last month, when they were compelledto
ask little indulgence at the hand of their
landlord. He being humane man, it
was granted. They, however, had previ-
onsly told Mr.. May, on various occasions,
that II the times grew much worse, they
woud poison themselves. 81,
lie laughed at the idea, and talked en-
couraging TO them. He had not the
most remote idea that they would execute
the threat. On Monday last, Cecilia. the
eldest sister, addressed note to Mr.. Nav.
saying that they intended TO leave the u
nIed States. The messenger who con-
veyed this letter to his place Of business
also returned his dauouereotype likeness,
which the sisters had held some time
Mr.. May did not receive the letter the day
1t was written and therefore could not an
swer it promptly, as requested. The day
OF its reception, Mr.. May called to see the 4,
sisters, but found the door of their room
IN tenei. He, wro.e note explain
ing why he had not called sooner, and
sticking It under the door, went home.-
Mr. Black, or his wife, not having seen
their ten tnts since Tuesday afternoon, be-
came concerned about them, thinking per-
haps they had all left, as man was seen
on Monday carry ing eff some luggage for
them. 1t was finally resolved to burst o.
pen the door Of their room which was ex-
ecuted in the presence of officer Dunn> of
the 18th ward Police. ..... &
On opening the dc o" Of their sleeping
room, most horrible and sickening sight
was presented to Mr.. Black and the of
licer, it being no less than the dead bodies
OF the three persons referred to. On the
bed lay Wanda Stein, the younger sister,
with blood and froth gushing from her
mouth, while beside her, next 10 the wall,
| y the dead body of her son, six years of
age. Cecilia Stein was lying on the floor,
face downwards, with fallen chair over
her body. she evidently, rolled of the bed
and upset. the chair in the fall. The most
obnoxious and sickening effluvia was emit
ted from the bodies, rendering it next to
impossible for person to remain in the
room, even for minnie. Two empty
ounce vials, which had contained prassic
acid, and n couple of tea-cups, were found
on the floor near the bell Coroner Will
helm was Immediately notified, and held
an inquest. when the facts as mentioned
were elected. DIR. Uhl examined the
bodies, and from what he discovered, and
the general history of the case. he was sat
isfied that these deaths were the result of
