BULLETS IN HIS BRAIN
And Knife GaSheS on His Body
His Head Was Badly
Beaten.

ELKHART, Ind, Nov. 14.-The after
loon of Oct. 9. an unknown man was
orutally murdered by tramps in the out
skirts of this city. He was lured to his
death, and died struggling to free him
Ielf from the power of his assasSinS, who,
with crude instruments, inflicted num-
Der of wounds, any one of which would
have been sufficient to cause death.
Two bullets were sent crashing through
his brain and with knife deep gashes
were made Oh his body. His head was
beaten into a mass of flesh and bones,
and after the bloody work of the mur-
derers had been accomplished the body
of their victim was buried in a neigh
boring wood. ana before the CHASTITY
evidences of the crime were discovered
the murderers made thitr escape.
The body of the unknown man was
taken TO the mOrgue and held for iden-
titication. Thousands of people passed
III view of the remains. but the un-
known mans identity remained mys-
terry. His body was buried in the pot
ter's field, and the police at once insti-
tuted all investigation with a view of
ascertaining. if possible, the name of
the unfortunate man. The first clue
was the finding several weeks ago of
pOcketbOok near the scene of the trag--
edy. In the purse was a slip of paper
bearing the address of the Luger Fur
niture company. of North St. Paul.
This led to correspondence which re-
veaed the fact that Carl Hommert, of
St. Paul. was missing, and that he mad
been lured to his death, robbery being
the motive. The fact was also established
that HOmmert had fallen heir to for
tune in Germany, and was probably
married. He had lived in North st.
Paul for a number OF years and was
employed at the furniture factory. The
Identification now appears to be COM
plete, and the unmarked grave in the
potter's field will surrender its dead.
The murderers have never been appre-
hended.

HOmmert was employed by the Luger
Furniture company in North St. Paul
over year ago as cabinetmaEer. and
was regarded as a skillful workman.
He occasionally drank too much, and
when under the influence of liquor he
would tell people that he was going to
get a large sum of money from Ger
many. As far as is known he had no
relatives in this country, but it is prob
able that he left wife and children In
the old country. When he left the EN-
plOy of the Luger Furniture company
last September he had quite a large
amount of cash in his possession.
Soon after his body was discovered
the chief of police of Eikhart communi-
Gated with the Luger company. The
letter contained an account of the trag-
edy and all the circumstances attending
1t. and also stated that Hommert had in
his possession a passport from the
American consul at COburg, a tintype of
young woman, and a photograph of
fonr children. Hommert was about

bank certificates and deeds. mortgages
and notes. The key to the chest had
besn taken from his pocket and the
chest opened, but the murderer did not
take all the money for some reason, No
clue has get been found. A post mortem
just held reveals the fact that one bullet
passed clear through mis- body and the
other lodged under his ear. They were
of SO caiiber. Otto has several children
all grown up and living on farms pur-
chased fol them by their father. who
also constructed residences and barns
for his children.

Damaging Testimony Against New
York Police.
AN OFFICER WITH EXPENSIVE TASTES
'aS =
Given Five Dollars for Drink and
Cigar.
BLACKMAIL BY BLUECOATS

NEW YORK, June 4.-The Lexow COM
mittee. which is INVESTIGATING the charge
that the police blackmailed the criminal
classes here. resumed it's sessions today.
Attorney Stillwell, the former counsel Of
Gideon Granger. formerly the son-in-law Of
Police Commissioner McClave, appeared In
court before the session opened and an
nounced that he would ask the privilege of
taking the stand and refuting under oath a
statement made by Delaney Nicoll, the
counsel for the police department, that he
was keeping Granger away.
Timothy Donohue, a junk dealer, was the
first witness called.
Counsel Goff sought to bring out that he
had paid a policeman attached to the Oak
street station to secure the acquittal Of his
son, who had been arrested on the COM
plant of an Italian woman for stealing a
lock.
The witness parred the attempts of coun-
sci for long time. but finally was forced to
acknowledge that he gave the officer -.
Then he said the policeman testified in
young Donohue's favor and he was acquit-
ted.
Il gave it not as bribe. but for him to
buy drink and a cigar" said the witness,
who appeared to be frightened.
He must have had expensive tastes"
said Senator Bradley.
NO. He did not smoke or drink
Then what did you give him s. for?''
The witness offered this curious explana-
ton: Because l am built that way"
This provoked laugh, and the witness
lost his scared look.
Delaney Nicoll cross-examined the wit
ness iE manner which caused the chair
man to remind him that questions permis-
sible during trial were not proper before
an investigating committee.
The name of the policeman and the date
of the trial was not brought out.
Lawyer Goff said that the publication in
the newspapers that the witnesses before
the committee would be summoned before
the police board and the grand jury intim-
idated them. He said two of his witnesses
had left the state rather than testify.
Senator O'Connor said the press could not
be muzzled.
Mr.. Nicoll said the police would suspend
investigating the charges against MEM
bers OF the department until the senate
committee had finished.
Augusta Theria a dressmaker of 63 West

