CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.

cupies the front and had the rear part
rented to Kadzina and the upstairs to
John Christie. Kolar's three or four
boarders and his tenants comprised the
drinking party. The house is situated
on Second avenue, Jessup, and is about
a quarter of a mile from the Peckville
station of the Delaware and Hudson

was still in his head, but it dropped be-

there was no attempt made to hold him.

man. Mrs. Kolar. his sister, was the

ers persuaded her to desist, Kadzine's
wife. attracted by the crying, came from
the other part of the house and it was
useless to combat the expression of her
sorrow when she saw her husband lying
in his life blood on the floor.
BLOOD STAINED THE FLOOR.

from the gaping wound on his head

house and down the steps. His head

door,
