C0B0LER, MISSING
FOUR DAYS, FOUND
DEAD IN HIS SHOP
Nathan Goldstein Discovered by
Friends Lying Lifeless Among
Scraps on Workroom Floor.
DIED IN EPILEPTIC FIT

With the discovery of tn dead body
of Nathan Goldstein, q cobbler, 4l5 West
Second street, yesterday afternoon, after
he had been missing for four days, n
search began for q ghidden hoard of
81 900. believed to be concealed in the
little shop. The cobbler had be- n missing
since Monday He was found lying along
the leather shayings on the floor Of his
workroom yesterday afternoon by friends
A coroner's jury, which sat in the case
last night, brought in verdict that
Goldstoin came TO his death through suf-
location, resulting from an epileptic fit.
The authorities do not think there was
foul play. Goldstein was known TO have
been an epileptie.
Neighbors believe that Goldstein had a
large sum OF money concealed about the
premises He was said TO have been of a
frugal disposition, although he had a fair
income. According to the neishbors,
Goldstein was cautious about placing
money in banks, and although he de
posted certain amount of his earnings,
they think that he always added to the
little hoard concealed in his shop, as a pro-
vision against emergency, or the failure
of the bank.
A preliminary search disclosed bank
book showing deposits of $1,000; an in
surance policy for 81 900, made in favor
of his wife. Nina Goldstein, and s17 in
the cash drawer. The coroner was not
inclined 20 believe the idea about hidden
money when he saw the book indicating
deposits had been made in bank,
although he felt bound TO make thorough
search.
Goldstein was IS years old. His sfriends.
nlar at {tSa
sion TO peer through the keyhole. The
sight they saw caused them to summon
'Patrolman Charles West and Andrew
Devinney, who broke into the shop at 5
o'clock.
According to the neighbors, Goldstein's s
wife, the beneficiary of the insurance
policy. is dead. A sister is said TO live in
Elizabeth, n. j.. and she is being traced
by the police. During his many years in
this city. Goldstein lived alone. The
funeral wilEbe held TODAY.
