Chicago, May 18.—Quick death ended a meek holdup scene yesterday in the bakery of Henry Frank, 797 West Forty - Seventh street, The victim was Henry Frawley, 1$ years old, who had lived at ]009 West Fiftieth street. The man who fired the revolver [vas John Retell, a young Austrian employed hi the bakery. The one aet tragedy was enacted in the front room of the little bakery at 6 o'clock In the afternoon. Frawley, who was a teamster and a ateady, good na- tured young man, entered the place to buy a few things to take tome for sup- per. He had just been paid, and as he was well known iu the bakery he flour- ished a small package of bi11s---about $19. Hefeli, busy behind Ito counter, ex- changed joking remarks in broken Eng- lish with Frawley. He threatened to come out and take the money away from the young teamster if Frawley did not put it up. "Come ahead," said Frawley. "I can,. take care of myself;" After a few harmless threats Hefeli suddenly disappeared into a rear room. Steve Korscae, another young Austrian, was working there. "Let's hold Frawley up," said Beteli. "You take the money while 1 (mint the revolver at him. 11 will be a good joke." "All right," said Steve. Just as Frawley was about to leave with` his bundles, the two young Aue- trians sprang into the front room. In the true style of holdups he had read aloft€ Hefeli leveled the revolver at Frawley and shouted: "Hold up your hands or I will kill roe„ Frawley turned a laughing face to- ward the mock desperadoes: "You fellows can't scare me with a rusty old gun like that," he said, "Come on if you want trouble," He put down his bundles on the coun- ter and made it lunge toward Hefeli and Steve. In the play and flash of the moment, little dreaming that his finger held back a bullet by the pressure of a hair, Hefeli pulled the trigger. There was a local report, The little bakery was filed with smoke. Frawley dropped, Frank, the baker, curve rushing in. The; frightened men lifted the young teamster from the fluor, where a small trickle of blood showed his wound. Frawley could not speak. He was dying. The bullet had entered his chest. Befell and «Steve" stood stupidly by, hardly knowing what bad happened. When Sergte.'Mullaney and Golden, of the stockyards station, came upon the scene they arrested Heidi end his coin - rade. Frawley was put into the ambos lance and the horses were started on a gallop towards St. Barnard's leepital, On the way to the hospital, however, ' Frawley died" without a word passing Ms lips. The ambulance then wee turn- ed to McInerney'* undertaking rooms, 4,895 Wallace street. The police sergeants made a careful investigation of the ease, They found that Frawley and the two men they had under arrest were all of good character, and .they finally accepted the explana- tion of "accidental" to the true one. They will hold the two men, however, until the coroner's jury agrees upon a verdict. Hefeli at the police station was the picture of grief, As the full result of his act dawned upon him be bowed his head and wept. DROWNED IN LARDER LAKE.

