-four YOUTHS MUST
| HANG FOR MURDER
Brutal Staying Of DefenseIess
Gardener by Mere Boys is
to Be Punished

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Dec. 21.-The first
quadruple execution that has taken
place in Chicago since the Haymar-
ket anarchists died on the gallows in
the late eighties is scheduled to take
place tomorrow morning in the Cook
County jail-yard. The four men, or
rather youths, who are destined for
death by the moose unless an elev-
enth-hour respite is granted are
Ewald and Frank Shiblawski, broth
ers, and Philip Sommerling and
Thomas Schultz. The youngest of
the quartette is Is years of age and
the Oldest is scarcely out of his teens.
The crime for which the four were
condemned to death was the brutal
murder of truck farmer named
Guelzow on the outskirts of the city
early last October. The man was
driving a wagon full of garden pro-
duce when the boys set on him for
the purpose of robbery. The boys
were armed with aclub, knife, re-
yolver and hammer When the vic
tim alighted from his wagon he was
struck down with cub. He plead
ed for his life on his knees, offering
the boys all his possessions, because
he had wife and baby a month old
at home, but the answer of the
youths was to beat him into uncon-
seriousness. Then he was stabbed
four times and was dead when found.
Three of the boys were arrested a
few hours later while they were try
ing to sell the farmers team to a
horse trader. At that time the po-
lice did not know there had been a
murder committed, having arrested
the boys as horse thieves. Later
the prisoners confessed and implicat-
ed the other defendants Their trial
and conviction followed within little
more than month. Two other
boys, each sixteen years old, were
implicated in the murder. On ac-
count of their youth the two escaped
the death sentence and are now
serving life terms in prison.
