1'oener, of 56 Lino street, with thre?
ugly wounds in the back of the head
evidently inflicted with a large slat

y wounded man was rushed to th?
hospital In a police ambulance, bu
lied from hemorrhage and a fractured
skull at 1.19 o'clock P. M. A
! rifled cash drawer found in the real
of the premises, and the disappear'
ance of several articles and valuables
from the store, led the police tc
believe that the motive for the murder
was robbery.
The killing caused a sensation
throughout the city, especially among
the J* wish population in the upper
part of town. A number of friends
of the dead mau have offered a reward
of $.*>00 for the capture of th?
guilty party.

first came to discover Lubelsky lying
on the floor of his own store. He
stated to the police that he entered
the establishment at about 11.30
o'clock, in company with his little
daughter, to whom he wished tc
show some chickeus and pigeont
which he had sold Lubelsky
several weeks ago. Finding th'
store apparently deserted, Posnei
walked into the yard iu search ol
his friend. He came back and took
a s* at is the middle of the store
-suddenly his eyes beheld a stead)
stream of blood running towards bin
I from beneath a counter on the op^
[ poslte side of the store, and upoi
examination hi- fouud Lubelsky iu i
half sitting posture between the sec
ond and third counters. He trlec
to get the wounded man to talk, bu
was unsuccessful, and Immediately
went in search of assistance. A ohv
slclan arrived ou the scene In aiis
wer to a hurry summons, and wdj
followed Immediately by officers.
The wounded man was sent to thi
hospital in a police ambulance, tiev
<*ral doctors took up the work of at
tempting to save his life, but all el"
forts proved to be useless, and hi
died in about one hour's time with

John Cross?, a driver for a city ex
press concern, delivered a box of dr;
goods to the I.ubolsky establish men
at e bo lit 11.15 o'clock, placing ?h
box in front of the store. Cross tbei
went inside for the purpose of hav
ing his book receipted for the goods
and was met by a negro, who tol?
him that he. the porter, had beei
left in charge of the establismen
while Lubelsky had stepped acrosi
the street. After a several minutes
wait. Cross left, stating that he woult!
be iii again for the purpose of hav
