VICTIM KNOWN HERE
Mrs. Mullenax of CDA visited in Sandpoint last summer.
Mrs. Mullenax, who was one of the victims of an awful tragedy at the Mullenax home near CDA last week, was a visitor in Sandpoint during the past summer. Mrs. Mullenax was living at the home of her son and daughter-in-law at the time of the crime in which the daughter in law suddenly became demented, and after killing her two children and pitching their bodies into the bay, she attacked her mother in law with and axe and nearly killd the elderly woman also.
The elder Mrs. Mullenax visited Mrs. S A Thomas of this city for a couple of months during the summer. She was here at the time of the homecoming celebration on July 11 and Mrs. Mullenax and Mrs. Thomas, during the later part of August, went to Kalispell, Mont., the old home of the Mullnaxes, and after visiting for a short time Mrs. Thomas returned to Sandpoint and Mrs. Mullenax went, a few weeks afterward, to CDDA to live with her son and daughter in law.
Mrs. Thomas has visited at the home of the Mullenaxes and says that the daughter in law has shown queer traits in the past, among them being a kind of hallucination that the elder Mrs. Mullenax had some hypnotic influence over her two young grandchildren and was trying to get them away from her – the mother. The younger Mrs. Mullenax would not let the grandmother touch the children.
