Chicago, July 5.-Frederlck Hell
mann. a well-to-do mason contractor,
murdered his wife and four children
last night and then killed himself. Il
was at first supposed that Hellmann
and his wife and children had mel
death by accident, but it developed at
the coroner's inquest that wholesale
murder was calmly planned, and that
the man intended to kill himself and
end the existence of the members OF
his family. The dead man and MS
victims are:
Frederick Hellmann, aged 81
Mrs. Ida Hellmann, aged 81.
Fred Hellmann, il, aged II.
Ida Hellman. aged 10.
William Hellman, aged /
Hedwig Hellmann, the 5-year-old
daughter.
scene OF the Tragedy.
The tragedy took place IN u little
brick cottage at Cornelia and WOOD
streets. 1t is supposed the act was
that of a mailman, as Hellnann vas
ten years ago sunStrUck, from Whlon
he never completely recovered.
Suspicion was first aroused this
morning by the fact that the house III
which the Hellmanns lived was ughtly
closed long after the usual hour ~;
the family to be astir. The mother
and married sister of Hellmann, who
lived next door, forced an entrance
and the dead bodies were found. The
house was so full Of gas that the two
women We're nearly overcome. 1t was
at once concluded that the deaths had
been the result of an accident and the
police adhered to the same opinion.
At the inquest this afternoon, how
ever, an entirely different complexion
was given the affair by Charles, a
brother of IIellmann who produced a
letter written by the murderer and
suicide late on the previous evening
in which he clearly stated his purpose
of killing himself. although he gave
no intimation of the fact that he was
meditating the death of the mem berS
of his family. He spoke of the window
through which the women had craWled
to gain entrance to the house this
morning as the only way in (which his
brother could gain admission to the
house, and said that he had left it
open for that purpose The brother
had not received the letter until after
noon and came directly to the in
quest.
Had Fought Desperately.
The position of the bodies at the
time they were found indicated that
the two boys and older girl fought
desperately to leave the room after the
father had turned on the gas. THE
mother and baby were lying on the
inside of the bed, as if in peaceful
slumber, but the two boys and girl
were in different attitudes, and the
expressions of their faces were those of
persons who had struggled hard. The
fathers hand was firmly placed across
the mouth of the older boy and there
is an abrasion on the throat of the
other lad as though he had been
Strangled.

story is brought from India via Hong
Kong by the steamer City of Rio ia

tendent of police az Cobra, by his
wife The woman makes excuse for her
terrible deed by explaining that her
husband was most brutal to her, and
in moment of passion she seized a
rifle and shot Mr.. Lester through the
back, killing him instantly.
Peculiar interest is taken in the case
because of the prominence Of the par
Elephants. Mr.. Lester was the nephew
of Sir Edwin Arnold and the son of
an old Bombay general, and Mrs.
Lester is the daughter OF Colonel Bra
ham, an old Indian campaigner. She
was married to Lester five years ago.
The tragedy occurred on the night

as Pawnghar kill, Panch Mahais dis
trict. The Testers had been encamped
at Champaner for some time. and it
was desired that the camp be removed
to the top of the hill, which is $500
feet high. The lady objected to NOV
ing and begged TO be permitted to re-
turn to her home in Bombay. but Les
ter refused to grant her request. She
finally agreed to accompany her huS-
band, and on the It'll of May the NOV
ing party started up the grade. Camp
was reached on the morning of the Sth.
On the morning of the 9Th a courier
arrived at Mr. Littledale's camp, half
way down the mountain, with the
news that Mr.. Lester had been killed.
A letter written by Mrs. Lester was
handed the Littledales, in which COM
munication the lady made the state
ment that she had shot her husband,
as she could not stand his brutal treat
ment any longer, and asked that the
authorities be notified.
Mrs. Lester was arrested, but ex-
pressed TO sorrow for her deed. which
has created a profound sensation
throughout India.

went smoothly enough until several
gangs of diSturberS appeared on the
scene and began to make trouble
Their was d number of booths on the
grounds where intoxicantS were served

lntruderS, who soon began TO Insult
the Germans and their wives. The
priest, who was present, counseled
his people TO avoid trouble. and pay
no attention to the jeers of the elf
drunken marauders. Mistaking this
tolerance for cowardice, the intruders
became bolder, and soon precipitated
a fight, which in a few moments as
sumed the proportions of a desperate
riot, in which everybody took part.
Clubs, chairs and beer bottles were
brought into play and the peaceful
picnic was Immediately transformed
into a mass Of struggling, cursing
men and screaming women.
Horrible 0utrages.

outsiders, was armed with d huge
knife, with which he stabbed and cut
many persons. He was finally opposed
by d sturdy German. who was more
than match for him until Wilson
plunged the knife into his neck. AS
the man fell back his wife sprang
through the crowd and dealt Wilson
a terrible blow with a beer bottle,
crushing his skull. During the melee
one of the intruders kicked the woman
about to be a mother. killing her child
and fatally injuring her.

HAVE A RIGHT TO BE.
Postal officials Disguised over the
Escape.


Washington. July 5.-Postmaster-
General Wilson and other officials of
his department are greatly Disguised
over the escape of the accused post
Office robbers from the Ludlow street
jail. Mr.. Wilson today offered re-
ward of $1,000 each for their capture
and he also wrote letter to United
States Attorney Mcfarland, at New
York, in which he asserts that he can
not avoid the conclusion that some
one is criminally responsible for the
escape. He declares his belief that
those whose carelessness or criminal
ity made the escape possible should be
held to a strict accountability. The
postmaster-general asserts that, con-
sidering the desperate character of the
men and their well-known criminal
records, every precaution should have
been taken, and he also criticizes the
jail officers for permitting the prison.

INCOME TAN REFUND.
Applications For Cash Continue 10
Come In.


Come In.
Washington, July 5.-The internal
revenue bureau has already received a
number of applications for the refund
of the amounts paid as income taxes
prior TO the decision of the United
States Supreme Court, declaring the
law 70 be unconstitutional. The blank
forms of application for the refund
were sent out about ten days ago and
almost Immediately began to return
from nearby points. The question as
to whether the commissioner can repay
the amounts without formal authority
from Congress, has never been for
mally raised. but the officials have no
doubt that the law authorizing the
commissioner to refund internal reve-
nue. taxes wrongfully collected will be
held to apply to the taxes collected
on incomes. The amount collected does
not exceed $4,000.
