the dead woman, Mrs. Helen Louilhardt.
The dead man was John Loflhardt.
Ritter called at the Cerliss street
house Sunday to visit his sister and
could get no answer to knocks at the
door. He called again Monday, and
Tuesday, and today forced an entrance.
At first he found it impossible to get
more than a few feet inside the door
owing to the overpowerng Odor of gas.
Then he opened the windows and sum-
moned Policeman Applegate of the
Twenty sixth and York streets station.
The two finally got to the second floor.
They found the bodies in bed. Gas was
flowing from an open Jet. DR.. Louis
Heimer, of 24O4 North 32d street was
summoned. said the pair had been dead
for several days, probably since early

Ritter said he knew OF no reason why
his sister and brother-in-law should wish
to commit suicide. He believes they re-
tired leaving the gas burning, and the
wind blew 1t out. An investigation Is
being made by the police and Coroner's
office. Mr.. and Mrs. Lofihardt were each
about 80 years old. They had no children.
