ARLINGTON, Neb., May Especial e
the Omaha Herald; There are some
startling changes to-day in the develop
ments OF the Freese disaster, some
claiming that evidence has been found
in remnants of clothing taken from the
remains of the victims to estshlish sk
fact of murder. Ii is also claimed tina
cash has been discovered on the throa
of Mrs. Groteluschen, which PROVED
that she came to her death at the hands
of murderer Ii is now thought by
some that Louis Groteluschen fired the
barn to attract his victims, and dis
patched them in cold blood as they came
upon the scene, leaving them TO the
flames to cover his bloody work, and
ending his own life in the flames that
consumed his Victims Some of our
citizens made a thorough search OF all
surroundings Mt the barn, and the tras-
edy story is more firmly impressed
upon the minds of those who
have held that belief since the occur
renee of the fire. Every effort will be
put forth to make further discoveries,
but the traces of crime, ii crime II WAS,
are 81 thoroughly covered by the aid Of
the fnmes that the fact Of murder Is
very hard to establish Whether crime
be established, or whether the deaths
were the cause OF accident, the calamity
has given the people of Washington
county shock from which they will be
slow to recover The remains were
buried this afternoon in the German
