SAID IT WAS ATOBNTAL A IV.ollnr Combination of Cfrcam.tsnoe. Which Kiclle. treat Intrr.nt In Iho Ctf.e Tho Corp.. Abandoned by tho Family Utcttms of Atlittliin. Matthew J. Andrukaitis, aged 48 years, wns killed by a pistol shot wound at tho oflloo of Dr. Szlupas, ou South West street, ou Saturday. All Investigation thus far made seems to confirm tho statements made immedi ately after the accident happened, includ ing a statement by the victim, that An drukaitis died from tho effects of a wound accidentally inlllcted by his own hand. Shortly after two o'clock Saturday afternoon there was excited rapping upon the olUco door of Dr. S. M. Fetzer, which is located almost Immediately opposite the office of Dr. Szlupas. The person giv ing tho alarm was n tall, well-built ntui whito bearded and white haired man who subsequently proved to be a person known as Father Deuiskt, The man could not mako himself distinctly understood. IIo is a Lithuanian, an ex-priest of theltoman Catholic church, and has been making his home with Dr. Szlupas. Father Demski, as he's called, succeeded by gesticulations nnd such intelligible language as he could command, that a very serious accident had occtired at Dr. Szlupas' residence, that the immediate attendance of u physician or surgeon was required. Dr. Fetzer responded and found a medium sized man with a heavy. irllv beard writhing upon the floor of one of me apartments on tne nrst story of tho houso in great aizouv. Tin' blood upon the floor, but the victim pointed spasmodically to his throat. Drs. Hochlerner and Woomer, the latter an eye onu ear specialist, subsequently responded to the ularm, and Dr. frizlupns was summoned from the business portion of tho town, whero ho had been making purchases. Dr. Fclzer was asked to take immediate charge of the case and proceeded to make an examination. He found that there was a bullet wound in the throat hidden by the heavy beard. Ho proceeded to nrob the injury aud reported that the bullet had entered in tho centre of the tnront, nau passed below the right clavical, or collar-bone, and, apparently, had dropped Into tho upper lobo of tho ngui. mug. At first the wound did not annenr tn l, a fatal one. In fact, when nliEliALP re porter called at tho house ot about 4:40 o'clock he was told that It was not thought the wound was dangerous, In the absence of blood poisoning; but shortly after 5 o'clock Dr. Fetzer was again sum moned and, after a consultation, in which Drs. Fetzer, Hochlerner nnd Szlupas were engaged, it was stated that the wound would probably provo fatal. Tho Injured man liugered until 10 p. m. The only statement secured from the victim, so far as the reporters have been ablo to ascertain, is that Andrukaitis stated in the presence of a witness that the shooting was accidental and hud been lnuicieu uy nts own bands. Dr. Szlupas made this statement to a IlEHALD reporter Saturday afternoon : "Andrukaitis was a dear friend of mlno. At about noon tn-dnv hp rmllfxl nr office and wo had a very pleasan t chat. It was ngreed that in the afternoon we should toko a walk in the woods, and my wife and myself started down town to matte some purchases. I wanted to buy a suit of clothes. When my wife anil my self went we left Andrukaitis and Father Demski In charge of the house and of my children. Thev were to await 1 did not learn anything until after tho snooting, it is not a case of suicide, but purely accidental. In all the conversa tion I had with Andrukaitis hnfnrn T lufr. the house there was nothing in speech or ncuuu iu leuu me to neneve that he con templated suicide : in fact, hn cheerful. From what I have been able to learn he saw my revolvor on the high shelf of a medicine case in my middle room and attempted to take it down. It was very high, almost as high as I can lunch, (Dr. Szlupas is much taller than the deceased) nnd I do not see how he reached it at all ; hut he evidently got hold of It and the revolver was dis charged, tne bun entering his throat." When asked about the family connec tions of the Injured man Dr. Szlupas said a son, aged 15 years, had responded to the alarm, hut he (Dr. Szlupas) had decided not to allow the victim to be removed from his house until he had recovered, if a re covery could be secured. At this point Dr. Szlupas commenced to prepare for use some absorbent gauze, which heovidently intended usIul' in dresslm? the u-nmiil The IIi:i!ALI reporter lollowod the doctor into tho middle room of the first floor suit, whero the victim wns In n sit ting position ou a cot. The victim ap peared to be perfoctly con-clous, though suffering great p"aln. Upon Dr. Szlupas assurances that there was no immediate danger the reporter withdrew. There has been no oaso in town in sev eral years which has aroused so much inierest, and In Justification to Dr. Seiupns and Father Demski there should be n full Investigation. It is said Chief of Police O'Haro asked that an official be sent at the lust moment to take the ante-mortem statement of the deceased, but owing to a difference of opinion as to whose duty it was to take such a statement the request was not complied with. It Is quite certain, however, that shortly after the accident happened the victim stated that he had shot himself acci dentally. The interest elicited over the case Is duo to the fact that the deceased was nn atheist. Dr. Szlupas does uot claim to be an atheist, but a Lithuanian op posed to the doctrinesof the Komau Cath olic church of his people. Father Demski, the man left lu the house with the de ceased and tho children, is alleged to be an ex-priest making his home with Dr. Szlupas nnd engaged in writing a book against the iionian Catholic church. Dr. Szlupas occupies the house at No. 125 South West street. Tho office proper faces on West street; the room immedl nlnlp in Mm lu 1, n I.. .l.ll. tl. 1 medicine case, similar to tho.o found in drug stores, is located; and the far rear nnd only otherroom on the floor is used as n kitchen. l'ather Demski is said to havo been placing with the children when tho de ceased reached for the revolver. It Is said that any curiosity on the part of t he deceased would not have excltod nny suspicion, because he was a frequent and welcome visitor to the house. Dr. bzlups says that the revolver was left upon the shelf as a matter of con venlcnce when he should bo called out at night to respond to calls. It wns nn Kng llsli bull-dog revovler of 1)2 cnllbre, of six chambers, and but ono chamber was loaded. This t he doctorasserts positively. Shortly before the victim tiled his daughter, who Is obout20 years of age, volunteered to summon Hev. Abromnltls, pastor of tho St. George's Lithuanian Homun Catholic church, but tho dying man protested with an oath and died without spiritual consolation. For this reason, It Is said, tho corpse hns been nhnndoned by the relatives, and when a reporter called nt Dr. Szlupas' residence yesterday afternoon ho was In formed that Dr. Szlupas would in all probability be obliged to look after tho burial, as tho widow and children had become offended at tho dying declaration. Adruknltis lived on Dowers street with his wife and three children, a daughter aged nbout CO years, a son about 15 oud a daughter nbout 13. There Is no question that the statement of accidental injury can be established by a reputable ami respected lady of town, but there nro other statements attributed to occupants of the house which warrant a full Investigation of the case. Audrukaltis was a well-known character In tho town, because of his advocacy of atheism. He had resided hero for about eighteen years and was a miner by occupa tlon. He had been a resident of this country for many years nnd before com ing to Shenandoah lived and worked in the surrounding patches. It Is sold his parents were well-to-do people In his natlvo land, but ho did something which oaused them to cut off his revenue.
