KISSEL Associated Press Writer BEECH CREEK, Pa. thought Jon Calvin -Smith was establishing new ties to his three children during a visit over the Father's Day weekend, but by dawn Sunday, all four were dead.

After two days of drives in the country, bike rides in the neighborhood and a Little League baseball game, Smith lined up his sons and a daughter in the master bedroom of the double-wide trailer that had once been their home. There, he fired rifle shots into each of their heads. Jon 10; and Justin, 4, died immediately. Jennifer, 6, died at a hospital later. After calling to police to report their murders, Jon 28, look his own life with a shotgun blast.

"I saw them over there Saturday playing with their dad, riding the bicycle. They were good kids," Bill Heaton, shucking peas in his garage Monday. "Their dad took them out for a drive Friday." On the plateau that is eastern Beech Creek, other neighbors said the children were constantly hungry for company that their parents, baseball and baton twirling couldn't give them. "The kids were alright. They just wanted attention.

The father never gave them any. The mother gave them some," said Gene Eberhart, from the neighborhood that borders the two- trailer trailer park where Smith lived. The oldest boy was the leader of the pack, often shepherding his siblings away from the busy two-lane highway that cuts through town.

was always there. "I was working on the lawn mower one day and the older boy would sit right next to me, handing me wrenches," said King, whose son, Ed married Jon Smith sister, Cheryl.

Neighbors said Smith appeared to be setting things straight with his children. Saturday, the family took in Jon Little League baseball game on the edge of town.

The day after the shooting, a ball and two bats were in the yard. Their bikes were parked on the edge of the front porch. "If you ever find a reason why, let me know. There isn't one," said Cpl. Fred Caldwcll of the Pennsylvania State Police.
