Bohlke, 3| MYSTERY NOT S0LVED ARREST OF BULGARIANS AT DU. LUTH THROWS NO LIGHT ON MINNEAPOLIS MURDERS. PRISONERS MAINTAIN THEIR INNOGENCE PECLARE V\c‘rlms WERE ALIVE AND flLL WHEN SUSPECTS LEFT THE MILL CITY. _— Duluth, March 30.—The mystery surrounding the six grewsome mur- ders which horrified the citizens of Minneapolis Wednesday was only deepened during the morning by the arrest here of eleven Bulgarians who were residents’ of the house at 243 Tenth ayenue south, where the crime ‘was committed. Cross-questioned individually five of the eleven prisoners tell the' same story and maintain their innocence of any complicity in the crime and even thelr ignorance of ‘it until they were enlightened by ‘the police. If their story is true the Mimmeapolis police have- struck the wrong trail and it shatters all theorfes of the murders which have hitherto been held and leaves the police absolutely at sea [for even a theory for the motive for the crime and the identity of the crim- inals. The facts as told by Kuzman Sielkuloft, the leader of the band, are these: Came From Northern Turkey. For the last year or more there has been a band of Bulgarians from the province of Presbad, in the northern part of Turkey, working in the woods and camps of’ Northern Minnesota. The members of this band were from. the same.part of the province and were headed by Siekuloff, who acted in the capacity of padrone or leader. He was the only member of the band who' could speak English, having been- in- this country about five years, and he provided work for his followers, hiring them out to work in the mines, on the railroads and in the loggingicamps. During the winter the members of this band hayve beea ear the village of Alborn, in b1t four months. a: he house” at T Tenth avenue south, Minneapolis, 1 ning to bring some other of his cou 1 trymen over-to America. The par included his bride, Uloka Nardova, whom “he ‘had married about a year ago while on a visit to his old home. Petros Stojer, a middle aged man and a member of Siekuloff’s band, was left in charge of the house about two months ago and since that time he has been keeping bachelor’s hall there, getting his own meals and keeping the house In readiness for the other mem- bers of the party. Reached Minneapolis Last Week. One week ago Wednesday Siekulcfi and the six men who are dead com- pleted their work at Alborn and went to Minneapolis with .their winter’s wages in their pockets. Saturday the party of immigrants arrived from Bulgaria and the sixteen people occupied the house Saturday and Sunday. Monday afternoon Sie kuloff started for Duluth with the new- comers, leaving the six members ol his old band behind him in Minneap- olis. They were planning to go out on some railroad section work, while Blekuloff intended to bring the new arrivals to the northern part of the state to work in the mines. He arrived here with his party Mon- day night.- The party comprised him- self and his wife, two boys about fif: teen years of age, seven young men ranging from twenty to thirty-five years of age and Petros Stojer, the member of the old band who had been left in charge of the Minneapolis house. Stojer and Siekuloff were the only ones who had spent any length of time in this country, the others having come direct from New York, where they landed. Some of the ol members, according to Siekuloff’s story, went down to the train with the party and saw them safely off. That was the last seen of the six alive and Siekuloff and the members of his party are at a loss to know the cause of the murders. Ignorant of Cause for Crime. Siekuloft, when questioned, claimed that all of the men were very good friénds and professed entire ignorance as to what could have been the cause of the murders. He says that there are no other Bulgarians in this part of the country, He knows of no erim- indl organization or feud that could have prompted the murders. All had money, having been working for two months at Alborn. Of the six men left at Minneapolis four were brothers named Jaless. Asked if they had had trouble with any persons in Minneap- olis he said they had not. As to the articles of a religious significance found in the house he said his people all belonged to the Bulgarian-church and carried these things with them always and held services among them- selves. The men will be held here until ]\[lnneapulls ‘directs what shall be done with them. The correct names of the men murdered are: NUKOLA JALESS, ANDRI JALESS, _ ANGELO JALES THOMAS JALESS, NECEATIVVE DACE *ore in Nopth.
