Jaroslow replied that he had not the

House on Elridge street and gave an
alarm. Officer Henken went with him
to the house and asceded to
the top floor, but all was then still. The
officer knocked at the door of Peareson,s
room where the two men were, but re.
celved no reply, and then broke open the
door with Ratchet. A terrible sight
was before him. Goldman was lying on
the floor dead. with pistol clenched in
his hand, and Jaros'ov was sitting and
md half kneeling, propped against the
door, living but insensible. A partly.
discharged pistol remained in his hand.
Both men were shot through the head,
and the marks Of other shots were found
in the walls of the room. The room was
not larger than 10 by Is feet in dimen-
sions, and the encounter had evidently
been entered upon with deadly intentions.
The pistols were seven chambered revolv--
ers, out Of which four chambers of one.
and three of the other were emitted. An,
ambulance was telegraphed for, and Jar
oslow was taken to Bellevue Hospital, bnt
died in the ambulance while on his way
to the hospital. The friends of Goldman
claim that Jaroslow shot him and then
suicide. No foundation for
such claim is known, and the fact that
each man was found with pistol in his
hand contradicts the supposition.
