    3. Arizona Republican, Phoenix, Ariz., February 4, 1894, p. 4. NOTE: In other newspaper accounts, Stone is identified as Bud Stone and the victims as Wrattans and Wrattens. A SELF-CONFESSED FIEND A Murderer's List Lengthened by Another Victim Washington, Ind., Feb. 3-By a voluntary confession, Stone, the sextuple murderer now awaiting execution in Jeffersonville Prison, adds one more to his already awful list of crimes. When visited in prison by his aged father, Stone related his fearful butchery in detail, closing by acknowledging an atrocity of which he was not hitherto supposed guilty. It will be remembered that little Ethel, the seventh member of the family whom Stone murdered, survived the slaughter though severely injured and for several days hovered between life and death. She was the only living witness of Stone's fearful deed. Suddenly little Ethel died and Stone has confessed to his father that one day he went to the house and, while the family was at dinner, he smothered the little girl to death.
