SAYS STUDENTS COUSIN.
Physfcian Denounces Members of
baltimore Greek Letter Fraterni-
ty Who Participated in Affair.

New York. Nov. 10.-Doctor Leopold
airschmann Of this city, a cousin of
Martin Loewe. a medical student, whose
death occurred recently at Baltimore
soon after his initiation into a Greek-let-
ter fraternity. says he has received de-
tails Of the affair from a fellow-student.
The latter declared that when Loewe
went to the fraternity hall to take he
first degree, he was met by twenty-five
men. He was told to undress, and, after
doing so, vas blindfolded and taken into
a room, where he was laid upon a cake
OF ice. He was then carried r~.stairs to
the balcony n thrown over the rail, a
drop of twenty-five feet.
On he floor beneath stood students
holding a sheet.
When Loewe fell into this" said the
doctor. "he was tossed up and down until
he was unconscious. After being revived
he was beaten until his body was a mass
OF bruises.
THAT night he was in such a wretched
condition that his roommate stayed up all
night with him. Whisky and quinine were
given him during the night. and in the
morning he felt relieved. The following
Saturday he took the second degree. In
the morning he was found dead and his
chum. who had just taken the first de-
gree, was in a serious condition.
The guilty ones should be sent to the
gallows. They are murderers."
