None of the neighbors seem to know
anything about Alexander beyond the
fact that he but recently came from
Poland. They say he was to all in

by which he could be definitely tracked.
They declared yesterday that the house
was not broken into. The back door
was left open but there were no signs
of blood about It. The theory was ad-

have killed his wife and himself and
marked his own body in such a CHASTITY
manner as it was marked by a hatchet.
/ There was no domestic trouble between
the man and his wife.
Another story that stranger had pass-

was dissipated by the report that the man
was drunk and did not linger long in the
/ neighborhood.
Enemies Not Known.
Florczik was not known to have any
enemies There was nothing among the

murder by some one outside Of the fam
lily.
