One test will come tomorrow

Woman Killed

NEW YORK. May 10 (P.-An
elderly woman was crushed to
death today when a three-story
brick tenement building COL
lapsed with a terrific roar on the
lower East Side.
The victim. dug from the
debris. was identified as Mrs.
Anna Levkulic. who had occupied
a second-fioor apartment. A
Catholic priest who administered
last rites said she had attended
mass this morning and made an
offering in honor Of st. Anthony
that she be enabled to obtain a
new apartment.
Two Men Cheat Death
Two men escaped death. One
rode the debris down from his
third-fioor apartment - and
emerged on top. The second took
time to dodge into his room for
a suitcase even as the building
shuddered-and still got away.
Allan Thompson. about so. who
had been on the third floor. was
found atop the rubble. His arm
and a leg were broken and he
suffered possible internal in
juries.
The only other tenant in the
building at the time was John
Sabryga, 68. He was unhurt.
Martin Scott. chief fire mar
shall. said registered letters went
out Friday to tenants Of the
building advising them to move
as the building was dangerous.
Cracks Are Noted
Marshal Scott said tenants re-
ported to Mrs. Anna Sauerhoff,
president Of the Wasser Realty
Corp, owner Of the building,
that they noticed cracks in the
building. He said she had q con-
tractor examine the structure
and. when he reported the build
ing was in danger. she notified
the tenants to leave.
Marshal Scott said the occu-
pants told Mrs. Sauerhoh they
would not leave until she found
