FEAR STRIKES HENS
DUMB ON GALLONS
Continued From First Page.

Mrs. HOLSTER, who was handsome
woman and prominent in both church
and social circles on the north side Of
the city, left her home on, the morning
with the intention of carrying some
flowers to the funeral of friend. She
purchased the flowers, called at gro
Gerry store and performed several small
errands in the vicinity of her home,
but did not appear at the funeral, nor
was she again seen alive by any Of her
friends.
ss~.s Murderer Reports Death. ..-as.t
The following morning. Richard
Ivens, who lived at 1865 North Halsted
street, reported to his father that the
body of a woman was lying on a pile
of refuse in the rear of their barn.
Mr.. Ivens at once informed the police,
and the body, which was at once identi-
fed as that of Mrs. Hollister, was taken
| to her home.
The clothing of the victim was torn
and disarranged, and she had evidently
made desperate fight before being
twisted a slender copper wire, and
marks Of pressure were visible on 9th.
er parts of the throat. She was evil
IDENTIFY strapgled to death after being
maltreated in the most vicious manner.
| Conduct Arouses Suspicion.
The conduct Of Ivens aroused the sus-
picion of the police officers, and he
was taken into custody and charged
with the crime. He at first denied his
guilt. but within three hours of his ar.
rest made a full confession to the Of.
fcers. This confession he later re-
peated at the inquest, in the presence
! of the coroner, and on another occasion
to the states attorney.
He went into the shocking details Of
the crime in a cold-blooded fashion that
aroused intense popular indignation.
When arraigned for trial Ivens denied
his guilt and claimed that he had been
forced to confess by the police. His
defense was an alibi, and the claim
that he had made the confessions under
hypnotic suggestion.
Application to the supreme court for
a stay of proceedings and to the gov
ernor and the board Of pardons was in
vain, and his sentence was carried into
effect ON the date originally set by
the jury at the conclusion of his trial.
