wood, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Peter J.
Larkin, of South Brooklyn, observed
two girls or women being followed by
three roughs, of whom the women ap-
peared afraid, Harwood and his friend
spoke to them, and they walked togeth-
er until reaching ,Atlantic and Bond
streets, when the three men, who had
followed them, came up, and Harwood
said, 'What are you following us for ?'
Only a few words passed, when blows
were exchanged, and 'while Harwood
and Larkin defended themselves with
their fists, their assailants drew knives,
and slashed away at both. Harwood
was stabbed to the heart, and, running
a few feet, throw up his hands, ex-
claiming, 'I'm stabbed,' and fell dead
on the pavement. .Larkin hastened
forward to assist his friend, but when
stooping to raise him found he was too
weak to do so, and then for the firet
time discovered that he too bad been
stabbed. Two policemen, bearing the
alarm, came up, when Larkin pointed
