TWO MEN ARE
HELD CHARGED
WITH MURDER

After six months of freedom,
Charles Hliya, twenty years old, and
his landlord, or boarding boss" /"
Alexander Kuritz, forty-four years
old, both of Gil Charles street, were
arrested last night charged with
murder, and were held without bail
to await the action Of the grand
jury.
Their alleged victim was Charles
Holubinska, 26 years old, who
boarded with the two men, and who,
on the night of January 8, last, in a
row either fell or was thrown from
the second-story porch of the house
at 706 Charles street, their former
residence. The warrant for the ar
rest of the two men was issued on
complaint of Charles Holubinska,
Sr., through his attorney, Thomas
Brown. Stanislaus Sobocinski, of
Chffwood, was arrested last night as
witness, and held In $1,000 bail to
appear before the grand jury. The
men will be committed to the county
| Jail today.
Once before, on the day following
| the death of young Holubinska, Ku-
rity and Hliva weer arrested but be-
cause of the lack of evidence, they
were released on the request OF
Chief Burke, who said he was salts
fed that Holubinska's fall had been
accidental Not satisfied with the
action of the police, however, the
dead mans father retained Thomas
Brown. who has since, he says, been
! conducting an investigation, the re-
suits of which were sufficient to
cause Recorder Plckersgill to hold
the two men without bail.
'Sobocinski, who was called by the
lawyer last night, testified that he
was in the yard of the Charles street
house at the time when Holubinska
staggered out on the stoop and fell
to the ground, sustaining injuries
which later resulted in his death. He
said he saw three men, one Of whom
was Holubinska, stagger out on the
porch. Holubinska, he said, was
picked up bodily and was thrown
over the rail, landing on the ground
almost at his feet When questioned
by Mr. Brown, he said 1t was dark
at the time and he could not make
out the features of the men who
threw Holubinska from the balcony
Mrs Catherine Kazmarick, with
whom Sobocinski boarded, was pres
ent and volunteered the information
| that she had told Sobocinski tC
keep his mouth shut" under pen
/ atty Of being ousted from her house
and when he persisted in his inten
tion of informing the police, he saiC
she ordered him to leave.
i Since Mr.. Brown has been con
ducting his investigation, his one
stumbling block, he says, was in 10
eating Sobocinski Several months
ago, he learned that his man was OF
a farm in Red Bank. Later newi
reached him that he was in Mata
wan, but a search of each plac'
failed to reveal his whereabouts
Yesterday, the lawyer says, he 10
Gated him at Cliffwood at Harve,
Stilwagger's hotel, and taking tn
man unawares, induced him to com
to this city.
Both Kuritz and Hliva, while ap
parently too frightened last night t.
say much after being arrested AM
brought to police headquarters b,
Marshal Walters, had nothing to sa.
other than that they are not guilty
The police are Of different opin
ion from Mr.. Brown concerning tn
connection OF Kuritz and Hliva witt
the affair. Kuritz, they say, has al
unblemished reputation among for
eigners in the northern section o
the city. The men will probably b
taken to the county jail today.
