Washington, Aug. 10. F. E. .Bliss,
Jr., a member of the contracting firm
of ISlWs & AlSrecht, paper rulers, was
cu,ite3 from head to foot of hardened
tar and la under the treatment of
several physicians.
Henry C. Cole, Charles Marthisoti
and James L. White, prominent as
brokers and business men. who admit
applying the tar and regret they did
not make a better Job of it, were ar
retted after news of the affair came
out through one of Bliss' physicians.
The three men were released on $500
bond to appear in police court.
A statement given out by E. F. Col
lady, attorney for the three men who
gave Bliss a drubing and then tarred
him, declares that recently Bliss met
Mr. and Mrs. Marthison at a social
function and was later entertained at
their home. Bliss subsequently be
came acquainted with Henry C. Cole
and his wife, who live near the Mar
thisons. Claimed to Bo a Hypnotist.
At these two homes Bliss was a fre
quent visitor. He is about 35 years of
age, suave, ' handsome, a fine con
versationallst and boasts of his pow
ers as a hypnotist. He often was en
tertained at dinner parties and really
got the lion's share of feminine ad'
miration.
On several occasions Bliss and Mrs.
Marthison have been seen together at
the theater and other public places.
Marthison on Wednesday saw them
together, and a quarrel with his wife
followed.
Mrs. Marthison said she Tiad been
under Bliss' rypnotlc influence for
gome time and was unable to control
herself when he was near. She said she
got instructions from him by men
tal telepathy.
Husband Sets a Trap.
Bliss called Mrs. Marthison over
the telephone. Mrs. Marthison talk
ed over the phone with her husband,
near by, offering suggestions. He
told her to have Bliss call at their

home, about 9 o'clock and enter
through the basement.
Mrs .Marthison met Bliss at the
door and was fondly embraced by
him. Marthison, Cole and White were
secreted in another part of the base
ment listening. They heard Bliss ask
If, any one was at home, and Mrs.
Marthison said no. Then he made
several suggestions as to how to spend
the evening.
The three husbands sprang upon
Bliss and frightened him into trem
bling and pleading for mercy.
A sound threshing was administer
ed first to iillss, and later the bucket
of tar, which had lieen carefully
warmed for the occasion, was brought
forth. Bliss was stripped and every
square inch of his body was covered.
His face was fairly bathed in tfie tar,
ome rf ti petting In his eyes.
After their task was well done the,
husbands turned Bliss loose and he
fled across town in search"1 of a physi
cian. In the effort to remove the tar
from the victim's face, most of the
skin was pulled off, and rather than
disfigure him the physician wlil al
low the tar to wear away.
Bliss talked reluctantly about the
affair, but will be compelled to tell
his story in police court today.
White, who is a retired business
man, acted merely as a friend of Mar
thlson and as a witness.
MADMAN SPAHES INVALID.
Farm land SliooUt Farmer and House
keeper Then Commit Suicide.
Chicago, Aug. 11. A . tragedy In
which one person Is dead and two dy
ing, occurred at Blackberry Center, a
small village 15 miles from Aurora,
111., at 4 o'clock this morning, and will
leave a blind woman 90 years old as
the sole survivor of the household of
J. A. Morrill, a wealthy farmer.
The probable fatal shooting of Mor
rill, a man well known for his char
ity, was followed swiftly by the at
tempted murder of Mrs. Mary Bal
colm. After the shooting the assail
ant, John Larson, a farm hand, com
pelled the wounded couple to sit in
chairs for hours while he held a shot,
gun. Then, with a Jest, Larson blew
out his brains.
Blind Woman Tells of Tragedy.
The story of the tragedy was told
by Mr. Morrill's aged mother, totally
blind, whose life was spared by the
whim of the madman. When the fi
nal explosion, followed by a fresh
scent of gunpowder and blood, told
hor thit Larson was no more a men
ace, she groped for a quarter of n
mile along the country road to the
iH'arest dwelling, where she fainted
after gasping out her awful message.
After Larson had placed his bleed
ing and nearly unconscious victims In
two chairs, his murderous mood seerm
erl to change to one of pity. He be
gan to bind their wounds with hand
kerchiefs. He heard a rustling at the
door and on turning he saw that It
was Morrill's feeble old mother.
"I won't kill you, old lady," he said,
with a peculiar effort at courtesy.
"Sit down and make yourself at home.
I'm going fo watch over these two
here. Tiny need guarding."
Tlrt' blind woman took a chair mear
that of her wounded son. She realiz
ed only dimly what had happened,
and her son. still conscious, dared not
talk to her. Larson, too, seated him
self, with the gun across his knee. He
said nothing to his victims, merely
muttering to himself.
Thus four long hours were dragged
out, the wounded pair groaning feebly
at times. At the end of the fourth
hour Larson said, "Well, nobody is
coming to shoot me, after all. I be
lieve I will shoot myself."
The next Instant he suited action to
the word and the blind woman grop
ed her way from the hou9.

to our climatic conditions, but abund

densers Insist that solids should be
such as result from the use of whole
milk In their yroduct.
