Ryan, who had been about to leap to

committed suicide. The three bodies
were found by the police short time
later, with revolver lying on the floor
beside Nichols.
Mrs. Kluza was a widow. Nicholss
wife had not lived with him for some
time, and this, together with the fact
that he was recently discharged from
his position and had been unable to
find work, is thought to have deraneed
his mind.
Nichols shot the woman as ahe s.+

then went to the bedroom and shot the
child, who was asleep, and immediately
afterward killed himself.
Neighbors who heard the shots tel

was policeman and somebody had tolt
him she was drowning.
"l'll show you I'm telling the truth,
said he, going to his uniform coat with
the intention Of displaying his shield.
The shield was gone. Some one had
stolen it while he was struggling with
opportunity. The young woman was
looking over his shoulder, and she, too
saw that there was no shield on the
coat. She was threa tening to have him
arrested as an imposter when Burke
thought Of Ryan.
"Hey, Denny" said he, "tell this lady
Pm cop.'
Hes cop, lady" Ryan responded
dutitully.
"And who are you?" demanded the
young woman.
Hes a cop, too," replied Burke
The young woman averred she was
going to see about that and started
around the lumber pile. Around the
opposite end came Ryan, clutching his
trousers, his shoes and his coat.

Burke, "head her off till l hiaa some
place where l can put ME pants on"
He dived beneath the boardwalk as
he spoke and Burke interposed his
body when his pursuer was about to
follow. She consented to wait until
Ryan emerged, and expressed some sur
prise to find that he really did have q
police shield.
She was Ida Van Chef, she said, and
she lived at Buschman's Hotel on
Kensington Walk and frequently took
a swim just before going to bed
