 However, it is to be hoped that the marshal has learned this of his unnecessary alarm regarding strike, and that he will immediately rcscnd the order he nasty r issuing.

Police Think Nathan Pullman
Murdered Wife and Daughter
in Bronx Apartment.
MAN LATER PLUNGES
FROM HOTEL WINDOW
Retired Insurance Agent Dies
But Papers on Him Indicate He
Committed Crime.

NEW YORK, January e.
Police today identified the body
of a man who died in hospital
shortly after jumping from the
third floor of an uptown hotel as
that of Nathan Pullman, a retired
Chicago insurance agent, who was
being sought on the charge of
having murdered his wife, Mrs.
Rebecca Pullman, and daughter,
Mrs. Gertrude Bazel, in a Bronx
apartment yesterday. The man
died without regaining conscious
ness, but the police said they
found number of papers, notes
and letters in his clothing which
proved his identity, and later a
relative made the identification
positive. Three of the letters con-
tanned the phrase: "The wages
of sin is DEATH"
| Pullman registered at the hotel early
last evening as Mr. Jones and wife,"
telling a clerk that Mrs. Jones'
| would join him about o'clock. No one
went to the mans room. however. and
he was not seen again until his body
was found on the sidewalk.
Pullman was seen leaving the Bronx
apartment about four hours before the
bodies of his wife and daughter were
found. The skulls of both women had
| been crushed in with small Ratchet,
which was found under a bed.
In New York for Family Reunion.
| Friends said Pullman had come here
| from Chicago for a reunion with his
| family and was believed to have car
ried $4,000 in currency when he left the
apartment.
Police expressed the opinion after an
| investigation that the man had MUIR
dered the two women after suddenly
going insane. One letter found in Pull
| mans clothes. addressed to the news
papers and everybody" said:
| Goodbye, ia ia everybody. I guess
I will make good. I am going away
on long journey. Ia ia again and
| ia ia once more.
| In a rambling. disjointed manner the
writer advised the people mot to worry
| over these two" as they were now
| better off. and there is no good in
making a fuss over something that
can't be helped"
There was no signature to the note.
Bodies of Dead Found.
Occupants OF the house told the
police that Pullman left the apart
ment house at 3 o'clock yesterday.
! telling the landlady, whom he met in
the hall, that his wife was i'll and that
he was going for physicion. Four
| hours later, when Pullman had not re-
| turned, the landlady went to the rooms
occupied By the Pullmans and found
the body OF Mrs. Pullman on the bed
with her skull crushed.
| The body of Mrs. Bazell lay near the
door to the room, Indicating that she
| had been struck down as she entered
| evidently with the same Ratchet, which
was found on the floor nearby.
| After having lived in the Bronx for
| many years Pullman and his wife went
to Chicago to live three months ago
His home address there is given as
SO Langley avenue. Two weeks ago
they came here to visit their daugh-
ters Relatives of the Pullmans say they
lived happily together and are unable to
explain the double murder.
