Show EIGHT SLAIN IN BED. Were Murdered While Asleep, Heads Being Beaten Into Pulp With Ax. Villisca, Iowa. Joseph Moore, a Vil-lisca Vil-lisca business man, his wife and four children and two visitors were found murdered Monday at the Moore home. Their heads had been beaten to pulp and an ax covered with blood and human hair, found in the house, is supposed to have been the instrument with which the crime was committed. All were murdered in their beds. No robbery was committed and it seems clear that only revenge could have prompted the murderer unless the work was done by a madman. |
