When Barnes rapped on his door Discullo burst forth swearing. Barnes, a much smaller man, fled to his flat and from the window blew a police whistle, Mrs, Margaret Daly, sixty-five, whose ankles have been broken so she noves with difficulty, heard the noise in the basement apartment and went upstairs, but Discullo turned upon her 50 angrily she hurried down again. The cook’s wife and the janitress, Mrs. Catherine Hirschberger, went into the hall to attempt to quiet the man. They say two men, unknown to them, entered and Discullo at- tacked them with an icepick. When Patrolman Ward arrived the two frightened women were support- ing Discullo’s body, with the throat cut. Men and weapon had vanished, nor would anyone accurately describe them.
