AN INSANE FATHER
He Ends the Existence of His

ALL SIX FOUND DEAD IN BED.
Act Premeditated but the
Reason for Committing
1t Not Given.

CHICAGO, July S.-Frederick He'll
murdered his wife and four children
and then killed himself. 1t was at first
supposed that Hellman and his wife
and children met death by accident,
but it developed at the coroner's in
quest that the wholesale murder was
calmly planned and that the man in
tended to kill himself and end the ex-
istence of the members of his family
The dead man and his victims are:
FREDERICK HELLMAN, aged 81.
Mrs. IDA HELLMAN, aged 32
FRED HELLMAN, JR., aged IL.
IDA HELLMAN, aged 10.
WILLIAM HELLMAN, aged I.
HEDWIG HELLNAN, aged 3.
Hellman Probably Insane.
The tragedy took place i'll little
brick cottage at the corner of COrnella
and Wood streets. The motive fbr the
deed is unknown but it is supposed the
act was that of a madman, as Hellman,
about 10 years ago, had sunstroke
from which he never recovered COM
pletely.
Suspicion was first aroused by the
fact that the house in which the He'll
mans lived was tightly closed long
after the usual hour for the family to
be astir. The mother and married Sis
ter of Hellman, who lived next door,
attempted to break into the house but
were unable to do So They finally
managed to force an entrance through
a window that had been left unfa5-
tened and made their way to one of the
bedrooms whore the
Dead Bodies Of All the Family
We're found. The house was so full of
gas that the two women We're nearly
over ONE, and it was only after it had
been opened up that il was found pos
sible to turn off the gas, which was
streaming from an open jet The rela-
tives and neigh bOrs at once circulated
that the deaths had been the result of
an accident and the police adhered to
the same opinion. The open gas jet
was Just above the bed in which the
mother and one of the children lay,
and it was supposed that one Of them
had during the night accidentally hit
the stopcock and knocked it open. At
the inquest, however, an entirely diff
ferent complexion was given the affair
by Charles, brother Of Hellman. He
produced letter written by the MUIR
derer 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 med
itating the deaths Of the members of
his family. He spoke of the window
through which the women had crawled
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 afternoon and came di.
rectly to the inquest. 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
