Scene is Most Dramatic.

scenes ever witnessed in the history
of Kenosha. The operating room was
brightly lighted and here and there

work as the district attorney entered
the room.
"Listen to me, John, want to talk

"He told me that he had been shot

to the district attorney. "What? 2" the

| Gintoff Murder Mysterious.
The shooting Of Neubauer links up
with one of the mysterious cases in
the history Of Kenosha-the killing Of
Kasimer Gintoff.
! On the morning Of Septmber 80,
1918 Kasimer Gintof, who had been
partner of Neubauer in the saloon on
the north side was found dead in his
bed in a room adjoining the saloon.
In his left hand was revolver and he
was shot through the left temple. The
bed covers splattered with blood were
carefully tucked under his chin. At
the same time there were rumors of
trouble between the two partners and
they were of most sensational ma
ture. The night before his death at
dinner which he had given Gintoff
had told friends of quarrels he had
with Neubauer asserting that at one
time Neubauer had drawn gun and
shot at him. The bullet, he declared,
had missed its mark and had crashed
into the wall in Gintoff's room.
Mystery Long Unsolved.
For days the police officers and dis
trict attorneys sought to unrayel the
mystery surrounding Gintoff's death
but finally former Coroner H. c. Mil
lager issued death certificate say
ing he had died from a revolver shot
wound in the left temple" The case
went into the lumber room Of unex-
planned tragedies in the annals of the
Kenosha police department.
Only short time ago Bruno Gintoff
appealed to the district attorney for
a reopening of the examination and it
was on his urgent appeal and the SEN
satiohal statement he made to District
Attorney Symmonds that the body
was ordered to be disinterred. The
body it was said was to have been
brought to a local morgue and that
Neubauer was to have been brought
face to face with the dead in an effort
to get statement from him.
Neubauer's Life Stormy.
|. Neubauer has had a stormy life in
Kenosha and his saloon and park over
in the Racine avenue district has been
much in the limelight. It has figured
in many cases in the police court. It
was there that the police found Edna
Malloy whose delinquencies were re-
Gently under investigation by the fed
eral grand jury.
j Indictments were brought against
Neubauer and he was awaiting trial on
these indictments. He was also under
the fire Of the special grand jury in
Kenosha county and was expected to
have answered charges here of having
conducted disorderly house. It was
the contention of the police and the
4 federal officers that his place had been
rendezvous of the underworld which
had been attracted to Kenosha.
Charges of a most serious nature
were brought against Neubauer in the
\ local courts on account of his rela-
