Assistant Chief Of Police John Cyzak
who lives only short distance from
theS Nsuhauer home was one of the
firsepeople TO reach the house. @What
happened John?" he asked the wound
ed man when he saw he was desper-
ately wounded. Bruno shot me-"
Neubauer told the assistant chief. "He
shot his brother and now he has shot
me-" the wounded man moaned out
as he writhed in pain. A call had been
sent to the police office and officers
Meissner, Rock, Breidt and Schmitt
were at the house within few min
utes after the shooting. On the state
ment made by Neubauer two of the
officers were sent to the home Of
Bruno Gintoff with orders to hold him
while the other officers saw to it that
Neubauer was removed to st. Gather
ines hospital. DR.. Christopherson and
Dr. Palt were. called to attend him.
He was rushed to the operating room

Powder Burns on Sweater.
RegardlessI of. the story told by the
wounded man after the shooting the
police worked on the theory that he
had shot himself and after consider
able search thirty eight calibre re-
volyer with one chamber empty was
found in the roadway just about
twenty7three PAGES from where Neu-
bauer had been picked up by his son.
The description of the revolver ans
wered the description Of revolver
owned by Neubauer which had been
given by Frances Neubauer, daugh-
ter The sweater which had been worn
by Neubauer was badly powder burned
and it was evident that the shot had
been fired at a very close range. Neu-
bauer had been sought by the police
officers during the day and several
visits had been made to the house.
These visits had been made on ac-
count of the fact that investigations
of the district attorney had caused
the suspicion that Neubauer might be
able to give some facts in regard to
the killing of Kasimer Gintoff who
was found dead in his bed at the Neu-
bauer home September 80, 1918. The
killing of Gintoff had been shrouded
in mystery and only few days ago
formal order was issued in the Cir
cult Court for the disinterment of the
remains Of Gintotf, in order that fur
Their investigation might be made.
Finger of Suspicion Pointed at Him.
1t was admitted that the district at
torney who had made a deep investi-
CATION into the case had seen the fin
ger of suspicion pointing strongly at
Neubauer who was formerly partner
of Gintoff in the saloon business The
case had been deeply investigated and
the district attorney had become so
strongly impressed with the facts he
had discovered that he sought to have
the remains exhumed and a new in
quest called by the coroner. The re-
mains were to have been exhumed this
afternoon and the coroner's probe into
the killing of three years ago was to
have started tomorrow morning. Neu-
bauer was wanted as the main witness
before the jury to be called by the
coroner. It is believed that Neubauer
had been advised of this fact.
Neuhauer had recently been in
GAINESVILLE but itswas said at his home
that he had returned from Milwaukee
just few minutes before the shoot
ing took place. Only minute before
Neubauer was shot he had talked with
Police Officer Charles Amberlang. The
latter saw no one lurking in the vi
entity of the house.
questioned on Operating Table.
When Neubauer was rushed to the
hospital District Attorney Frank S.
Symmond was at once notified. The
district attorney was told that the
man had shot himself and was dying.
