Oscar Penttila, aged 66, an old ti lumberjack of the Cusson-Orr district, shot and killed Rose Wahlberg, ubout 82, and Alec Leino, mney their respective homes Satu = erngon, spent ae} night in ine yeaBin of a friend, and took his own life Sunday morning. A dozen pencil-scrawled’ notes in the Finnish language are all that re- main‘ to reveal the motive for the slayings. The notes, written after the murders took place, lack coher- ence and seem to be the work of a disordered mind, according to the deputy. coroner, and throw little light on: the}‘erime. Nailed Doors Shut After slaying the woman and Leino, with whom he made his home, Pent- tila, locked and natled the doors of both cabins and made his way to the home of Herman Pelto, several miles away, where he asked permission to rest. He remained in the cabin un- til about 7:80 Sunday morning. Then he left, telling his host he was going after some liquor. Meantime Frank Leino, brother of the murdered;man, and for whom Mrs. Wahlberg kept house, bad re- turned to hig home Inte Saturday. Finding the door barred, he broke in to discover the woman's body on the floor. One of the Penttila notes was found in the cabic. It confessed to the slaying. A party then went to the home of Alec Leino and found him dead. A posse was organized and it, searched afl the cabins of the neighborhood: Shortly after they ar- aval at the Pelto t and investigation disclosed Pentti 's body in a little out-cabin. The bodies were ginia last night. TODAY 1T ALL COMES BACK. CONSPICUOUS GOOD NEWS. EAT SOUP, MINERAL SALTS. BEER LESS VIOLENT. BY ARTHUR BRISBANE.
