WILMINGTON. Del. December 49,
The police are mystified over double
murder which was brought TO ligth this
morning when the bodies OF Vicente
f1orczik. aged thirty-eight years. and his
wife Rozlya, aged twenty-four. Poles.
were found in separate beds at their late
home. 49, Bird street. Both had been
hacked about the head with Ratchet.
The beds are in the same room, in the
second story of the house. and between
them was crib. in which their two
month-old baby slept last night. The in
FAINT was crying when the horrible dis
covery was made by Alexander FlorcZik,
aged eighteen years. a ledger. who said
he had called at the house to know why
he was unable to gain admittance last
night. In another room was the two
year-old daughter of the victims, but she
was unable to throw any light on the
tragedy.
Victims Hacked and Gashed
Both of the victims were found in bed,
each covered up if sleeping. The face
CT the woman was hacked all over and
was in such condition that she could
scarcely be recognized. while the mans
ear and there were cuts all over his face.
The woman was evidently killed first as
the Ratchet. which had been recently
sharpened. but which was covered with
blood was found on the mans bed. on
top of the bedclothes. Both beds were
saturated with blood and both bodies
were cold indicating that life had been
extinct several hours
Vicente F'lOrcZik. the man who was
killed. was a morocco worker employed
by the New Castle Leather Company, and
man ithOut means. therefore
there is little reason to believe that rob-
berry cut any figure in the crime.
Discovered by Ledger.
The ledger who reported the discovery
is a brother of the murdered man. lie
says he went to the house about II O'Clock
last night, but was unable to gain en-
trance, and spent the night with an uncle
al SOB Chestnut street. but went to his
lodging house about 9 o'clock today to
learn why he had been locked out. He
says he found the back door unfas; ened,
and discovered the bodies while searching
for the members of the household. He
was taken to police headquarters and will
be detained pending an investigation. But
little can be learned from him.
The house is about block from where

SHUT IN IRON VAULT
Maddening Experience of Ho-
boken City Clerk.
NEARLY STIFLED IN HIS PRISON
Fellow Employe Shut Open Door OF
Safe Closet Not Knowing Any
One Was Within.

NEW YORK, December 1>.-James
Havron. forty-four years old, returned
Yesterday to his duties as assistant city
clerk in the Hoboken city hall, having re-
covered from the terrifying experience
of being locked for hours within big
municipal vault, d prison from which he
was rescued barely in time to save his
life.
Sitting in his little Office in the court
house yesterday. Havron told how he
was made a prisoner in the small iron
closet in which are stored old city rec
ords.
Wednesday afternoon. while the court
of special sessions was sitting. Havron
was sent to the unused vault. he said, to
find some records needed in Il case on
trial. The vault is adjacent to the dis
trict court. in a rather remote part a the
building and is not opened on an aver
age once in six weeks.
Shut in by Fellow Clerk.
Havron turned the combination and en-
tered the vault unseen by anybody. \
few minutes later Harry Bennett, a clerk
entered the room, noticed the open door
OF the vault, and. not thinking anybody
was inside slammed it shut.
The lock clicked, Havron was made a
prisoner.
That's the way ! was locked into the
place" said Havron, land if / ever have

I realized no one knew | was in there
and the possibility that | might be left

was simply frantic; pictured my
self dying and my body being found
weeks aft erward. 1t was horrible,'
Havron had not heard the door shut
and after he found the papers he
turned to leave the vault. Reaching the
first steel door. which is separated from
the outer and larger one by a space OF
three feet. he found that one shut.
Outer Door Locked Tight.
He opened. this in a minute. however,
only to find that the main door was
closed and locked. He tried it again and
again. but it would not yield.
II banged on the door with all my
might said Havron. II shouted for
help at the top OF my voice and tried iii

one in the adjoining room.

then caused me great pain. l found an
old piece OF wood in the room. and | hit
the door with that. 1t made only dull
thud, and | began to realize how unlikely
it would be that my voice would be heard
outside.

NO TEST ON next man TO DIE
REVIVAL OF VICTIM OF CHAIR
Is POSTPONED.
County Physician Wants His Duties
Construed by Counsel Before
He Goes Ahead.

TRENTON. y. j.. December lS.-Dr
Frank G. Scammell. county physician
who wants TO make experiments on the
body of the next electrocution victim al
the state prison, with view of proving OF
disproving the efficiency of the electric
current. is much interested in the re-
port from Camden of the resuscitation OF
Owl Mako. apparently shocked to death
by contac, with live wire.
Discussing this case DR.. Scammell said
Attorney General Wilson pointed out
that it is the duty of the county physician
10 give death certificates after electrocu-
ton In that event the first thing we
should do is to ascertain if the man Is
actually dead.
THE prison authorities doubtless believe
that he is dead, but why should We ac-
cept their views with no tests o: our
own
DR. Scammell will not say whether or
no he will insist on making the proposed
tests. Lawyers point out that he has
the right to demand the body and that
it is his duty to make report on the
death. They also hold that 1t is his
privilege 10 ascertain whether death has
actually taken place.
Against this. however. is set ZIP the
right OF the prison authorities to hold
the body as long as they desire before
decla ring that death has taken place.
There is also the opposing force of pub
lie opinion which is aroused because of
the fact that If man is revived it will
be required under the law that he he
placed back IN the chair and again sub
jected to the current.
Dr. Scammell would only say: Il have
asked the county solicitor for an opinion
as to my duty in the case l viii prob
ably not make any experiments on the
man to be electrocuted next week. but
l propose TO have my duty and my right
defined so that in the future l may keep
my office up TO the legal requirements"

not know whether l had gone there or
not If Bennett had not heard my knock
ing and cries he might have gone again
into the courtroom. and. after that home
The building would have closed for the
night in a short time: should have been
left to my fate.
Havron's long absence having excited
surprise clerks were sent out to find their
associate. They searched every office
in the building. but without success.
While the search was going on Ben
nett, the clerk who had closed the door
of the vault returned to his office. hav-
ing completed his duties in the court
room. Sitting down at his desk. which
faces the vault entrance. he thought he
heard slight sound from behind the
big iron door.
He arose. crossed to the vault door and
listened intently. He heard slow. dull
thuds and at intervals. a muff1ed cry.
He turned the lock as fast as he could
and a moment later stood face to face
with Havron. The latter was so weak he
fell forward and Bennett caughe him
in his arms.

Z may be pardoned for again troubling
you, but this is Miss Spencer. a great

Miss Spencer swept gracefully for

tended. "Oh, Mr.. Hampton, l have 80
wished to meet with you ever since l
first read your name in Aunt Lydia's
letters-Mrs. Herndon is my aunt, you
know-and all about that awful time
you had with those Indians. You see,
l am Nadia Gillis's most particular
friend. and she tells me SO much
about you. She is such a dear, sweet

Hampton's fingers twitched in a
nervousness altogether unusual to the
man, yet when he spoke his voice was
like steel. Your suspicious are high
ly interesting, ind you cowardly in
situations base. However. If, as l
suppose, your purpose is to provoke
a quarrel. you will find me quite ready

An instant they stood thus, eye to

them, and he forced back the hasty
retort burning upon his lips.

He held out his hand, and scarcely
