Not since the U-53 entered Newport

found dead in yard of house in

The shot that killed Zlokas is be-
lieved to have been fired by another
foreigner who was probablysunder the
influence of liquor. Police found that
another bullet struck the door at the
home of Dmites Cordas. three houses

through the lower window sash at

it was fired from Second street. Zlokas

Zlokas, who lived forty-five minutes
after the shot was fired and who was
conscious until he died. told Chief of

that the shot was a stray one.
