Five hours later Testo arose to open his store. .\gain he heard the moans and this time he was sure they came from Fenger's room. He went into the place and found the old man. Pollce- man John Shanley, of the West Thirty- seventh street station, was called, sent in a summons for an ambulance and Dr. Ward responded from Roosevelt Hospital. The physiclan found that Fenger's skull was fractured, while his body was covered with bruises. He gent him to Bellevue Hospital and the Goctors there sald this afternoon that he could not recover. The attack caused great excitement in the neighborhood of Fenger's home, and a delegation called at the West Thirty- seventh street station and !nsisted that @ rigid investigation be conducted.

And then, once in a very great while, he would forget all about the patent medicines and the doctors and visit various men wearing white aprons and partake of certain Nquids which would loosen his tongue. It was at these times that he would boast of his “hoard.” and down Eighth avenue last evening and whenever he paused tn a saloon he would elaborate upon his nile fn one plaoe, Keep my door locked. 1 t People know me too well. No one would hurt old Herman Ienger.”’ The police believe that someone who overheard his boasting crept into his room and there waited for him with a jece of lead pipe.
