WOMAN FIGHTS HARD FOR LIFE.
JanitOr Finds Wife Dead in Pool of
Her Own Blood.

New York, May 4.-Stephen Muhlner,
janitor of a fashionable uptown apart
ment house, returned home late last
night to find his wife, Annie, lying dead
in a pool of blood in the basement OF
the building.
The woman, bride of three months.
apparently had put up a terrific strug-
gle for life. Furniture was thrown out
of place and tufts of her hair, torn out
by the roots, were scattered over thu
floor. bloodstained knife was fouE3
in the open drawer of a cupboard a few
feet away from the body.
Tenants of the building had rung
their bells for her all the afternoon but
without response. They had heard no
sound of struggle, but one of them
had seen a man creep stealthily
through the yard towards Mrs. Null
early afternoon.
Detectives found that a door, unused
for years. had been forced from it's
rusty fastenings by the slayer. Mrs.
Muhlner had been dead many hours, q
physician declared, when her body was
found.
woman's comb and a button fur
nished a slight clue in the search for
the slayer. The comb picked up beside
the body did not belong to Mrs. Multi
ner, her husband said, nor was the but
ton like those used on any of her
apparel. A diamond ring was left on
the murdered womans finger, indicat-
ing robbery was not the motive for the
crime.
