 The story of bravery of two boys who were themselves racing death at the hands of Victor Lipponen, Brook lyn's heinous murderer, featured the opening of Corengf Arthur G. Bill $ in quest treatiye to the affair that shocked the country.
 Testimony given by Charles E. Ray,
 Il, son of d woman that has battled so bravely for life at the Day kimball hospital for the past ten days, and
 by Stephen J. Ritter, F, son of Christian c. Ritter, who was savasely killed with an axe by Lipponen, shows
 that these boys have the stout hearts of brave men and did their best to protect their parents from the awful fate meted out to them by Lipponen. Stephen Hitter and his sister, Ce- celia, 14, told the coroner of how they witnessed the atrocius killing of their
 fataer by Lipponen and how the mur-
 derer chased Cecelia, but could not
 catch the f1eet-footed little girl. From Stephen Ritter the corone4, learned that the boy, seeing his father brutal
 ly murdered, rushed into the Ritter home and seized his fathers gun, but by the time he had returned to the yard Lipponen had ceased his fruit
 less chase after Cecelia and had jumped onto his bobsled and driven out Of gunsifot It was out of tae question for the determined boy to
 try to keep pace, through the deep snow in which Lipponen was driving
 fway.
 Little Charlie Ray, too, d.d his best to save his mother and sister vino died of her wounds, from the Nild at tack of Ldpponen Charities effort to get his fathers rifle from a.room near the kitchen, wnere the women were attacked, nearly cost him his own life, for, he told the coroner, Dipponen made a terrific swing at laim with the axe and barely missed him. Determined as the boy was to protect his mother and sister, he was driven off by the madrnan before he could get the rifle with which he had hoped to bring the murderer to a quick end. When Charlie d.d escape from the house he made his way to the Stalker home, a short distance away.
 As showing how ferocious dppon- en was at the time he was engaged in killing, the inquest W hich is not yet completed, developed the fact that he tried to kill the dog at tae Ritter place and did bring blood from the animals side with a swing from the axe that barely gTazed it's hide.
