Stour children, their throats cut, were

lail were dead.
* Officers who investigated the quin
tuple deaths said the razor was found
'clasped in one hand of the dead
woman. It is their theory that Mrs.
Melton slew the children and then
took her own life before collapsing
beside the bodies of the four. She
is said to have been mentally de
ranged for some time.
Melton left bis home about 2 o'cloc k
Saturday afternoon, remaining in
Mangum until late that evening, he
told officers.
A linger print expert from the State
reformatory at Granite, called at the
scene examined the razor and room,
slating afterward that the fingers
prints on furitgre ami lb" razm- were
those of the dead woman.
Mrs. Mellon repeatedly bad de
clared to her husband that "somebody
was coming to murder us." he told
officers. He said he had gone to j
Mangum to take his shotgun and
leave it with a friend, fearing the
woman might attempt to take her i
life.

VATICAN AROUSED
BY HERRIOT LETTER
Church Circles Hold Premier Is
Voicing Anti-Religious Spirit
in France.
..r the Aft»o<‘uted Press.
ROME. September 29—The reply
of M. Herriot, the French premier, to
the French cardinals respecting the !
suppression of the French embassy !
to the Vatican is much commented j
upon in Home, both inside and out
side the Vatican. Authoritative per- i
Manages in the Pope's entourage de
clare that M. Herriot, under the cloak
of liberty, im|>artiality and tolerance j
for all forms of w'oraltip, is simply
voicing the anti-religious spirit
which originated with the Voltaire
doi trines and reached Us apex, first
during the French revolution and
later with anti-clericalism, that dur
ing the last century culminated in
France with the Combes and ‘laiubet
presidencies.
Vatican circles charge M Herriot
with short-sightedness and ingrati
tude. declaring tthat he does not
realize, or forgets, the great advan
tages France has gained, both at
home and abroad, by the support re
ceived from the church.
The great bulk of the liberals ap
plaud M. Herriofs letter, which they i
characterize as one of the clearest
and most comprehensive presenta
tions of a modern lay state on the
supreme sovereignty of civil govern
ment. permitting no interference by
any religion in the management of
public affairs, but allowing Hie free
development of any < .ult within the I

laws which protect all citizens, ir
respective of their religious opinion.
The passage in which Premier Her
riot recalls that Hichelieu and Uut
arln both held strongly to the need
of the state's being independent of
church interference is considered a
moot effective counter-attack, as well
as the reference to Franco protecting
Catholicism in the Near East, instead
of the church protecting France.
