1 shot from the side, perhaps as he was turning around to greet his visi- tors. It is possible the one which hit him in the back was shot before l he turned around, the one in the side | came next, the one in the sternum l third and the fourth in the chest. No burns were found around any of l the wounds. This fact indicates l that the gun was held more than twelve inches away.
 StrangIcd Before Death. The slip moose was of heavy bind l ing twine and had been drawn tight ly around the neck. It was the opin- l ion of Dr. Bunce that Father Zebris ] was strangled after he was shot, but before he had died. Medical Ex-
 aminer Wright was present during l the autopsy.
 Cut Not Bullet.
 The examination of Mrs. Gilman revealed no other marks of violence 1 except the marks left by the strands 1 of cord around the neck, the wound in the arm and a slight discoloration of the eye. Two larger strands and one smaller were found about her neck. The wound in the arm was just below the right elbow
 on the thumb side of the arm and was a triangular cut three quarters by one-half inch. A confirmatory autopsy was made of the body to determine whether any internal in
 juries had been received
 The finding of the steel bullet made unnecessary any further examination of the remains or a detailed exami-
 nation of the organs.
 Mysterious Stranger on Star St. Bruno Wasowitz, a Star street Lith- uanian, attaches great significance to a visit paid him early Monday morn ing by a mysterious stranger who in-
 sisted on him leaving the house and coming out on the sidewalk to talk The stranger appeared at the Was owitz home about o'clock in the l morning and announced that he want ed to speak to Wasowitz. The latter stood at the head of a flight of stairs leading to his tenement and started tc question his visitor, who had hts coat collar up and his hat pulled down over his eyes. Wasowitz could get no
 satisfaction from the stranger and told him to go away if he did not care to make known the nature of his err rand. The unknown departed. Rojnowski Interviewed. Rev Father Lucyan BojnowsI1i,
 pastor of the Polish Catholic church that has been the scene of so many disturbances in the past, was inter- viewed this morning and asked
 whether or not he had received any at nf lot Ia laughed and replied that the last
 threat he received came year ago
 this time after his church had been desecrated and he had f1ayed the cul- prits from his pulpit
 In his speech to his congregation Father Bojnowski at this time scored the rabid socialists, the anarchists and the l. w. w. and he believes it
 was from some one affiliated with
 them that his threats came.
 Priest Receives Letter.
 But before this time, the priest ex-
 plained, he received letter from
 some one interested in organizing the
 Independent church. Accompanying
 the letter was a circular stating that
 a mass meeting was to be held for
 the purpose of organizing an indepen- dent church and the writer concluded by saying: T beg you to be present
 at this meeting' Of course Father
 Boin owski did not attend the
 meeting and a short time af-
 rewards he received the threat against his life. He compared the penmanship on his first letter with the one on the threat and found them to be identical, proving that the
 same man wrote both letters. An
 other letter received by the clergy
 man was addressed by an evident
 Polish man but the text was written
 ill English giving the priest the suspicion that the Polish Independent who has been writing the threats had
 enlisted the aid of an Englishman or better educated foreigner.
 Asked if he feared the people so
 mysteriously leagued against him.
 Father Bojnowski laughed: "Abso-
 lutely, mo-" 1T am not afraid of
 them and I say so publicly from my
 pulpit. When a man is afraid of an-
 other it gives his enemy more power
 over him but I am not afraid of
 them,' he said
 At the time the letters were re-