She gave important direct testimony
against the police. She formerly lived on

DRESSED GRANITE


The recent agitation in behalf of an ar
tistic Improvement in the architecture OF
public buildings, has moved MIR. ORourke
supervising architect of the treasury, to
make change in the plans OF the Post
ONCE building in this city. The change
affects only the exterior appearance OF the
building and makes no alteration in the
general plan of construction. The origi-
nal plan called for walls of rough, un-
dressed Maine granite. Architect O'Rourke
thinks that the general effect of the use
OF such material on large building. such
as this will be. would be gloomy and de-
pressing. AS he said to a Star reporter,
the building would look more like a Jail
or reformatory than a post Office" and he
added that it's great size would merely en-
phasize that impression. The building will
be one of the tallest ever erected by the
government and being at the national cap
ital, IT will naturally be subject to more
criticism. than If it were anywhere else.
Consequently the authorities are desirous
that it should make good appearance.
The plan OF improvement does not apply
to the work already done, but to that which
IL TO follow. The contract for the super
structure contemplated that the exterior
walls should be constructed of quarry cut
granite of a dark gray color. This re-
qCired the use of stone with rough uneven
surface, giving to the whole a dark and
aspect COurSeS OF tnlS stone nave
now been laid nearly to the second floor Of
the building. 1t is now proposed to discon-
tnue the further use OF the rough stone
In the walls and to substitute therefor
dressed, smooth-faced granite. The object
OF the change is to make the exterior of
the structure brighter and more cheerful
looking. The architect says he is satis-
fed that this effect will be produced by
the use of dressed granite. The change
will increase the cost Of the building, but
will not materially delay its completion
In Mr.. ORourke's opinion the artistic
Improvement that will result from the
change will more than compensate for
the comparatively trifing additional ex-
pense.
The plan has been approved by Secretary
Carlisle and Assistant Secretary Curtis and
the contractor has expressed his entire
Willingness to act in accordance Herewith.
The law clerk of the architects office Is
looking into the legal aspects OF the case
and altering the provisions of the contract
to meet the changed conditions When
these legal formalities are concluded and
the governments interests protected in
every respect the plan will be put into i'm
mediate operation.

CAN'T LET GO.
The House Unable to Stop Debate ON
the State Bank Tax Repeal.

tne Stute b0nk TAX Repeal.
The House having got hold of the question
of the repeal of the state bank
tax does not seem to know how to let
go of 1t. 1t Is very generally understood
tnat the repeal cannot be accomplished, yet
there has been displayed a more general
desire to talk on the subject than there
was to discuss the tariff when 1t was in the
House. The declaration in favor of the re-
peal was 50 positive and unqualified in the
democratic national platform that the dem
ocrats who intend to vote against the
proposition feel compelled to make some ex-
pllnation of their position before doing so.
frhe disregard of platform declarations is
not such serious matter usually, but the
blanks of this particular platform have
been so generally ignored that the demo-
fcrats are becoming sensitive as to the accu-
mutation of instances Of it's violation
There IS but one opinion, apparently, as to
what the result of the vote on the bank
tax will be. and those most interested have
bceh trying to force vote so as to have
the matter done with, but there is no tell
ing how far into the week the discussion
will run. The Indian appropriation bill is
pressing for consideration. and determin-
ed effort will be made to clear the way for
1t. Mr.. Holman announced today that he
would call 1t up tomorrow raising the ques-
ton of consideration against the other
measure.
