TELLS CORONER
 HE MET SLAYER OF MONDRZEvSKY

Witnesses called before Coroner John J. Phelan in the inquest being
 held over the death of Robert Mon
 drzevsky, of 437 Broad street, shot
 to death in his bedroom early Satur-
 day morning today testified that 8
 third man was seen running away
 from the scene with Q revolver in
 his hand
 Much mystery has developed over the manner in which the wounds were
 Garlicl has discovered one wound in
 the body which does not tally with the punetuFes in the scant garments
 worn by the dead man.
 With the testimony of another man
 and woman known to have been in
 the apartment shortly after the shoot ing, it is hoped that much of the con- f11cting statements now held by the
 police will be cleared up-
 It has been definitely. ascertained that but four shots penetrated Rob
 ,ert Mondrzevsky's body, three of
 which, fired at close range penetrated
 the chest and came out in various sec tions of the back and shoulder. One
 flesh wound. punctuflng the base of the left thumb was fired at g, greater distance.
 Thomas J. Blewett, a mechanic working at the Remington Arms & Ammunition Go. talked with the sup posed murderer as he ran away from the scene Rlewett was walking up Broad street from State street when 1 crime. He heard Joe Mondrzevslky, the wounded brother crying Rob bers!p seven or eight times in sue cession He was standing near his front doorway and evidently had been in pursuit of the murderer whom he 1 told Policeman Zhender he had eI1as- ed through a window The supposed murderer ran across the street to where BIewett was standing. whats the matter2' Blewett ask ed him.
 He gave the Interrogation a brief i glance and turned into the yard of the house at 450 Broad street. In his hand Blewett observed a glistening l object which he instinctively knew to be a gun and Blewett made no at- tempt at pursuit.
 Detective James Dooley in search ing the apartments where the mur- der occurred found two revolvers in a trunk and a box of 3s ealihre cart ridges which correspond to the empty shells found in the chamber where the shooting took place. The revo1- vers, cartridges, the shattered statue, i a blood-stained towel with finger prints the bIood-stained shoes. a win- dow shade through which one cart
 ridge pursued it's course and the 1 broken window catch are all at police to be used as evidence when the dis closures are made.
 Joseph Mondrzevslxy, brother of the l naureder man, and who is at St, Vim cents hospital with a bullet in his chest, now tells a, different story from
 that of Saturday. He then said that but three shots had been fired but he now admits that four or possibly | five were discharged.
 John Mondrzevsky, an older brother l who rooms across the hall from | where the shooting occurred said that he was in the house and asleep when ! the ambulance. arrived He denies
 having heard the shooting but he has Identified the derby hat with the in- scriptien 'fSteve,f as belonging to the dead man.
