KILLING WAS
 MOST HORRIBLE
Victim of Pretty Music Teacher and Her Jealous Admirer Dying in Bushes
 For A Eonrs.
SHOT HIM AND SLASHED HIS THROAT

Waterbury. Sept. 21.-Althcugh the closely around pretty Sophie Kritch- man and Joe Mitchell for the brutal staying of Bronick Kulivinski near the Union City line Friday afternoon, there are many features of the killing which the police have not been able to fully explain. Mitchell is cool and un- oner's questioning and says he wasn't emotional under the fire of the Cor near by when the crime was commit ted. The music teacher chatters away freely about the case and planes it all to Mitchell.
 The police haven't handled a case as brutal as this in many years and in Sophie Kritchman. the pretty music teacher and Mitchell her Jealous ad- mfrer. who are charged with the deed. believe they have captured two cold 24-year-old girl believed to have gone to the scene of the murder to end the life of Kulivinski but three times fail ed. Five bullets were first fired at the girls side. The bullets did not\> kill and on Friday night the police believe that the girl stole back to the thicket and cut Kulivinski's throat with razor. But that was not the end for the rugged Lithuanian fought death stubbornly. On Saturday the murder CTS returned to the secluded place and again pierced the victim with bullets. Yet he did not die. He lay all night without water or care his blood flow ing slowly away and kept his courage and his presence of mind until help came and he had told the story of how the girl he loved and the Jealous man had lured him into the woods and shot him.
 Sophie Kritchman sits alone and dejected in the police station. At first her air was not troubled and she did not appear to worry over her plight. But nervousness crept over her yesterday afternoon and she said, You wouldn't believe I would com init murder. would you? We'll don't think I would. Os isn't this awfuli Why did go back to that terrible place? It is lonesome here and am worrying about my poor people down home.'
 The police believe that it was for the roll of $200 in Kulivinski's pockets that he was 1ured up through Spring street in Union City to a secluded spot west of Platts Mills and there riddled with bullets and slashed with a razor blade. But the money was left un- touched.
 o'clock on Friday afternoon. was cut late Friday night and was shot again on Saturday morning. All this while he lay moaning in the bushes. He HVeu tnrousn IL all uHIH SdIuIudy night when ne died at the Waterbury hospital.
 From bits of conversation the po- lice have wormed from the Kritchman girl. it is supposed that she and Mitch ell after the first revolver attack on the victim found that he was still alive and were afraid to touch him while he lived. On going back a sec ond time on Friday night it is thought that the same fear kept the Kritch- man girl from taking the money and went to see their victim a third time, his moans of pain and faint cries for help again put so much fear in them that they were afraid to approach the bleeding body.
 Sophie Kritchman has. it was stated last night, made confession in which she says that Peczinitis and she plan ned the attack upon Kulivinski Thurs day evening.
