"FVIL EYE" DID NOT
SAVE MURDERER
BiIIek Pays Penalty of
Wholesale Slaughter.

CHICAGO, OCTOBER 1I.-tSpec1dD-
Herman Billek, Bohemian fortune-tell-
err, hypnotist and necromancer, con-
victed of poisoning Mrs. Mary Vrzal
and charged with causing the death
of four other members of the Vrzal
family, will pay the penalty of his
crimes on the gallows today.
The evil eye" which Billek was
said to have exerted enabled him
to live in luxury with
out working, has had no effect in
turning aside the stern mandate of
the law. While there is a possibility
that a stay may be granted to prevent
the execution tomorrow, the evidence
His trial of death is as grisly as
vinsing that his execution, sooner OF
later, is considered certain.
after his arrival here he became ac-
that of Holmes, the multi-murderer
and 'Bluebeard" Hoch, the merciless
slayer of women; and neither of
these performed their deeds in as
grisly a setting as did the Bohemian
magician
Billek was born in Bohemia about
forty years ago, the son of a wander
ing fortune teller. He came to Chi
cago several years ago and establish
ed himself in the profession that had
been followed by his mother Shortly
dairy and by hard work had accumu-
quainted with the Erzals Martin
Vrzal was the proprietor of small
Billek so worked on the superstitious
lated a few thousand dollars. Mrs
Vrzal helped him in the business, as
did the seven children, and the family
was considered the most prosperous
and happy in Chicago's Bohemia.
Then came the serpent, in the form
of the dark, mysterious, magnetic
Billek. 1t is supposed that Billek
heard of the savings of Vrzals, and
coveted them for his own. Mrs.
Vrzal soon come under the spell of
Billek, and Vrzal for a time looked
upon him with favor He loaned Bill
lex much money. Then, when he re
fused longer to comply with the for
tune teller's eXactions, Martin Vrzal
died, suddenly and inexplicably. The
$4,000 insurance on his life, it is al
legged, was secured by Billek from the
widow
Deaths followed in the Vrzal fam
lily in quick succession. Following
the fathers death on March 81, 1905,
Mary Vrzal, aged %, died July % and
Tillie, 20, on December % of the
same year Rose, the Is year old
daughter, died August 26, 1906, and
Ella, II, on November 80.
During all this time, it is alleged,
died under mysterious and suspicious
fears of Mrs. Vzral that she gave to
him every cent she could collect from
the life insurance of the victims, the
milk business and the sale of the
family home, living herself in the
direst poverty that the magician might
enjoy every luxury. Then, when she
had nothing left to give, Mrs. Vrzal

Billek, at the trial and since, has
steadfastly maintained his innocence
despite the apparently perfect web OF
circumstantial evidence that has been
woven about him.
