T. A. Waller said he had charged James C. Simecek with first degree murder after Simecek confessed stabbing to death Mrs. Arthur Petan, pretty 29-year-old farm wife, and her three children, Thursday; Meanwhile, Charles Tierney, assistant police chief of St.

Paul, advanced a theory In the deaths of seven members of the Thomas Seipel family near Plum City. Tierney said Seipel apparently- pumped bullets from a .22 calibre rifle Into his wife, Lucille, 30, and their five young children before turning the gun upon himself. The bodies were found Friday evening by Eldon Gilles, a relative who lived nearby. Gilles said that when he failed to see the Seipels at work In the farmyard on Friday, he became alarmed and investigated. Waller said the family had been dead 12 to 24 hours when found.

Gilles said he knew of no motive for the mass shooting. The children were Joan, 10; Cleo, Jean, Gary, 3, and a two-months-old daughter, Gwen Dorothy. Simecek told Waller he used a seven-inch hunting knife and a .32 calibre revolver in slaying the four Petan family members. After stabbing them, he said, "I set fire to the house by pouring five gallons of kerosene around the kitchen and parlor." The fire attracted Ed Bjornson, Spring Valley lumberman, who dragged the bodies from the house before they burned. Mrs.

Petan's husband came running from a grove in which he was working a mile away just as Bjornson pulled out the last body. Waller said Simecek offered no motive for the killing other than "I guess I thought she was kind of pretty," in reference to Mrs. Petan. A coroner's examination disclosed she had not been attacked.
