CRIME WAS PRECONCEIVED.
Letter to Friend Gave First ews
of TrajrcdY Povcrtv in the
Presence of Christmas
Thought to Have
Been Cause.
Cleveland, O.. Deo. 20. Roscoe vV. Der
by, a machinist, about 45 v. ears old,
exterminated his family early to-day by
shooting his wife, his three children and
then himself.
The crime Is believed to have been due
to his despondency over the impoverished
condition of the family purso and the near
npproach of Christmas.
Tho crimes were extraordinary in their
thoroughness and there was evidently no
mishap In their enactment. The wife was
killed first, while sleeping at her husband's
sldo in bed: two of the children were
killed as they ran hither and thither
through the house m the darkness of tho
early morning, endeavoring; to escape their
merciless parent- The third child was
kill! in lis bed after Its elder brother
and sister had been slaln.
L.ETTER IN MAIL REVEALED CRIME.
Tits first knowledge of the crime was
communicated in a letter written by Der
by yesterday to a friend, who lived not
far away, and which was sent him by
special delivery. Tho letter wHS to th
effect that when it had been received tha
Derby family would bo dead. When the
friend hurried to the house this moraine
all that had been promised was seen to
have been fulfilled.
The dead are:
Roscoe W. Derby; his wife. Delia; Har
old, aged 8: Alice, aged 7. and Thoma-.
aged 5. Derby had been downtown lata
last night ostensibly shopping, but in all
probability securing ammunition for his
revolver. When he got home his wife and
he talked with a neighbor, who had been
calling, over the approachinB festival.
Derby was pale and seemed nervous.
Shortly after his arrival at home the
nelghbpr-left and the Derby family went
to bed.
The crime. It Is believed, was commit
ted about 4 o'clock this morning. Mrs
Derby was shot to death In bed, two bul
lets having been fired into her forehead,
and a third, probably fired after the chil
dren had been exterminated, in the back
of the neck.
KILLED 'WIFE
WHILE SHE SLEPT.
Mrs. Derby probably waa killed during
sleep, the expression on her face showing
no sign of a struggle, and it was calm
and peaceful.
Two of the children, however, had a
struggle with their Infuriated parent, be
cause they had been awakened by tho
noise of the revolver and sought to es
cape him, but without avail.
Harold's body was found lying In a pool
of blood in the kitchen, and that of Alice
in the dining-room with her face to the
floor and a. buUet in her breast. Harold
may have been chased by his father, as
there were evidences of a fight In the
manner in which tho furnishings of the
kitchen were thrown about.
From the location of the bullet In his
head, the boy evidently was caught by
Ids father In a strong grasp and held
while the weapon was placed against the
little fellow's forehead and the bullet sent
into his brain. There was no evidence of
a struggle on Alice's part. The last of the
children to die was Thomas, aged E. Ho
had remained In bed. probably still asleep,
and also received bullets In his head,
dying ins tint !y.
After the extraordinary crimes had been
committed the perpetrator of them went
into the bedroom, where his wife had
been killed, and, lying down at her side,
fired a bullet into his own brain.
A number of poolroom race checks were
found about the house, showing that Der
by had been trying his luck on betting.

the service by reading the liist three
verses of tho first-chapter of Ucii'sls. As
the rabbi s,i!d "Let there be light" and

above took up the theme by .singing a re
sponse built around the sentiment.
While the choir was singing, Isaac Rus

these extraordinary statements, yet not
more extraordinary than those of 1S9S,
they hear both sides now, as then, and

SEGREGATION OP LANDS.
In view of the fact? bro.iht to light
slnco the. Delaware lanJs we.v segregated
from the Cherokces. the commission ex
prca'ex the opinion that those lands hive
not 1'i-r selected with .i due recard for
the interests of either the Delaware In
dians generaUy or of other citizens of the
Cherokee Nation, and that further pro
ceedings bearing on tho segregation of
these lands w III be absolutely necessary to
protect the rlgbts of the citizens (con
cerned. The commission recommends that Con
gress authorize the disposition of the ex
cess lands of the Creek Indians under
sealed bids for the benefit of the tribe, the
funds derived therefrom to be used in
equalizing the value of allotments among
the Creeks.
Complete allotments of ICO acres each
have been made to 11,480 citizens of that
tribe, and comparatively few allotments
remain to be made. Allotments have been
completed on the Seminole lands, and the
.surplus of 18.630 acres remains in that
ration, and their sale under sealed bids
is recommended.
Tocheck the speculation In pine timber
on ttT": Choctaw and Chickasaw lands, the
commission recommends the sale of the
standing pine under scaled bids. Recom
