Herman Wilhelm was exonerated bv
the coroner's jury for the killing of his
father July 7th, on the Wilhelm place
on 10-Mile creek.
Wilhelm was called as a witness and
asked to explain to the jury about the
quarrel, said :
"After 1 quit mowing (about 0:30 Fri
day evening; I brought down tho ma
chine sickle to sharpen up, and while I
was working at that my wife called for
supper. At this time my father was sit
ting in the front room near the window,
and wo started on through the gate, and
MiES Failing Dras was coming behind.
After she got through the gate and shut
it my father commenced to abuse her
and cursing, said she would have to look
out for her life. The gate was shut, the
same as we usually do, and when he
commenced cursing her I came up on
the front porch, and then my wife
stepped on the porch, and when I
stepped in the front door he came there
raving and cursing and abusing my wife
and 1, then struck at her, and I said
to him, after pushing liim back : 'Let'B
not have no quarrel, whatever.' I said
'overlook things and be peaceable and
quiet,' and also told him that I would
go away from the pluce peaceably and
quiet if he would not raise a row, but he
insisted on quarreling and threatening
to drive us out. He still came at me,
struck at me and 1 struck at him,
don't know exactly where I did hit him,
on the cheek or near the templr.
again told him to let things pass oif
quietly, and he again followed me up
and undertook to grab me bv the collar
and at the same time striking at me with
the right hand. I knocked off his licks
and struck him again, and then we both
clinched and I held him back, and still
again told him: 'Please stop quarrel
ing.' This he refused to do, still threat-

way, anu irom there out on the porch
ami then back into the hallwav again
and at the same time still further askiiiL'
him to keep quiet, and not quarrel or
threaten my life any further, but he still
kept coming after me, and then I grabbed
him by the throat and kept on askinir

ing and let matters pass off peaceably.
still neiu to his throat for a few
moments and then let him loose. Ho
then opened the bedroom door
and leached in back of thn
waidrobo and grabbed tho double-bar
reled shot gun. Before he went into
tho bedroom, he said that ho would fix
us; ho would get tho shot gun and kill
every last one ot uh, and as lie was
reaching for the gun, I knew that I had
to defend my own life and also that of
my familv. While ho was reaching for
the gun, the only thing to defend my
self with was a small piece of fir wood
lying in the hall. This I picked up,
when he stopped to tho door with tho
gun in his hand and hud both hammers
up and trying to tako aim at me, when
1 gave the gun a littlo push and ttiuck
him several blows with tho stick which 1
picked up, doing this in solf-defenso.
After striking him, I sort of held him
up with my left hand mid grabbed the
gun before it dropped to the floor, and
my wife set it on one side for fear that
lie would get un and still trv to use It.
then wrapped huu up In a comfort,
and my mother being up about the burn
somewhere, I thought tho shock would
probably bo death to her if I would lay
him out in the front room, or even let
him Ho where he fell, so I moved tho
body down In tho culler, and went
straight forward and told her all about
it, and after getting her reconciled 1
thought then I would lay the body on
the platform, and then have her to come
in if she chose to. After telling mother
about the affair she first wanted her two
sons sent for, which wc did immedi
ately, and then culled "several of the
neighbors, and forthwith notified thel
coroner, and am willing to give myself
up to the proper authorities."
Mrs. Lydia Wilhelm told substantially
the same story as her husband who had
just testified. She is 20 years old.
Asked particularly about the violence
said to have been offered her by the
old man, she faid he grabbed Jicr by
the right arm and left breast, tear
ing her dress in both places. She ex
hibited the dre.'s, showing the lorn
places. In regard to Miss Dras, her
sister, the old man had threatened that
if she did not leave the place he would
kill her.
Emma Dras, nged 12, testified to the
same facts, that the elder Wilhelm
grabbed hold of her sister, and her hus
band pushed him back. E. W. Wil
helm then struck at the husband, the
latter striking him back.
Mrs. Josephine Wilhelm testified that
she was the wife of E. W. Wilhelm, to
whom she had been married 35 years ;
that her husband liked her son, but
hated his wife's sister. Questioned
about the trouble, she said- "Well,
you know how it was with that man.
He got too much property on hand. He
got contrary, he got mad with himself.
He had spells, and when he got con
trary no one could talk to him, and you
had to leave him go till he got over it
again. These spells occurred about
twice a year, during which lie was aw
fully high tempered, but he never hurt
anyone. The best thing to do was to
stay away from him."
William Wilhelm, aged '25, testified
that his father had threatened to kill
him with tho pitchfork on an occasion
three years previous when a controversy
arose over the manner of spreading grain
over the barn floor for trumping it out;
also that in the same place he abused
his mother one day, and that he struck
her once in the lioii'-.e.
Dr. Logan testified that he found upon
examination that deceased had sustained
a compound comminuted fracture of the
skull and a couple of bruises upon the
breast, and a fracture of the bones of the
face on the right side. The larger part
of the forehead and cheek bone was
crushed, which must have produced
death in a few minutes. The bruises on
the breast were minor affairs.
The following is the verdict ofthe cor
oner's jury :
We, the jury empanelled to inquire
into the cause of the death of E. W.
Wilhelm, having listened to the testi
money produced before us, and made a
careful examination of the body of the
deceased and the premises, find as fol
lows :
That the deceased's name is E. W.
Wilhelm, and that his age was 50 years;
and that he died on July 7th, 1893.
That his death was caused by a blow
from a blunt instrument in the hands of
one H. J. Wilhelm, and we are of the
opinion that the killing was done in self

DEATH TRAP.
Forty I'lti'ini-ii Who Tried to Save a
IIiill.lliiC All Killed.
The following was received by a gentle
man in this city at 3 o'clock today :
"A lire broke out this morning in a
large wholesale building on Sixty-fourth
street, Chicago, near the fair grounds.
Firemen hastened to tho scene and
about forty of them scaled tho sides of
the building upon ladders, preparatory
to throwing streams of water npon it.
After they had gained the top, a portion
of it collapsed from being burned within
and leaving the lirenien above in a death
trap, only half a dozen of whom saved
themselves by sliding from tho roof.
There was no way to save the bravo liie-
men upon tho roof and they were left to
perish within sight of thousands of
people. Hy a 00-foot jump thoy could
alight upon tho roof of a building be
neath them and when the flames com
menced to scorch them n number of
them did jump and were instantly killed.
The remainder, probably twentv-live.
went down all at once with the crash,
into tho fiery vortex below.
"The building was used for storage pur
poses, of which there were many thous
ands of dollars worth in wines, meats,
and perishables. Other casualties re
ported are the death of a number of
women cierKs killed by the falling
walls. The fire spread to a inuiibor of
hotels and commission houses which are
li miming, l no loss aiieudv amounts i
to half a million dollars."
