The mystery surrounding the manner in

injured on Sunday night and had nail uriven

which Varela told was false.
The young man arrested by Wren is named
Adolpn BeregO, and he lives at 132912 Jack
son street He says that ne bad quarrel with
Varela last Saturday night, and that the latter
drew knife and cut several sashes 10 his coat.
He then ran away.
Last night the two men met again In front OF
% Hinckley alley, and Varela Jumped at him
with a knife in his hand To protect himself
BeregO says he picked up piece OF scantliDg
that lay near ana struck Varela over the head
with IL several times. He did not know that
there was nail in the end OF the scantliug, ana
was overcome when he learned AFTER MS arrest
that VaFela was 80 badly injured.
Varea still maintains that he does not know
who hit him. and that he was struck at the en-
trance TO Montgomery court which is of
Montgomery street. near Broadway. Varela
was about he same yesterday, and his cOudi-
ton IS critical.
