TELLS OF MURDER
Jerome J. Kelly of Washburn was a visitor in the city last night and told of the horrors of the murder committed by George Froseth when he killed his wife, four children and himself. Froseth was apparently in his right mind Monday and friends after the murder-suicide declared they had seen nothing peculiar about his talk or actions, Mr. Kelly said.
BROTHER RESIDED HERE
George Froseth, who killed his wife and four children at his home at Washburn Monday night or Tuesday morning, was a brother of Edward Froseth, who before his death several years ago, resided at 1022 Therbrook St in this city. Although George Froseth had never resided in Chippewa Falls he had visited here. Another brother who survives is John Froseth, clerk of court of Washburn county.
