AN AWFUL DEED
ORIENT FARMER'S WIFE DELIBER
ATELY SETS CLOTHES ON FIRE.
Woman Suffered With Melancholia and
Suicided Whan Tempor
ary Inaan.
Mrs. Lena Charlotte Hemmers, aged
S9, living at Orient, In Eastern Multno
mah County, saturated herself with ker
osene early yesterday morning and burn
ed herself to death, reported Monday's
Oregonlan. She went out from her home
In the middle of the night, when her
husband was asleep and her stepson at a
dance, and building a bonfire In a cabbage
patch. Ignited her clothing from that
and was dead for many hours before
she was even mlased. She was found.
her clothes all consumed and her body
charred, by her old and feeble husband,
at 10 o'clock In the morning, though the
suicide must have been committed be
fore 2 o'clock that morning.
She, with her second husband. Otto
C. Hemmers, had been living on a farm
near Orient, seven miles beyond Greej-
ham. for II years, ever since they were
married. Before that she had been de
serted by her first husband In San Fran
cisco, and at that time had attempted to
commit suicide at the Sutro baths, and
had been rescued.
For four years, since the time of a se
rious operation, she had been at time
melancholy and at others suspicious, fear
ing harm for herself and her kin, but
she had never been sufficiently Insane to
be considered more than erratic. She
was In the habit of leaving the house
frequently and remaining away many
hours without explanation, and that ac
counted for the length of time before her
body was found.
Saturday evening her stepson, Henry
B. Hemmers, went away to a dance and
left his father and stepmother sitting
reading before the fire. Some time before
midnight the elder Hemmers went to
bed. his wife saying that she would read
a little while longer, and appearing per
fectly sane. Several hours later Hem
mers was awakened by the knocking
of his son at the door and arose to let
him in. He noticed at that time that
the door to his wife's room was ajar, but
thought nothing of it.
In the morning the two men found that
Mrs. Hemmers had disappeared, but they
were not distressed by that circumstance,
thinking she-had gone away in one of
her periodical "queer" moods. They ate
breakfast, washed the dishes and the
son went away.
The old man stood In his doorway late
In the morning, and, thinking of the
young cabbages he had planted In a
field several rods away, walked over to
them with a pitchfork load or rubbish to
spread over them. He came to a log by
the field, and throwing his load over It.
stood aghast, for he looked upon the
charred body of his wife.
He picked op her cloak, which lay un
bumed, and threw it over her, then
rushed to the neighbors, who telephoned
for Deputy Coroner A. L. Finley. who
drove out there, and making careful in
vestigations, decided that It was a case
of suicide.
From his investigations, Mrs. Hemmers
must have made several trips from the
house to the log behind which she burn
ed herself. She had carried out a halt
filled can of kerosene, a large quantity
of magazines and papers, some of which
were not consumed by the fire she set
among them. From the way she fell it
was evident that she leaned over the
flame when she had poured the coal oil
upon herself, and, catching fire from It,
stood till she fell dead.
In the ashes and charred clothing ly
ing about there were found a few dollars
in a half-burned purse, an umbrella, a
pair of overshoes and other small things,
which she had carried from the house
with her. She evidently left the house
in the first Instance, with the Intention
of making one of her little journeys, but
some vagary of her diseased mind turn
ed her towards the thought of self-destruction,
and in her madness she chose
the most horrible method she could have
imagined.
The husband, who Is not strong-, has
become very ill from the shock.
