LOT near b7o3 Second Avenue, Brook
iyn, Sunday, was when he visited a
grocery store and obtained drink,

She told the police that Hultauist had
been drinking in her place Sunday
night. This is q grocery store which
she and her husband, Phillip, operate
at b7O7 Second Avenue.
The woman is reported to have told
the police that Hulquist came to the
store alone, obtained drinks there and
uSPo .teu' oHe oecareG she knew
nothing of the fight which is thought
TO have resulted in his death shortly
after he left.
When officers searched the store
they. allege they found one bottle con-
tanning gin, one containing wine and
another holding whisky, secreted in the
rear. Pioio was not arrested.
Hultquist was In the army fourteen
