always has said he does not even know
where the hotel was located. He lived
in Hoboken, having come over from
Germany in the old North German
Lloyd liner Elbe, which was wrecked
off Samoa.
Two years after he went to Sing Sing
he resolved 10 escape. lie worked IN
the clothing shop and helped ship
clothes TO other prisons. lie and an
other man made a packing box, with a
hinged door. The plan was for both to
get inside and slip out of the box as
il was driven with others 10 the rail-
way station at Ossining. The other
man lost courage at the last minute.
Boehmann got inside the box. He was
discovered at the railway station and
taken out at the point Of revolver.
Warden Sage locked Boehmann in a
cell because he would not reveal his
accomplice's name. He was given
three opportunities, but he always re-
fused. lie remained constantly in the
cell until Warden Johnson took charge
Of the prison. The accomplice is dead
now. His name was Felix Balmer.
Boehmann has friends on the outside
of the prison. One has given him en-
ployment in Long Island village,

strong years he has still ahead OF him
He has friends in the prison, too. He
said yesterday:

Boehmann came out Of prison with

him twenty years 10 earn that sum,

, With all my heart I am thankful for

Mrs. Hicks, WHO is a frail little
woman, the mother of three strapping
babies. hurried to town in time to bid
her husband goodby. She is now en-
gagged in strengthening out Hicks's
meagre printing business, which even
with his careful attention earned his
family only bare sustenance.
Anthony Comstock, who was respon-
sible for Hicks's original conviction for
illegal use of the mails, said he hoped
the man would be pardoned.

While Robert Hicks is in a cell at
Blackwel's Island in atonement for a
crime he committed thirteen years ago,
his friends are engaged in getting ma
terial together which they hope, when
submitted to President Wilson. VIII
win pardon for the reformed man.
When the formal blanks are hlled
out and a petition signed by many MIN
listers and persons influential at Wash
ington is prepared, the Rev. Or. j. II.
Hallimond, an associate of HICKS at
the Bowery Mission, will go TO Wash
ington and ask the President Tor
pardon.
Hicks's friends at the mission, are
confident that he will be pardoned. Il
feel sure the President will recognize
the sincerity Of this good Christian,
said James T. Hunt, manager OF the
mission. His action in giving himself
up is the most unqualified answer TO
the call of a relentless conscience that
| have ever met with IN my religious
work"
Although his wife and three little
children did not know he intended 10
surrender to the authorities, Hicks had
not planned his step on the spur OF the
moment. He reached the decision only
after long contemplation.
His wife was visiting relatives up
state when he gave himself up. she
knew nothing of his decision until she
received the following letter:
God is lifting the awful load, the
load that was crushing me spiritually
and otherwise. Emerging from the
darkness into Gods pure sunlight, !

night made an address at the Bowery
Mission 10 over 500 men. God was with

God for having a talk with Mr.. COM

years ago when he became estranged
from his family. lie was employed as
a bookkeeper by the New York Edison
Company.
Mrs. Kuhlan. who was summoned to
the Arsenal police station, where her
daughters body was taken, said she
knew Hussenius: that he had courted
Anna for two years, and had previously
known her in Sweden. She added that
he was a cheap apprentice. not in any
way the equal of her daughter, and
that she had refused to consent TO
their marriage. She secuted the idea
that the girl had been a party to any
death pact. as did her twenty-year-old
daughter Sonia, who asserted Hussenlus
was a murderer.

Reputed Son of NObleman
and Brooklyn Fiancee
Victims in Tragedy.
ROAM PARK ALL NIGHT
THEY DIE AT DAWN
"Temperamental and Hypersen'
sitive Calamity Bound to DC.
cur" Is Explanation in Note.

Just as the first light of a new day
filtered through the leaves of the trees
in Central Park yesterday morning
Frederick Hussenius, believed to be the
son of a swedish nobieman, placed the
muZzle Of an automatic revolver TO the
heart of his fancee and pulled the
trigger twice. She died instantly. Then
he turned the weapon TO his own
temple, and in an hour he, too, was
dead.
The double tragedy bore all indica-
tons of being the elimination of a
carefully planned death pact. The girl,
Anna Malmquist, daughter of Mrs Ebba
Kuhlan, of 532 Carlton Avenue, Brook
Ign, was a talented musician. Hussenius,
whose real identity is a mystery, was
educated at a Danish university, and
was a clever linguist. Objection to
their marriage BY the mother of the
girl is believed TO have caused the two
deaths.
Patrolman John Flaherty, Of the
Arsenal police station, was on the West
Drive, near the Sixty-fourth Street en-
trance, at $3.50, when he heard two re-
vover shots. He ran across the lawn
to a spot about 200 feet from the drive
and found the couple under linden
tree. Hussenius was hurried to Flower
Hospital, but died without regaining
consciousness.
Went to Death with Joy.
Two remarkable letters, found in the
mans pockets, revealed the identity Of
the couple. The longest was addressed
to Ludwig Norman, of 1881 East Eigh-
teenth Street, Flatbush, whose wife is
a sister of Lillian Walker, the moving
picture actress. 1t read:

COWPEAS AND SOy &
 BEANS FOR FORAGE
ALL VARIETIES PRODUCE HEAVY
 YIELDS IN STATE - EXPERi- MENTS AT FAYET TEVlLLE
 SHOW THEM GOOD INVESTMENT

Among the crops that can be sub stituted for cotton, none is more gen elally practicable than cowpeas and
 oy beans. Both crops are extremely we'll adapted to the soils and climate of Arkansas Both are fairly certain 10 produce good yields of highly nu- fitious forage and grain.
 A rule cowpeas will do better on poorer soils than soy beans. The soy beans perhaps, have q alight advantage in withstanding drought Cowpeas have an advantage in that they continue their growth UT. nl frost, whereas soy beans must be harvested at a certain time or the 5edycs fall off
 Cowpeas, usually produce a larger yield of forage than most varieties of soy beans, but not so much grain Late varieties of soy beans, however. are high yielders of forage, but do not produce much grain Cowpea varie-
