Pooling, or Cooling, was a labourer and a quiet, hard-working man. He was born in tho Kyabram district. Jealousy, quarrelling, and law proceedings appear to havo unhinged his mind. Two children awoke and found their father and mother, two brothers, aged eleven and nine, and a six weeks' old baby dead, with their throats cut, lying on the iloor in one of the rooms; how the other two children escaped is remarkoblo, for tho blood was splashed on them. A blood-stained razor was found near Cooling, broken by the force used. Cooling was apparently shaving when tho tragedy occurred.