PRIVATE CEMETERY. Tracing Mrs. Gunneas' Victims by Means of Bank Books. Ray Lamphere Denies That He Made a Confession. Laporte, Ind., May 18. -Unless the sifting and sluicing of the powdered debris taken front the cellar of the ruined thinness farmhouse results in startling discoveries to -day, the produc- tion of anything like tangible evidence in the big tragedy is not likely. Yea terday'a developments exhausted most of the sources of the sensations in the case, and the authorities are now con- fined to the tack of finding details cor- roborating the main points already de duced. Just how sue,cesstul they trill he will probably not be revealed until Hay Lam- phere is brought to trial. Prosecutor Smith has evidently modified his pre- view. determination to rush the case into coon, finding that the State's side may be Strengthened in many particulars. Coroner Mack has made public the re- sults of his investigations on all the known bodies, except that eupltosed to have boeu Ole 0. Buddsberg, of Iola, Wis. It is expected that the mystery surrounding the bodies yet unidentified will never be fully solved. The decom• posed state of the fragmentary masses of flesh and hones makes identification virtually impossible. What developments are to come prob- ably will be in the direction of estab- lishing the identity of more of the mys- terious neon seen to enter the farm• house, but never to leave ft. Yesterday three elicit pereons were connected with the Gunneas woman, the evidence re- garding John Moe, of Elbow Lake, Afinn., ansa Henry Gerholt, of Scandinavia, Wis., being almost conclusive, 'The fate of George Brady, of Tuscola., Ill,, is lees cer- tain. Moe was traced to the farm by means of the banking actions which preceded leis visit. The facts ahown were start- lingly similar to those brought to light in the cases of Ole 0. Bnddeberg and An. drew Helgeletn, Each of the men cached a cheque In the afternoon for n consider- able amount at one of the local banks, and at the dealt of the cashier all trails end. It is considered probable that an in• epection of the book, of the bagks would reveal further evidence of a similar nature. Made No Confession. Laporte, Ind„ May 18.—Mrs. Gunness' hired man, Ray Lamphere, vigorously denied to -dao that he had made any confession ortpromised any to Rev. A. E, Scheller, or to anyone else. Lamphere be under arrest here, charged with com• phieity in the wholesale murders at the Gunness if arm. Laporte, Ind., May13.—Rev, Dr. E, A. Schell, of Laporte, Id,. In talking again to -day about the Gunness farm tragedy, denied that he said that Ray Lamphere helped to kill the Gunneas children but had no part in slaying any man except Iielgelfn. 'I have made no statement regarding this or any detail of my inter• view with Lamphere, except to say that Larnphere's connuunications tome were wholly privileged bud unless he shall himself stake the e1a.tements to Prose- cuting Attorney Smith, will be maintain- ed ns an inviolable secret." Mr. Schell added that, like many otls, ers, he believed that Mrs. Gumless 'a0 alive, but that he had no linovledge of the fact. 11 was merely- his personal opinion. eking further concerning the case and some of the persons connected there- with, Mr. Schell said: "Mrs. thinness, as 1 aaid yesterday, was nn attractive woman in her way. She eves always dressed richly, and even, you might say, in good taste, but her manner of talking and her speech itself—her vagaries of grammar—showed a low origin. She 'could best be described as "Mrs. New - rich." "Lamphere is a man who drinks hard and has borne an unpleasant reputation. He was 0 man to be pitied because of his training, or lacier of it. On one or more occasions recentlyhe has cone into town with a roll of hilae, which Ise has generally nutnaged to get rid of over night. Lamphere sent for nig and told ane his story, and that is howl was mixed up in the ease. Despite the advice of his lawyers, 1 believe that he will tell the whole r toroth when he goes an the witness stand, I did not know per_ann• ally any of the suppose victims of ;Its.

MURDERED A FRIENDLESS BOY Arrest Made In Connection With Erindale Tragedy. Stephen Swyryda, a Pole, In Hands of Authorities. Efforts to Clear Up the Mystery of the Murder In Peel County, Toronto despatch: Within four days after lieksa imutick, a young Gillian, arrived in Toronto from Rotterdaan, Ise was taker[ out to a lonely spot near Erindale sad there oruelly unordered. Stephen Swyryda,, a Pole, 37 years of age, of this city, is now lodged in Bramp- ton jail on the charge of that murder, Provincial Detectives Miller and Greer Met night after the arrest of the for- eigner and after they hnd made much headway in the ease believed they were justified in directly charging the man with the foul murder int the bush on the farm of Samuel Fasken near the village of Erindale, in the county of Peel, on the night before Good Friday. Pollee in- vestigation pointe to the victim