CHILDREN HAD LAST LOOK

At the Face of Long Suffering Mother Here.

Two of the little Hogan children, one nine and another seven, were brought back to Elwood yesterday to spend a day and see the remains of their mother. The other two, both under three years old, and twins, are kept at the home and are hardly able to leave even for a day. They are not completely recovered from the ills that had beset them and when found by the charity officers and sent to Anderson were in a deplorable condition.

The last few days, Hogan was visited for a single instant with a touch of sentiment. He asked Sheriff Smelser to give him a half day off to go to look after his family. Generally, he views with indifference the reports of the wretched condition of his family.

DEATH RELIEVES SUFFERING OF AN UNFORTUNATE WOMAN

Mrs. Clara Hogan Died This Morning of Pneumonia After Weeks of Suffering.

The suffering and misery of Mrs. Clara Hogan, an unfortunate wife and mother, were mercifully ended by death this morning. At the home of her mother, Mrs. Pool, on North Fifth street, the woman, whose life held little of happiness, died at 5 o'clock.

Mrs. Hogan was the woman, who was found in such a wretched condition by the teachers of the South Elwood school building, who gave the first relief to the sick mother and wretched little children. The matter being brought to the attention of the authorities, the woman was taken to her mother's, and the children to the orphans' home at Anderson.

The woman's husband who deserted her and has been living with a Mrs. Perkins, at Alexandria, is now serving a sentence in the jail at Anderson, having been sent from Alexandria, after the recent case, when a Perkins' girl set fire to the clothing and burned to death a little playmate. The store of the Hogan family is indeed a pitiable one, and all of the misfortunes of the woman and children will perhaps never be recounted.

The funeral of Mrs. Hogan will take place at the residence tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, the minister of the United Brethren church being in charge. The body will be interred in the city cemetery.
