A DUEL AT THREE PAGES AND BOTH CONTEST
ANTS KILLED.
The residence OF Davis Jereslov the real victim OF
the terrible tragedy which on Tuesday afer-
at No. log Delancoy street, was No 10 Essex
street. At this house learned the story which VIII
be found below. Mrs Hermann, who resides at the
house mentioned, related what she knew Of the affair
in broken English, several times stopping in the course
Of her narrative by at the thought Of
the loss Of her benefactor. She was surrounded in
her neatly arranged apartments by four children, the
oldest OF which could not have been seven years
OF age and she seemed dwell particularly upon tho
good qualities Of the man whose death she mourned.
1t appears from her testimony that Jeresov to
this country from Warsaw, Poland, about two years
ago. with a few hundred dollars and after became
acquainted with Joseph Goldman who had at that time
been in New York four or Eve years. and who was a
native of town about four miles from Warsaw. Jere-
SLOW took fancy to Goldman, who entirely without
capital and proposed that the two should embark In
manufacturing iewelry business, Goldman TO solicit
orders and Jcreslov 70 do the inside work Goldman
eagerly accepted the oner and together they hired OF
Mrs Marks a room at No. So East Broadway. They
prospercd in their business which increased quite
rapidly, and before a year was ended i. they
six workmen. Goldman had entire charge Of the
tary department OF the nrm and spent the earnings
almost fast they made except what Jeresov
used for his expenses, while the latter under tho
belief that the irm had a comfortable balance in the
bank. About three months ago another emigrant a
friend ofJeresovs named Jochein arrived in New York
with 81 600 IN cash, and he permitted, upon his
own request to become partner in the business The
spcndthrift Goldman made away with Jocheins ST. 600
very soon, and the latter scovering this made the
fact known 10 Jereslov, who, upon becoming aware
Of Goldmans true character refused TO have anything
more to do with him, and insisted upon his withdrawal
from the firm Goldman tried by earnest appeals
made partly in the presence OF Mrs Hermann, to in
duce Jcreslov 70 alter his decision urging that he
entirely without and probably could not obtain
a situation anywhere Jeresov, who q very kind
hearted man, was undecided for week So but
finally made up his mind that the partner
ship must be dissolved and expressed
himself TO Goldman, and the dissolution took
place about nine weeks ago. Jcreslov, by selling
everything he had that he could spare and Dy hard
work managed to scrape together enough to pay back
TO Jochein the 81 900 which he had invested in the
business, and Jochein after returned the old
country. Last Tuesday afternoon Goldman presented
himself at Jereslov's rooms in Essex street, and
asked of Mrs Hermann If his former partner at
home, and seemed very nervous and anxious about
something, Jereslov was not in the house. and
Mrs. Hermann informed Goldman, asking him
at the same time what made him appear
excited He made some reply which Mrs. HeimaDn
did not remember, and then returned to No. LOG De-
ancey street, where he had slept the night before
with friend told in yesterdays HERALD, and from
there sent little boy to Jeresovs workshop in East
Broadway to tell him that somebody had arrived from
Warsaw and had some information regarding his wife
and three children, Tor whom he had written
to this country, and who are now on the way here.
Jeresov at repaired to the place designated and
found Goldman in a room the top floor alone After
this nothing positive can as yet be found OUT but
1t is evident that Goldman handed Jercslov pistol,
and warned the latter to prepare himself for o
combat. The result published in yesterdays
HERALD. Goldman was shot twice. and killed
the spot while Jereslov received bullet the
right temple and died shortly after his arrival at the
Bellevue Hospital Jereslov much respected by all
acquainted with him, but 1t difficult to ascertain
much about Goldman. He seemed to have been very
quiet, uncommuncatEe man. for the people with whom
he lived, at No, 100 Hester street, did not know
where his place OF business was He believed to have
lett a wife and one child living in Germany.
Coroner Croker has the case in charge and has i'm
paneled jury who viewed the body Of Jereslov at
the Morgue yesterday. Godmans body will be removed
there to-day. The inquest will be held next week
