Rzepka ~questioned the children
and they showed him their hands.
The blisters and sores had not even
been bound, he told poiice.

~Mother: burned us ~on the stove
because we took some- money from
her purse for ice cream and candy,~~.the children explained, according to

Rzepka. ~ eg

housing project, who called police.

She Wanted cf Know
~Where They Were.

MINNEAPOLIS, "MINN. ~ Freed

| 4 from. shackles and cages in which
| their 72-year-old mother had held

them for many years, two middleaged brothers and a sister ate ravenously ~in a hospital.

The mother~s explanation of the
dreadful:.situation was that she
~wanted to know where they are.~
The. mother, Mrs. Bertha Anderson,

3} was known as a Treligious woman

who played the organ for visiting
Tevivalists and gave tenants. two
weeks~ free rent each Christmas.

~They~re my kids, aren~t they?~~
- she said. ~~I~ve got a right to do
what I want with them.~

Police, who entered her home on
a neighbor~s tip, found Martin Anderson, 42, caged in a chicken-wire
enclosure: upstairs.: Nearby, tied to

~%"*|, @ dirty and bare cot, was his broth
er, Clarence, 38.
Locked in Attic.

The sister, Violet, 35, was k cked
in an attic room with-a sack wer
her head.

~All were thin and dirty. Violet
was eating from a~ tin can, using the
cover for a spoon; They mumbled
incoherently and police said they
were almost too weak to walk.

Probate court records showed all
three had been adjudged incompe
| tent mentally. Guardianship over

them has shifted frequently during
the last 20 years between Mrs, An~derson and another son, Walter,
~who also was to be questioned.

Police are seeking four other: children, including a son, Earl, whom
Mrs. Anderson said was ~~subject to
and also. was under her
care..

~She said she permitted him: freedom of the house and let him out
~once in a while.~~

Police said Clarence had been
locked up 18 years, Martin 15 years,
and Violet 2 years.

Left $50,000 Estate.

Court records showed Mrs. Anderson~s husband, Hans, died in
+ 1916, leaving an estate of almost
$50,000. His will gave. Mrs.~ Anderson a third and divided the remainder among the eight children.

~ Clarence was adjudged incompetent in 1925, Martin in 1928 and
Violet in October, 1943. '. Mrs. Anderson said she. had em-;
ployed ~22 Minneapolis lawyers~: to }
handle the involved manipulations
~of the estate in the last 20 years.

~ ~Mr. and Mrs, H. Bay Tretdwnéy,~ [*
~who live on the first floor of. Mrs,
Anderson~s home, said she was~a
~perfect landlady.~ They never
knew of the imprisonments, they
said, ~although they had lived there
three years.

Insurance _ policies
covering all but one of Mrs. Anderson~s eight children for a total of
$16,000.