having been taken out front this city by way of the Port Credit electric ears under the impression that work was to be found for him with a farther by the man now under arreat. The young mase found dead left Toronto about 6 o'clock on the evening before Good Fri- day in compauy with the prisoner, who returned the next day alone and saying he had pfaoed Loutick with a farmer near Clarkson. The prisoner still sticks to this story, although Ise has in important partieinlars carted his state- ment and cannot give any idea 00 to the situation of tate farm where he took the victim of the murder. Provincial Deteotive Miller upon Isis return to the city last tight from Brampton, where he went with Provincial Detective Greer and High Constable Brody, of Brampton, to lodge the prisoner in jail, went to w•oik again here to get together a strong chain of evidence which the officers believe will go a long way to- wards clearing up the mystery which clouded the murder of lieksa. Loutick in the Peel county bash on the night of April 16. Found the Murdered Man. It ie just a week ago last Sunday since three little boys came across the body of Loutick lying in the beak on the faros of Satauel Fasken. Every- thing pointed to a foul murder hav- ing been committed, and the autopsy conducted bore out the theory of the police officers that the mau'a skull had been crushed in by a blow with a heavy piece of wood which bare tram.. of blood and which was found net far from the dead body. It appeared a bonfire had been started hs the bush, and a whiskey flask as well as some beer bottiee showed there had been some drinking. A valuable clue was furnlehed the police officers in two receipt checks issued on the electric railway for passage from Sunatyeide to Port Credit. '.(hese virtually fixed the date of the murder as about April 16, and a slip with the name of iib, D. Davis, the labor contractor at 117 Front street west, led do the identity of the victim, Lottick, who was but seventeen years of age, was sent to Canada via Rotterdam to work on the Grand :Drunk Railway contitruction, As there was no work just then, and as the young meat was not a likely fel- low, .bir. Davis advised him to seek employment elsewhere, , Victim Had Ne Money, Being practically without funds, he slept in the police cells for two nighte, and the third day, the police say, he fell in with the prisoner, who listened to the new arrival's story of hard luck, azul invited hint to his lodging house at 189 Adelaide street west, kept by Ste- phen Vasllinlax. Two nights they slept together, and about 5 o'clock on the evening before Good Friday started out, ostensibly to look for work on a farm, Lontick parted with his concertina to the lodginp house keener for one dollar. The next day the prisoner returned to that place, saying he had placed Loutick and another with a fernier who had gni; en him 11,75. A dollar of this the prig: oter paid the lodging house man on a bill for tobacco and room rent, which he owed. These facts are all admitted by the prisoner, who claims he will be able to point out the farm. Pore is Arrested. Provincial Detectives Miller and Greer and High Constable Brody, of Brampton, were yesterday led to the I'odging house and to the room occupied by the pris- oner by a Pole who assisted the author- ities in the investigation, The foreigner entered'into the case on Saturday last, and yesterday he was back with all the information upon which the arrest was made, Provincial Detective Miller slipped into the mans room yesterday morning, and found ]tint just rolling out of bed, Taking all the necessary precautions to see that the suspect was not armed, the officer searched the room and discover- ed what is said to be an important bit of evidence. On his arrival here Loutick had in his valise some matches of strange manu- facture, and some of these were found with the prisoner. Other articles were picked up in the roots, and an effort will be trade to show that some of these things belonged to Loutiek, and were stolen from his valise, which was pick- ed up on the Fasken farm by the hired man and afterwards destroyed. This valise ssn o found had a hole cut in the bottom. Story Ted By Prisoner, ,• '11,, prisoner was taken to the Court ehrcf suction, and afterwards 10Bramp- ton, \there he was remanded 00 the cliorgo of murder by Magistrate H, H. Shaver, of Toronto Toutlship, for a week. On the way to ilrnmpl011 in Irok- on English the prisoner freely discussed the death of the lad, and said that Lou - tisk had fallen in with some Jews, Ivhorn he describe. Ile, however, stuck to his story that he had placed Loutbk with a farmer. The prisoner took his arrest coolly, and on the journey to Brampton puffed away at cigarettes furnished hint. lie claimed to be 37 year's 01 age, and said he eaane from Rochester last March A svotaan who claims to be his wife join- ed him lore a few days ago, end it was from her he neserts that he received tie found on him.

