WIFES CONDITION HOPELESS AT OKLAHOMA FARMHOUSE FIRE
Norman Oklahoma December 21 two rural tragedies occupy the day. Godfried Velasky and his wife were carried to the state asylum after Velasky burned by flames and pulled away his flesh while his wife, once sane, became violent and will recover poorly. The couple leave two children in the care of Velasky’s brother in law Joe Slager. In Newark two elderly sisters Frances and Isabel Ritchie were found dead with the younger hanging and the other stabbed with a hatpin. Investigations suggest possible mutual killing or suicide but details remain unclear.
