YlLLAINOUS DEGENERATES.

Two Young Men Confess the Cold
bIooded Murder OF Former SCHOOL,
mate-A Shocking Deed.
CHICAGO, Sept. l.-Richard Hoeneck
and Herman Hundhausen to-day made
sworn confessions to the murder OF
Walter F. Koeller, their former school
mate. According to the confessions,
revenge was the motive OF both, Hoe
neck, who did the stahhing for an al
legged part KoelIer's father took in the
street murder OF HOenecl's brother
thirteen years ago, in Herman, NO.,
and for testimony given against Hoe
neck by Koeller when the former was
on trial for arson; Hundhausen for
some fancied slight, while at school
with Koeller at Dixon, Ill.
The confession was secured by Detec-
tive BraZor, who was locked up IN
the cell with Hundhausen last night,
on pretended charge Of highway rob
berry, and to whom HundhRusen finally
admitted the crime, as did Hoeneck
According to the confessions, II was the
original Intention to kill both Walter
Koeller and his brother George, who Is
station agent at Oakley avenue, for the
Chicago & Northwestern railway, near
which place Walter boarded. Saturday
evening they went to Roeller's boarding
house.
'Hundhausen knocked on Koeller's
door," said Hoeneck. ''ft was dark,
and when spoke to Walter he, was
lying on the bed. He recognized my
voice, and spoke to me, at the same
time getting up and pulling on his trou-
sers. He then 1T a match and held It
up to light the gas. Just as he did 30 I
came up behind him and put one arm
around the neck. Then stabbed him
under his upllfted arm"
How many times2" asked the chief
of police.
Just how many. He cried murder-not
very loud, because the knife had gone
deep. Then he fell to the floor"
Hoeneck, to make sure Of his work,
stabbed him again. AS they left the
premises, Hundhausen warned his
companion TO hide the bloody knife,
which he still held In his hand, and
HOeneck put It under his coat until
their room was reached, when 1t was
thrown into vallse, with their revol-
Vers and cartridge belts. Boarding a
street car they went to Grand Crossing,

intention to go to Baltimore, and from
there take a cattle steamer to Europe
and ultimately to South Africa, II pos
sible.
"Whicheve. got the chance was to
do the killing" said Hundhausen. II
had my knife ready, but Richard was
nearer to Koeller and got the first
chance"
Hoeneck expressed sorrow for what
he had done. Hundhausen, however,
is apparently indifferent.
Both prisoners admit their ideas OF
adventure were inspired by reading
dime novels, and several of these, to-
Eether with revolvers, bowie knives
and one or two obscene pictures were
found in their vallse. The police say
both Hundhausen and Hoeneck are
perfect types OF degenerates, and be-
iIeve that dime novel reading had more
to do with the crime than the desire
for revenge.

Committee.

The resolutions were ndopted unnni-
mously. and after their adoption Presi-
dent Hlldreth called for remarks, DR..
Jepson was the first speaker, and said
that he had known DR.. Hazlett for over
thirty years. In all these years. DR..
Hazlett had never shown himself other
than gentleman. Along this line DR..
Jepson paid the deceased eloquent trib-
ute. In his profession DR.. Hazlett
was among the best, and had he con-
fined his talents strictly to the practice
OF medicine he would have shone pc
cullarly brilliant. He was n consclen-
tious, palnstalSlng and careful practI-
toner. He was digniHed and courtly
in manner, possessing u distinguished
appearance, and the appearance was
borne out by the man. He was, in short,
hlgh-mlnded and honorable man, in
his private and public career, and pre-
served intact, strictly so, the ethics Of
his profession.
Continuing, DR.. Jepson said DR.. Haz-
lett was a publlc-spIrited citizen. He
served on the board OF education, on
the city charter commission, and in
similar capacities. The speaker con-
cluded with the remark that he would
always consider It an honor to have en-
toyed the association OF such a man.
DR.. L. D. Wilson thought 1t was a
pretty custom of the doctors gathering
to pay respects to q departed practl-
toner. DR.. Wilson spoke Of DR.. Haz-
lett's faithfulness to the profession, al
ludlng to his regular Rttendances. often
with sacrifices to himself, at the meet
ings Of the Ohio County Medical soel-
ETY.. His loss would be deeply felt by
the society.
The next speaker was DR.. ulrIoh'
who had known Or. Hnzlett for TWEEN
ty-four years, and he agreed with DR..
Jepson's sentiments. Or. Hazlett, he
said, was man OF broad mind; OF
great mental capacity and extensive
literary nttalnments. Dr. Ulrich en-
joyed his friendship. and he referred to
DR.. Haziett's deep interest In the pro-
fesslon, which lost one of Its luminaries
in his death.
pr. Dlckey paid clear cut tributes to
the deceased. In literature and art.
DR.. Hazlett possessed artistic taste.
He was eloquent, and had n flow of
the best Language. He wrote prose
and verse, not for publication, but for
bIs own amusement. Until his death.
inter the three score and ten, even un-
M he fell into "the last dreamless
sleep" he retained his mental facul-
tles. It could be said OF him that he
wns "an honest man. the noblcst work
az God" He was courtly courteous,
gentle, and possessing the finer qualities
OF mind; punctlllous and active In all
his cnsagcments. He was happy in
his domestic connections. The COM
munIty, ns well as the medical profess
sion, suffered a great loss in his death.

The Ohio County Medical Society met
last night at the board of education's
rooms, in the Hub building, to take ac-
tion on the death Of DR.. Robert W.
Hazlett, a pioneer member, and one of
the most esteemed. There was a rep
resentative attendance. Appropriate
resolutions were drafted. and testimOn-
ials Of regret at DR.. Haslett's demise
and in praise of his personality, were
otherwise voiced. The presiding ON
Ger was DR.. Eugene Hildreth, president
Of the society.
Among those present we're: Drs. ]. L.

President Hlldreth called the meeting
to order, stating its purpose. He sug-
gested suitable remarks, while a COM
mIttee retired to draft resolutions. This
committee consisted of Drs. L. D. Will
son, Dickey and Jepson. The remarks
were not made in the interim, and the
committee returned with the follow
Ing set of resolutions:
In the death OF DR.. Robert ". Hazlett,
for forty-flve years practitioner Of medl.
cine in this city, the profession has lost
one Of Its oldest, most accomplished ana
most honorable members. In inteluBence'
carefulneSB and skill he has always
ranked among the very best. Studious In
his habits, dignifed and geRtlemanly ~
manner, painstaking and attentive IN the
sick-room, courteous and honorable IN
nll his relations with his brethren, he at
tracted to himself the best Of our people,
Inspired the confidence OF his patients, and
won the admiration and esteem OF his
professional brothers. Always careful OF
the dignity and honor OF his chosen pro-
fession, he frowned upon any conduct in
others thnt savored OF dishonesty, and the
Golden Rule was the guide OF his whole
professional life.
As a natural and most fitting result Of
scch a lie and character, the profession
OF both his city and the state delighted
to bestow upon DR.. HnZlett its greatest
honors; but in so doing the profession con-
ferTed no greater honor upon him than
has he, by his pure lie, his honorable
career, and his noble example conferred
upon the profession.
Resolved, That in paying this last mark
OF respect to his memory, we commend
the record OF his life and work TO the emu
lation OF all who would strive after pure
and lofty ideals.
Resolved, That we realize that We can
do little to soften the grief OF the here1Ved
family. and can only tender TO them our
slncerest sympathy.
Resolved, That n copy Of these resolu-
tIons be sent TO the family, and that they
be published In the daily papers; -
