Chil dren's day iii. the Criminal Court was fraught with tragedy today. Anton Bemls, Jr., 19 years old, and Rose Bemls, 13 years old, sent their father to the gal lows for the murder of their mother. An other child, Tony Fog Mo, 14 years old, was found guilty of assisting bis father In a murder and sent to the Reform School. During the days that Anton Bemls has been on trial In Judge Kersten's Court for the murder of his wife at their home, 741 Morgan street, on the evening of March 2, his children have been the strongest witnesses against him. The little daughter told how the father fre quently had beaten her mother and that only a week previous to the murder the police had been appealed - to for protec tion, 'ine child said he left home and did not return until the night of the murder. Girl's Account of Murder. "Father drew a revolver and shot mother," the girl affirmed. "Mother fell and I ran to pick her up, but father shot gain. I dragged her out in the hall and closed the door, so father couldn't get her. Then 1 dragged her to the yard, but she couldn't stand up." The boy testified that his father was almost continually intoxicated, and acted strangely. Bemis testified that 27 years ago his head was injured and that thereafter he drank to ease the pain. He said that on the day of the murder he started drink ing at 9 o'clock In the morning and had no recollection of subsequent events until he was arrested late at night. Five ballots were necessary before the Jury agreed on a verdict of death in pre ference to one of life imprisonment. A motion for a new trial will be argued next week. Boy Convicted of Murder.
