Man Is Found Dead
In Negro Tenement;
Marks on Throat
Martin Sellers Strangled in
Opinion of Ambulance
Surgeon, but the Madical
Examiner Doesn't Agree

y white man sat cross-legged like
q tailor last night, leaning against the
stair rail on the second floor Of Il
negro tenement at 246 West Sixty
second Street. in the heart of the San
Juan Hill district. His head was bare.
but otherwise his colthing bore no
marks of drink or violence The flicker
ing gas in the hall seemed to impart
grotesQue motion to the figure now and
then, but in reality it sat motioness,
facing the doors Of the tenants on
that floor.
Joseph Anderson, jantor Of the
the silent figure. Anderson saw it
while he was making his rounds at
10 o'clock, turning out the lights in
the hall. There was no response to
his startled queries, and the negro
seized the white mans shoulder and
shook him. The body fell stifAy for
ward Oh its face and lay across the
narrow hallway.
The janitor needed no further in
vestigation. He fled the place at top
speed and came to his senses chatter
ing incoherentiY in front Of the desk
at the West SiXty-eighth Street po-
lice station. Detectives were sent to
the house The dead mans body still

balustrade and the wall.
The police found d hat, undented,
and marred only by 4 rim of dust
where it had rolled across the floor.
Every pocket in the mans clothes had
been turned wrong side out. Livid
finger prints on his throat convinced
the detectives and an ambulance sur
geon that the man had been strangled
to death.
Receipts and other papers in his
clothing indicated that he was Martin
Sellers, of West Eleventh Street. +
wallet containing $6 had escaped the
search. He appeared to be a man Of
about fiftyfive years, in good health
and robust. Yet there was not sign
of q struggle. Except for the out
turned pockets his clothing was not
dlsarranged.
The detectives set about the task Of
questioning every occupant Of the five
story building
DR.. Charles Norris, Medical Exam
lner, disagreed with the ambulance sur
geon and the police. giving it as his
opinion that the man had died nat
ural death. An autopsy probably VIII
be performed, however. There have
been two murders in that block within
week, the police said.
