W) An unemployed steelworker killed his wife, 17-year-old daughter and two men, then shot himself to death. Police were looking today for a motive. Officers found the bodies Sunday in the home of the steelworker, Robert Miller, 42.

Miller was clutching a caliber pistol in one hand and a flashlight, still burning, in the other. A search of several hours uncovered the bodies of his wife. Helen, 47, and his daughter Dolores buried in a pile of coal in the cellar. Mrs. Miller was fully clad.

Her daughter was wearing a slip. Coroner W. Ralston McGee said both women had suffered multiple skull fractures, apparently inflicted with an ax. He said Mrs. Miller probably had been killed early Wednesday and her daughter some 12 hours later.

Police went to the Miller home, in a drab mineside community eight miles from here, after Anthony Rivak, 34, a former coal miner, staggered into a tavern and said he had been shot by Miller. The bodies of Miller and Steve Demko, 27, an auto mechanic who lived nearby, were found in a bed together in a downstairs room. In an upstairs bedroom was the body of an unidentified man about 25. Then the search for the wife and daughter began. There was no evidence of a struggle.

All window blinds were drawn when police arrived, doors were locked from the inside and fuses had been taken from the main switch box. Coroner McGee said: "It's definitely a case of four murders and a suicide. It is the worst case of its kind I've ever seen. There were no notes nothing to indicate the motive."

Phone 7576 Crime Career Ends in Death NEW YORK The long crime career of squint-eyed August Robles, sworn enemy of the law, ended in death Sunday after a blazing, 90- minute gun battle with police. The pint-sized gunman had- been the object of an intense, three-day manhunt in the city's Puerto Rican districts. Police, rankled by the memory of his two escapes Friday, were determined to get their man.

The elusive desperado was at last tracked down in a third-floor tenement hideaway on 112th street near Park avenue. Two hundred policemen surrounded the shabby building and pumped machine-gun, rifle and pistol bullets and tear gas into Robles' lair. He answered their challenges to surrender with gunshots. At one point tear gas caused a fire in the embattled four- apartment. Firemen turned streams of water into the building to quench the blaze even before the shooting ended.

Finally there were no more answering shots. Police gingerly entered the charred apartment, still reeking of acrid gunpowder and tear gas. A priest went with them to administer last rites. On the floor, in a pool of blood and water, lay Robles, who had sworn he would nev- er be taken alive. Blood oozed from a ragged chest wound.

A rough tourniquet had been tied around his leit arm, pierced by another bullet. He was barefoot and clad only in trousers and an undershirt. A woman's slipper and children's toys were on the floor beside him. A bright- eyed doll perched on a chest above. Police were tipped to Ro- hideaway Sunday afternoon.

a of officers were deployed on nearby rooftops, in neighboring buildings, doorways, cellars and fire escapes. When all was ready, three policemen went to Robles' door and shoved it open. There was a blast of shots from inside and two policemen were wounded. The battle was on. Found beside Robles' body were four revolvers, three of which he had taken from po- jlicemen who first tried to ar- I rest him early Friday.

Hij escape touched off the manhunt. Later he eluded four detectives in a Harlem housing project. Police originally went out to arrest Robles to question him about the gangland slaying of ex-convict Joseph Aronowitz in Brooklyn last Tuesday.
