several other persons and hurried to
the relief station, where she died All
hour later.
The police are searching for the wo,
mans husband. According to what
the police can learn, Santoro was in
the house just before his wife was
seen falling to the street, and was at
her side as she lay on the sidewalk
waiting for the ambulance.
The Santoros nave been married
about four months. During that time,
their neighbors say, they have had

the dead woman who lives at "a
Prince street claims that on Monday
night Santoro assaulted his wife, CIV
ing her a beating which left several

After their marriage the Santoros
lived on Endicott street, and a short
time ago moved to North Margin
street.
AS far as the police could learn
everything was peaceful and quiet in
Santoro's home, nothing being seen
or heard Of them during the day.
About Z o'clock some small boys saw
a human form plunging through the
air, coming, they thought from the
top floor Of the house where Sanford
lives. Their frightened outcries
brought several persons to the scene
and the woman was found, suffering
terribly from her injuries, lying ON the
| sidewalk. Patrolman Sweetland came
along soon, and he sent in hurry call

though she was still conscious, both
of her jaws had been broken in several
places and she was unable to utter

was conscious until after she was
placed in the ambulance, and later,
just before she died, regained con
seriousness for few moments. She
was unable to talk. No one except
the small boys saw her fall, and they
couldn't tell anything of the cause of
it.
The police in looking about the
apartments Of the couple afterward,
could find no signs Of any struggle

woman fell from window at the front
of the house, every window there was
found closed by the police. They con-
sidered this a significant fact, al
though they admitted that in case the
woman's fall had been purely acciden-
tai, the husband, after the ambulance
had taken her away, might have gone
back upstairs and shut the window.
