J. Willis icnox, manager North After-lean Creamery, who killed his wife and two little daughters with an axe and then hanged himself, was insane. This was' the verdict today of citizens here who were shocked beyond measure by the terrible crime. Knox had always been regarded as a' model husband and was passionately devoted to his wife and daughters. The belief Is general that something snapped in his brain and that laboring1 under the hallucination that he was to be separated shortly from the members of the family, he deliberately planned to kill them and end his own life' as there had never been any quarrels In the household.

Insane Says Coroner Coroner J. McCaba today announced that no Inquest was necessary as It was plainly a. case of triple murder and suicide. He said that the deed was plainly that of a maniac. All four victims of the tragedy will be buried Sunday, and a single funeral service will be held at the Congregational church.

The date was deferred until Sunday in order to allow a brother of Mrs. Knox to reach Alexandria. The tragedy apparently occurred sometime early Wednesday morning. Knox did not appear at the creamery yesterday morning, but others employed there decided that he had prob-ubly driven out into the country on company business and paid no attention to his absence. Shortly after noon, however, neighbors heard groans coming from the house and notified Dr.

A. J. Kierland, who lives across the street, and broke In tlye front door. i Killed As She Slept Entering Mrs. Knox's bedroom, found her lying dead In bed, a terrific wound In the front of her head testifying mutely to the fact that he had been cruelly sluln with an Groans quickly attracted the Investigators to an adjoining room where the duughters, Dorothy, aged 10, and still alive but unconscious, were found in their bed which was a welter of blood.

Apparently the children hnd awakened when their father attacked them and had struggled to escape the madman for there were several nlight wounds on the sides of their heuds which. Indicated they had been struck glaclng blows, before the mortal wounds were Inflicted. Dorothy died a few minutes after being removed to a hospitul but Virginia lived until 8 o'clock last night. Hanged Self in Attic The Investigators were under the Impression that an unknown axeman maniac had probably attacked the members of the family while Knox was away from home, as there was no trace of the husband. The children had been removed to a hospital and tho coroner had been summoned to remove the body of Mrs.

Knox, when Mr. Noonan, president of the cream-cry, arrived to Inquire why Knox had failed to appear at' work. He finally went up Into the attic where he found Knox's body suspended from a rope attached 6 a rafter. Carleton Football Star Knox was regarded a one of Alexandria's best; citlrens. He was a graduate of Carleton college where he established a reputation as a football player, was superintendent of the Congregational Sunday school and one of the most active members -of that church here.

He was a kindly disposition and his even temper was a matter of comment by his' friends. He was last seen about Tyesday night when he appeared at the' home of a neighbor with scraps from the dinner table to feed the chickens. Neighbors now recall that they saw the lights turned oa In the Knox home about 8 o'clock yesterday morning, which Is supposed to have been the time of the tragedy. N. L.

Page, a brother of Mrs. Knox, will come here from Aburne, Maine, to attend the funeral. Other relatives who survive here are her mother, Mrs; N. l. Tags, and a sister, Miss Stella rage.

Knox Is survived by his mother, Mrs. Frank Gullies, who resides here, a brother. Dr. Frank Knox, of Warren, and his sisters, Mrs. Mabel Cheney, of Alexandria, and Miss Be-dora Knox, of Fargo.
