CHICAGO, ILL. July 5.-Frederlck Hell
man. a mason contractor, IS years old.
last night murdered his wife and four
children by asphyxiatlon, and died with
them. The victims were:
Fritz Heimer. 90 years Of age.
Ida Helmer. his wife. 81.

Willie Helmer, s.
HedNig Helmer. 1.
Ida Helmer II.
THE MURDER PLANNED.
The house is small, but it was their
own, and the family was supposed 70 be
living happily together. That the muir
der was deliberately planned by the
father of the family during the past few
weeks Is beyond doubt Ever since Hell
man built his houes It has been supplied
with gas-pipes. but there has been no
connection with the gas-main, and there
were no fixtures in the house. Several
weeks ago he had his pipes connectei
and fixtures put in the family bedroom
only. the entire family sleeping In one
small room. II seems now certain that
Holman had it done for the express pur-
pose Of using the gas in numbering his
family. The gas was turned on after
the family had gone to sleep.
EVIDENCES OF \ STRUGGLE.
The body of Holman showed evidences
OF a struggle He first shut the doors
and turned on the gas and then laid
down to die with his family. There Is
only one explanation, and that IS that
Holman was crazy. He Is said to have
been fairly-well provided with worldly
goods. and 10 have had no family dissen-
sons He was naturally Of morose
disposition. but no one thought he would
commit suicide or murder. He left a
note for his brother. in which he gives
instructions regarding the disposition OF
his property. He says In II that he will
not be living when the note is received,
but says nothing Of the premeditated
death of the rest Of the family.
