ATTEMPTS SUICIDE and Daughter to Death and Wounds Wife. By the Associated Press. CHARLESTON, S. C., January 2—| First Sergt. Charles W. Long of the 8th | Infantry revived sufficiently late today | to say “T must have been crazy” when he fatally injured his 11-year-old daughter and his 8-year-old son With a hatchet, critically injured his wife and then attempted suicide at Fort Moul- trie shortly after daybreak today. The tragedy occurred at the Long home at the Army post. Investigators were unable to assign a reason for it, but believed the 51-year-old soldier was seized with & sudden mania. Long had | married during the occupation of the Rhine, following the World War. Both children were born in Germany. Groans Lead to Discovery. The affair was not discovered until 8:30 this morning when a non-com- missioned officer heard groans coming from the Long home. He notified offi- cers and it was found necessary to force the doors to the house. Lomy was found on the floor at the foot of a bed, on which his wife was lying groaning. The two children were found in an- other room badly beaten on the head with the hatchet. Mrs. Long also suf- fered severe blows from the instrument and her condition was considered grave at Roper Hospital here tonight. Long had attempted suicide by slashing his throat and wrists with a razor. Mrs. Long this afternoon told inves- tigating officers she could offer no ex- planations of her husband's deed. Fri- day night, she said, Sergt. Long ap- peared normal and they spent the eve- ning together, retiring about 9:30. The children had attended a motion picture at the post and the parents had taken a walk together. Condition Is Serious. Mrs. Long and the two children were first given emergency treatment at the post hospital, then brought to Roper Hospital here. Long remained at the post hospital. His condition tonight | was serjous. Irmgard Marie, the 11-year-old daughter, and Johnny, the 8-year-old | old son, died this afternoon Long was one of the oldest non-com- missioned officers of the 8th Infantry.
