Stories of Injured Man and Witnesses Strengthen
 New Line.

That Robert Mondrzevsly, who was shot to death early Saturday morning, and his brother, Joseph, who is in St. Vincent's hospital with revolver wounds in the chest and head, might have engaged in duel is the theory on which the police are working to- day. Coroner Phelan and Detective Sergeant Cronan went to St. Vtncent,s hospital today and took a statement from the wounded man but both the coroner and the detective refused to make it public.
 It is known, however, that Mon drzevsky told an entirely different story from that which he first told the police regarding the shooting Today he said there were two men in his room instead of one as he first claimed and that a short time ago he had been threatened by two Russians. A derby hat and a cap were found in. the room where the shooting occurred Joseph MOndrzevsky has denied ownership of them, but his brother, John, who lives across the hall at 437 Main street, has identified the cap as belonging to Jo- seph and the derby hat to his other brother, Robert, who is dead

 The theory on Which the police are now working is that Robert, now dead. had entered his brothers room, shooting at him as he came. Two bullets, which missed, were found lodged in the par1or wall in a diDect line from where the elder Mondrzev- sky might have stood. The second shot struck Joseph and made, the wound in his chest according to the police theory. Then according to this theory, Joseph grapp1ed with Robert and in the struggle for the revolver, the fourth shot was fired grazing Joseph's head. There is a scared line on the under side of the peak of the cap on a direct line to the wound in Joseph's head.
 Joseph, the theory goes. gained pos session Of the revolver and fired the last cartridge into the body Of his brother Then, some thi1K, he re- loaded the weapon and as his brother lay prone and helpless on the floor Of the bedroom he sent three more bullets Into the brothers body. In the theory is, he dropped several cartridges into the blood on the floor which had oozed from his own and his brothers wounds. His reloadtng the revolver would also account for the empty shells found on the floor. Neither the police nor the coroner would comment on this theory today.
 Peter Gaiewnki of 367 Main street, told Coroner Phelan today that he was reading at the window of his room when he heard the shots and shouts and he saw a man in a crouch ing position run through the back yard He could not identify the man. A South End saloon keeper has also told the police that he saw a. man running along Main street af- ter the shooting and that he had a revolver in his hand.
 Joseph Moudrezsky claims that he came home and found a man under his bed That the man came out and shot him and shot his brother as the latter was coming to his as- sistance. Coroner PheIan expects to make a report to the police tomor- row As yet neither the police nor the coroner has any theory as to what caused the quarrel between the broth CTS
