KILLED BY TURKISH OFFICERS.
Latest from Armenia Concerning
Cycler Lenx's Murder.

PITTSBURG, July 5-Another letter con-
firming the death in. Armenia of Frank
Lenz the Pittsburg wheelman who was
making tour around the world. has been
received here by T. p. Langhans from
missionary in Asia Minor. The name of the
missionary is not given. because his life
would be endangered If the Turkish govern
ment should learn that he was writing on
the case. The missionary, however. is
working with Sachtleben, the ST. Louis man
who sent out in search of Lenz. The
letter states that they have discovered that
Lenz was murdered by Turkish cavalry Of
ficers high in the service of the sultan and
for that reason the work Is attended with
great danger. The bell of Lenz's bicycle
was found at Teharouk. His mirror mail
box and another box which he is known to
have carried were found in the river be-
tween Shanria and Musersta, while the
tires of his wheel were discovered at Te-
heIkni. where Kurd was using them for
a saddle girth. The letter states further
that Sachtleben could find the remains of
Lenz If it were safe to undertake the work
but owing to the high standing of his mur-
derers the task is too dangerous. and all
further Investigations will have to be aban-
doned unless the government OF the United
States interferes and gives protection.

WORK OF A DEMENTED MAN
LETTER TO HIS BROTHER INDICAT-
ING SUICIDE But NOT MURDER.
Nephew of Sir Edwin Arnold Killed
mel Witch-Burner Convicted.

CHICAGO, July 5.-Frederick Hellman, a
well-to-do mason contractor. murdered his
wife and four children last night and then
killed himself 1t was at first supposed
that dellman and his wife and children
met death by accident, but ii developed at
the coroner's inquest this afternoon that
the 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 his victims
are:
FREDERICK, HELLMAN. aged thirty
seven.
MRS; ,IDA HELLMAN. aged th,irty-two.
Ida HELLMAN, aged ten.
WILLIAM HELLMAN, aged seven.
HEDWIG HELLMAN, the three-year-old
daughter.
The tragedy took place in little brick
cottage at Cornelia and Wood streets 1t
is supposed the act was that of a madman
as Hellman ten years ago suffered sun
stroke, from which he never completely
recovered Suspicion was first aroused this
morning by the fact. that the house in
which the Hellmans lived was tightly closed
long after the usual hour. for the family
to be astir. The mother and married sister
of Hellman. who lived next door. attempted
to do so. They finally managed to force
an entrance through window in one OF
the bedrooms. and the dead bodies of all
the family were found. The house so
full of gas that the two women were nearly
overcome 1t was at once concluded that
the deaths had been the result of acci-
dent, and the police, when they came, ad-
hered to the same opinion.
At the inquest this afternoon, however,
an entirely different complexion was given
the affair by Charles, brother of He'll
mann. He produced a letter written by the
murderer and suicide late on the previous
evening in which he clearly stated mis- pur-
pose of killing himself. although he gave
no intimation of the fact that he was
meditating the deaths 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 he had left it open for
| that purpose. The brother had not re-
ceived the letter until afternoon, and came
| directly TO the inquest.
| The position of the bodies at the time
| they were found indicated that the two
| boys and the older girl fought desperately
! to leave the room after the father had
| turned on the gas. The mother and the
| baby were lying on the inside of the bed,
as if in peaceful slumber, but the two boys
and the older girl were in different atti-
| tudes, and the expression on their faces
| were those of persons who had struggled
hard The fathers hand was firmly placed
across the mouth fof the older boy, and
| there is an abrasion on the throat Of the
other lad as though he had been strangled.

and Dennis Ganey, the latter known as the

charged with burning and Ill treating Mrs.
Cleary until death relieved her from
further suffering. The evidence showed
that she was suffering from nervousness
and bronchitis and that her husband. be-
lieving her to be bewitched, forced nause-
GUS decoction down her throat for the pur-
pose OF exercising the evil spirit. After
this the unfortunate woman was held over
fire and dreadfully burned until she de-
clared in the name Of God, that she was
not Cleary's wife. This torture was re.
her down, stripped of her clothing, poured
paraffine over her body, lighted it and the
woman burned TO death In the presence of
her relatives. Cleary claimed that he was
not burning his wife but the witch. The
prisoners narrowly escaped lynching at the
hands of the crowd in and about the court
room at Clonmel when they were first ex-
amined, and they had to be taken to the
Jail under strong escort.
