BATTERED TO PULP.
Benz. Lang Of Boston, Bru-
tally Murders His Wife.
InsaneIy Jealous Of Her--Tries to Es-
cape But Is Captured.
Keeper Holland Badly Beaten by Escaping
Prisoners at Rutland VI.

Boston. June 27.-Benjamin Lang, 81
years Of age, the owner and occupant
Of "A house at 90 Waltham street, killed
his wife, Clara +. Lang with an axe,
some time between and o'clock this
morning. The aged murderer has for
long time been Respondent and it is
thought he committed the deed While in
a fit OF mental alteration.
The body of Mrs Lang was found by
a servant, Della Harmon, soon after
o'clock this morning. 1t was lying in
a perfectly natural position which in
dictated that the fatal blows were
struck while the woman was asleep,
and that death followed so quickly that
the victim did not regain consciousness,
Of even move. A common wood-cut-
ting axe was used by Mr.. Lang in the
assault. the skull being laid open with
the sharp edge of the axe and then
pounded almost TO a jelly with the
blunt end.
1t is said that for a long time Mr..
Lang had been insancly jealous of his
wife, who was nearly 80 years his
junior. and that less than a week ago
the couple had a quarrel because Of the
wish Of Mrs. Lang to attend "A picnic.
Her husband did not wish her TO so and
finally the woman promised him that
she would remain at home. Since that
time Mr.. Lang has shown that he was
suffering from what his friends termed
the blues and it was thought he
feared that, Notwithstanding the prom
Use made him by his wife. she would
slip away on the day Of the picnic with
out his knowledge.
1t il thought probable that the ola
man brooded over this day on which the
picnic was to take place and that in or
der to prevent his wife from going. had
taken this method.
The crime was discovered by the ser
want going into the bed room to arouse
Mrs. Lang. She had knocked several
times at the door without any response.
and began to be alarmed. She consult
ed with Mrs. Sweet. a ledger, who told
her she thought the old man was act
ing rather strangely as she heard him
moving around since an early hour this
morning.
After much persuasion, the girl enter
ed the room by way of the front parlor
which adjoins the bedroom. the two
rooms being separated by folding doors
Mr.. Lang was nowhere to be found,
and Mrs. Lang seemed to be in bed
with a sheet thrown over her head. On
turning down the sheet 4 dreadful
sight presented itself. The womans
head had been completely battered to
a pulp.
Search was made for Lang. and it
was found that he had locked himself
in the servants bedroom. An alarm
was sent out, and when
the police responded and broke open
the door, Lang was trying to get out of
a small window, but was not success
full. He VS. taken to Station 5, where
he was questioned. The old man SEEM
ed to be so feeble that he tottered in
his walk. and his answers We're vague
and incoherent. He will be arraigned
in the police court, tomorrow.
