"He murdered Harriett and Ella Starkweather in bed with an ax and attempted to burn the house, hoping thereby to get the family farm. The phrenologist reported his conscientiousness as weak; his hope, large." – McDade, Annals of Murder, 905. This is a variant edition, per McDade, with the words "and his confession" following the word "conviction" on title page.
