So He Murdered The Man Who Had
Threatened Him.

TO light yesterday which put an entire
ly different aspect on the killing Of
Andrew stulvatsIy by Joseph Nehaliek
at West Pawlet Tuesday, and the sub.
scquent suicide Of Nehalick after his ar.
rest at Fort Edward, N. Y. IL turns
out that the murdered man was a mem
Der Of a secret society with "black hand"
tendencies, which ia accused Of having
committed several murders In Pawlet,
Granville, N. Y, and vicinity.
Attorney Joseph Mccormack of Gran
vile, who was in this city yesterday
said that Nehelick, who he declared was
the most intelligent Hungarian that
ever lived in Pawlet. called at his Office
last Monday and said that Stulvatsky
had threatened his life several times be-
cause he refused Ia Join the society. He
told The attorney that on Sunday night
Stulvatsky and two other Hungarians
tried TO break into his house and MUIR
der him. He said they broke n window
and might have gained entrance had not
the noise of the falling glass awakened
his dog, which set up barking that
aroused everybody in the house. A
long knife was found on the ground UNI
der the window after the supposed MUIR
derers had fled

any action, saying that those fellows
were bad men and that they did not car
10 have anything TO do with them"
Stulvatsky did not board with Nehalick
as was previously reported, but lived
on the New York aide Of the line. He
had been in the neighborhood only four
months.

general belief In Pawlet and Granville
that the band Of cut -throats of which
was a member, IL respon-
sible for the disappearance Of several
who have turned up miss
ing and never been heard Of again. He
told Of one case in which a Hungarian

that time Mccarthy may be able TO
secure employment. If not, he viii con
tinue his vagrancy habits, perhaps.
Mccarthy is an elderly man and he
speaks with a distinct brogue. When
Judge Harvey pronounced sentence this
morning, the respondent made a pro-
nounced salaam and piped forth:
Thank We, yer honor, sir; thank We.
I kin stand on me head that length o
time and afterwards / kin sit on me
thumb, then ease meself in chair for a
while. Thank ye, sir; thank ye."
Judge Harvey acknowledge the appre-
