While Judge Lindsay stood outside
the door listening to the awful sound
which turns out to be the noise Of the
knife cutting through Tanaka's throat.
Mrs. Lindsay had summoned several
neighbOrs to the scene. The police
were sent for and on the arrival OF
two officers the door was broken open
and then an awful sight was disclosed.
The woman lay dead on the floor
with her head almost severed from the
body. There were knife wounds ON
her arms and hands but none OF them
we're serious enough to have caused
death.
The murderer lay alongside of the
womans corpse and his throat was
cut from ear to ear. The only sign of
life that the man showed was move
ment Of his chest as he enieavored to
breathe. The whole room was like a
shamble and the blood was over every.
thing.
Deputy Sheriff Rose and several pc.

wound was dressed by Dr.. Baldwin and
then the man was conveyed to the
Queens hospital. The wound in his
neck Is not so serious ms II looks and
the murderer may recover and later
