the Twos Recently Released From An
Asylum. Supposed to Have Committed

ing About tho Premises
MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, June "A ter
rible tragedy occurred at 1929 Nicollet
avenue. Mrs. Martha M. Elias and
daughter lives there over Harris drug
store. About a. M people in the VIE
cinity heard a pistol shot and in few
minutes later another. Soon after
ward investigation showed that =
double murder had been COM
mitted. The daughter was found dead
in bed. There had been no struggle
and she lay as if asleep, but
when raised up the back of her head
was found to be nearly shot away.
The body of the old lady was found
lying across the bed outside the covers.
Her face and head had been frightful-
ly mangled with shot from A. cali
Der Colts revolver fired into the head
between the eyes. The mother was at
first supposed to have been insane and
to have killed her daughter and then
shot herself. But the coroner thought
the deed might have been done by con-
sent of both. They lived alone and were
employed in a laundry.
Later developments, however, indi-
cate that instead of murder and sui
eide" it was a double murder commit
ted by the son and brother of the dead
people. The young man was released
from the insane asylum the first of
May, and was seen about the premises
yesterday. In the room was found =
satchel containing s1o9. and the cur
tains were torn by the murderer jump
ing from the window.

A Terrible Harvest of Death in Philadel-

PHILADELPHIA, June 3.-The trop-
zeal heat prevailing since Thursday
has reaped a terrible harvest of death
in Philadelphia. The prostrations
from heat number several scores, and
on Friday there were two deaths,
three on Saturday, and the climax
was reached yesterday, when seven
teen persons died of heat prostration.
The thermometer yesterday in the
weather bureau Office, at its max
imum at o'clock p. M, reg
istered 95 degrees, two degrees
lower than Saturdays maximum. The
lowest point touched by the thermome-
ter yesterday was at $50 a. M, when
it stood at 70 degrees From that time
on until o'clock the mercury went
booming upward till it reached 95 de-
grees. To the gasping thousands COM

dents of Philadelphia was as great as
it has been on any day of the prevail

and the workers in the mills and man.
ufactories were able to seek what cool
ness they could. But for this the NOR
tally would have undoubtedly been
much higher than it was.
Reports received from points
throughout eastern Pennsylvania show
that the heat in that section has been
as great as it is in Pniladelphia.
