Pastor Accused of the Crimes.

SALT LAKE CUtah). May pa hor-
rible tragedy, in many respects similar
TO the murders committed by Durrant
at San Francisco, has been unearthed
In this city. In this case, as in the other,
the sanctuary of God was the scene Of
the crimes, and the victims two women.
The pastor of the church, Rev. Francis
Hermann, is accused of the murders.
The scene of the crimes was the First
Scandinavian Methodist Church. ait 15S
Second East street.
Last year the pastors wife died, and
he engaged Miss Clawson, an attractive
young woman of %, to stop at the
church building, which is large and ac-
commodities several families in the
wings, to look after his apartments.
In September last Miss Clawson sud-
denly disappeared, and has not been
seen alive since. Immediately after her
disappearance the pastor, although the
weather was hot at that season, or
dered big fire built in the furnace in
the basement of the church. He sent
everybody away, and lighting the fire
himself, kept it going for hours. Persons
residing in the neighborhood detected
exceedingly bad odors at the time the
with Mr.. Hermann but he said he wanted
to give the fiues a thorough test before
cold weather came.
1t was in this furnace a few days ago
that the bones of Miss Clawson, to-
gether with two blackened razors,
butcher knife part of a woman's garter,
buckles and a brOach We're found.
The other victim was a. Miss Annie

disappeared in February last, and it is
supposed her remains are concealed
somewhere about the church.
The police, who have been secretly
working on the case for several days,
found a barrel, the head of which is
covered with human blood, and the
theory is that the murderer. after kill
ing his victims. carried them up on the
barrel-head. Blood stains were also
found on the furnace door and on the
floor.
Rev. Hermann, for whose arrest a
warrant has been issued on the charge
of murder, left Salt Lake City on May
1th for Kansas City, thence for Deco
rah, Iowa, on a missionary tour. Since
his departure he has not been heard of,
and kilograms sent to both Kansas City

Hermann is of Scandinavian descent,
hut was born in England. He is about
4G years of age. and exceedingly we'll
educated He has been married three
times, and it is said all his wives have
died under suspicious circumstances. In
his study were a large collection of poi
sons and drugs Of various kinds. The
detectives believe the girls were out
ragged and then murdered by the
preacher.
A RECORD OF CRIME.
Iater.-Further developments in the
Scandinavian Church tragedy in this
city lead to the belief that the Rev,
Francis Hermann is a man with rec
ord of crime little less than the notori-
Gus Holmes. His first wife died in Eng
land under suspicious circumstances.
He was pastor of d Scandinavian church
at West Superior, Wisconsin. in 1870
and 1891, and there married highly re-
spected lady, who in less than a year
died very suddenly with her twC-weeKs-
cid baby An inquest was held, but
nothing beyond a suspicion of foul play
was elected Hermann soon married
again, and came to Salt Lake in 1854
with his wife Before long a baby was
born. and the mother and child died
suddenly a few weeks after.
Then his acquaintance with Miss
Clawson commenced, and it is charged
in the complaint, which has been
sworn to by John Samson, q member OF
the church here. that he murdered and
cremated the body in the heating fur
mace in the church basement
He was engaged to marry Miss Sam
uelson in February of this year but she
disappeared, and it is charged that he
poisoned her after seducing her, and
carved up the body in the church eel
lar.
As far as yet discovered it is believed
he has murdered seven persons.
Miss Clawson came to Salt Lake from
Omaha seven years ago. She was
native of Sweden, and as far as known
had no relatives in this country, but she
had many friends here and was consid-
cred a good respectable girl.
Miss Samuelson was employed as a
nursery eoverness in a good family here,
and left her place to be married to the
preacher. She has an aunt and other
relatives living here, and was mem
ber of HernlannS church.
The church officers say that Hermann
was suspended recently for embeZZlins
church funds, confessed his guilt in
that regard and was waiting a hearing
before the annual Methodist Confer
ence. He was q fine looking man, and
very generally liked. He is represented
as having a great liking for the study OF
medicine. anatomy and kindred sub
iects. and often delivered disQuisitions
on the human form.
Photographs and descriptions of him
have been sent all over the country, but
so far the police here have no tidings OF
him. When he left Salt Lake on May
18th he purchased a ticket to Kansas
City.
