HERMIT TORTURED AND MURDERED BECAUSE HE
COULD NOT GIVE HIGHWA YNNEN FABLED WEALTH

Cleveland, O., April 12.-Because
Jacob Won Gunten, sixty, lived her
nit life in a little house on Iinndale
turnpike, everybody thought he had u
lot of money. Nobody knew that he
had; he denied 1t. and SO did his mar
ried daughter.
Whether the hermit had a hoard
won't be known now unless Sheriff
Hirstius catches the men who put him
to torture and murdered him on the
night of April 8. For this gossip about
secret gold put him to a painful death.
He was found dead, bound with ropes
at hands and feet. his body covered
with shallow cuts where, the murder
ers' knives had chipped his shrinking
skin to make him tell.
Gagged, helpless, possibly wishing
vainly he had hermit's store Of
wealth to satisfy his prosecutors, Won
Gunten's silence angered the thieves
so that they first slashed the palms
of his hands and then crushed his head
with an ak and a carpenters mallet.
Won Gunten's body, the feet bound
together, the arms bound tightly 10
each leg with ropes and a towel tied
around the head and over the mouth
for a gag, was found lying in the cell
lar of his home beside table on
which he had apparently been prepar-
ing breakfast.
The murderers, believed by Sheriff
Hirstius to have been surprised by
Won Gunten in the act Of ransacklnS
his bedroom, seem to have struck Won
Gunten time and again after he was
bound and unconscious. When the
body was found 1t was covered with
blood. The left hand was nearly sew
cred by a blow from the ak.
Although there was absolutely no
clue to the identity of the murderers.
