The New York Tenement House
HOPrOr.

SISTER.
At an early hour yesterday morning another
New York is acquiring such an unenviable no
toriety, was committed in tenement house in
Broome street At present the case is involved
in mystery but the detectives detect YES are bIsly at
they will not fail to make the mystery plain.
For the full particulars connected with this
bloody affair we refer our readers to another
column. The fourth floor of the house above re-
ferred to Is rented by a Mr.. Burk. Mr.. Burk
and family occupy three of the apartments;
the fourth room on the floor, a front pArlor, was
occupied by Nicholas Ryan and his sister. At
about half-psst two O'Clock Mr.. Burk was
aroused by peculiar noise which he describes
as like! the squealing of a cat" Opening his
door and looking into the hall but seeing moth
children called to him that there was something
wrong in the hallway. Procuring q light and
looking into the hall, he discovered that the
walls were covered with blood. Calling to his
wife that there was murder in the house. he
went into the front parlor, where he found
Mary Ryan lying in bed with her throat cut.
when Officer Wilson, of the 18Th precinct,
speedily answered his summons. On the land
ing of the second floor the officer stumbled over
the body Of a man who, when light was pro-
cured was found to be dead. his throat cut from
ear to ear. Proceeding up stairs he founi the
walls and stairway from the second to the fourth
floor covered with blood. In the room occupied
BY the Ryans there were no traces visible of any
struggle. on table lay the gold watch OF Miss
Ry an, small gold pencil and penknife, ap-
parently indicating that robbery was not the
motive to murder. Later one of the officers
found bloody marks as of naked feet on the stairs
leading to the roof. Proceeding to the roof he
found the blood marks repeated, and suddenly
lighted upon the vest of the murdered man.
The pockets were empty, and the condition of
the vest encouraged the belief that the watch
chain had been suddenly wrenched from the
buttonhole. Mr.. Ryan's watch and chain are
missing. Is this . case of double murder or is IL
case OF murder and suicide? Yesterday the
bloody foot prints on the roof were measured
witt Ryan's feet and they were found to cor
resi- ond. This adds another complication to
