When the demand refused, Trojanowsky
says, William began shooting After the shoot
ing William to the street but was captured
at Eighth avenue and 10th street by Patroman
John F. Berry. of the 9th Precinct who took
him to the West Goth street police station. He
fought desperately with Berry and three other

TO be beaten into submission. At the station
house he refused to make any statement. Tro-

Mrs Kallenbrun and her son Leo who is also
a pipe maker, have lived in the 10th street fiat

Trojanowsky, who boarded with them. Neigh

to support him any longer.
William then went to live in Jersey City,
frequently called up his mother on the tele-
phone and made many visits to the fiat to de-
mand money. Although Leo gave him SO on
Wednesday night, he appeared again the fol-
lowing night and asked for more. saying that
he was hungry. This time the demand re-
fused, and William went away.
Last night he returned at about $50 o'clock,
and again asked them to give him money or
take him in a boarder Leo replied that he
and his mother had only enough for their own
needs and could not take him in, whereupon,
Trojanowsky says William drew revolver and
fired three shots at Leo he sat in a chair.
Two Of the shots struck Leo in the body and the
third in his neck He sank down in the chair
and died few minutes later.
