The Morris plant is located near the
channel of the Kaw river and being in
the center of the flood district is In a
swift current of water from to feet

of fighting the fire most difficult, and It
required five hours to place the flames
under control. For time the entire
plant seemed doomed. Fire apparatus
was transported to the scene after
much delay by means of fiat cars. There
were so men in the plant when the
explosions occurred, but all except four
escaped.
Two of these were instantly killed
and two others badly mangled.

B|LLEK ESCAPES
GALLONS AGAIN
Judge Lands Grants an Appeal
From His Decision Refusing a
Writ of Habeas Corpus.
NEAR EXECUTION THREE TIMES
Convicted of Poisoning 10 Death Mary
Nzral and Accused of Causing Death
OF, Five Members of Family.

Chicago, June 12.-Herman Billek.
the Bohemian fortune teller condemn
ed to death for the murder of five
members of the Vzral family. was to-
day granted stay of execution until
he has been afforded an opportunity
to appeal his case to the supreme
court. Judge Lands OF the u. $. dis
trict court. who yesterday declined to
grant writ of habeas corpus in favor
of Billek. decided that the prisoner
had the right to appeal from his de-
cision denying the writ. The case will
now be carried to the higher federal
tribunal and Billek will be given res
pite until that body has passed upon
the constltutionality of the question in
volved,
Although it had been agreed be-
tween Judge Lands of the federal
court, and the sheriff of Cook county
that the execution of Billek should not
take place until the court had passed
upon the right of Billek to appeal
from the decision of Judge Lands in
refusing TO grant writ of habeas cor
pus, a tremendous crowd gathered
around the jail at an early hour. A
detail Of policemen was constantly em-
ployed in keeping the throng moving.
Herman Billek, a Bohemian fortune
teller. was tried and convicted of
poisoning to death Mary Vzral. 90
years of age, and was accused of di-
rectly causing the death of five other
members of the Vzral family. Mrs.
Rose Vzral, the mother of Mary Vzral
committed suicide when she was ar
rested as an accomplish of Billek The
deaths in the Vzral family all occurred
within period of two years.
The testimony ut the trial, which
was held before Judge a. q. Barnes,
showed that Billek went to the VZral
residence with his alleged charms and
a remarkable series of deaths follow
ed. The alleged motive was the life
insurance money in each case. the
amount varying from 500 to 1926. As
the result of the trial, Billeks punish
ment was fixed at death Since then,
he has been within the shadow of the
gallows three times besides today; the
first date for the hanging had been
fixed as Oct. IL, 1907. and the other
dates were Nov. s, 1907. and April 20,
1908.
The postponements sin each case
were to permit further investigation, II
having been charged that Billek's con-
viction was the result of perJured tes-
timony due 10 suggestion and intimida-
ton on the part of the prosecuting at
torneys and the police. This charge
was made through the pulpit of st.
Mary's church. by the Rev. p. ].
O'Callaghan, superior of the Paulist
fathers In this city. Principally
through the efforts OF Father O'Cal-
laghan an affidavit was recently made
by one of the principal witnesses
against Billek, Jerry Vzral IS years
OF age, a survivor of the Vzral family.
that testimony against Billek by affl-
ant was wholly untrue.