To -day Provincial Detective Miller will prepare for the inquest to be held to -morrow 0 Erindale by Coroner Sut- ton, of Cookeville. A statement ham been taken from Mrs. George Manley, of the upper Middle road, who live* adjoining the Fasken farm, and who eaw two mer jaunt about dusk near the en- trance to the bush. One hada light coat and, it is clamed, a garment answering this description was found at the prie- oner's room. Blood stains are also said to be noticeable on the coat. Probably the most important. witness in the case is a C, P. R. fireman, who noticed a man on the morning after the erinne is said to have been committed washing his hands and clothing in a pool beside the tracks, On his return journey the fireman eau the same, man walking into the city on the railway tracks, A verdict in the inquest is ex- pected to be, reached at the sitting to- morrow afternoon. LONDON MURDER. Murderer Moir No Longer a Soldier of the King. Has Seen Muck Service—Where He Comes From. London despatch: Murderer Moir will be committed for trial following his pre- liminary hearing, and will likely come up to answer perhaps with .his life at Gte aesirea in September. It was stated yesterday morning that the young soldier was eubject to epilep- tic fits, end that it was likely that thin would be made a factor in his defence .Sergoaaat Gilmore, of Wobselsy Bar - ranks, who was one of the party of lo- cal ,police wdro were put on the chase for the soldier, had an interview with the prisoner in his cell at the pollee sta- tion this morning. Moir was struck off the strength of Wolseley Barracks as n deserter on Sat; urday, and Gilmore informed Mob of this, asking hint what lout of his ef- feet, he wanted sent to him. The soldier naked to bate all of his civilian outfit brought down to him, to- gether with his personal et tents and hfs trunk. His request will be complied with. The story w08 told yesterday that when Mr, Charles Robb went to Elora to notify the police of Moira presence, he asked Constable Blaeklook that if ft was the right man how much of the re- ward would he secure. He was told that he would got half of it. Meanwhile another man ,bed approach- ed Chief Farrell, of Arthur, and nude the came proposition. Farrell agreed to give hien a piece cf the money, and so it will be divide. Mohr is to be treated in a little differ- ent manner front the other prisoners as the authorities recognize that bheyaave a desperate man to deal with, a.nd do not propoee to give him any opportunity to cause trouble, There is no cell espe- cially sat aside for those charms with murder in the 'ail, but Cull No, I is usu- ally occupied by any desperate charac- ters, as it is neer the kitohen, where the nlghtwatchman makes his headquarters daring the night, This enables the guard to look especially after the safety of the man imprismted in this cell. It is not the intention to allow Moir to atingle with the other prisoners at all, nor will he be given his exerofee in the yard used by the other prisoners, as this yard can be overlooked. and it is thought were Moir allowed in there a crowd might congregate to overlook the man, The man will therefore take his exerclse in the yard on the scuttle aide of the jail, which ie completely screened from observation, Moir was born in Roxburghehire Scotland. When only 18 years of age he enlisted with the Gordon Highlanders fora period of amen yearn. After serv- ing five years he scan granted his dile charge on account of good service. He then went to Glasgow, where be spent six months in the gymnitsft0ln thee, re- ceiving a certifient0 from that institu- ttor as an all-round athlete. When the Boer war broke ort.

He sow nets\e service, being one of those at Bloemfontein. -after tate dose of the war he went .til India, where be served on the Indian frontier. hour years ago he came to Canada, He went first to Guelph, where he worked for six months on n farm there end later put in six months at one of the factories, From there lie went to Lrtnsdowvne, where he spent two years. Six menthe ego he enlisted at Wolseley llnreeks, London, and stayed there till the shooting. "I never hod trouble with Lloyd," de- clared Moir, brokenly, "We were good friends, and I have no enemy in the world that I know of."
