Adolph Weber was born 1884 in California to Julius Adolph Weber (1852-1904) and Mary Theresa Mayer (1862-1904).
He had a sister named Bertha 1886-1904, and a brother Chester Earl 1896-1904.
They all lived in Auburn, CA
Here's his story.
10 November 1904 Adolph was in his room masterbating (Supposedly) when caught by his father, who left his room and went to the kitchen. Adolph grabbed a gun he had purchased from a pawn shop and walked into the kitchen and looked his father in the face and shot him in the heart. He then proceeded to the parlor where his sister was playing the piano and he faced her and shot her in the heart. His mother must of heard the noise because she was headed to the telephone when Adolph reached her. He shot her in the back and in the head. He then went to his little brother, being out of bullets he clubbed him to death, Chester was lame and mentally slow. After he killed his family he set the house on fire.
