Now York, April 20.- In a dingy little four -roost flat in the Tenderloin yesterday afternoon there occurred a three cornered tragedy tangled as the police of New York have not had to deal with in a long time. The net results of the mystery are a little Swedish woman, dead from strangulation, a stranger with his throat cut and a second man with three big gashes in his side. For two years Charles Berger, a young tunnel worker has lived on the first floor at No. 125 West 28th street with his common-law wife, Kate Pal- ter. Three weeks ago he got smashed up in an accident in the McAdoo tun- nel and since has been laying off. That was why he came back to his flat in the middle of the afternoon in- stead of staying away until dark. A tall man was Mending at the dresser in the trout room, with his back to the door, working ata drawer. According to his story, the intruder leaped about and then mule straight at hint and brandishing a big bread knife, which has subsequently been identified as one of the kitchen fur- nishings of Berger's own apartment. Berger tried to back away but the attaok came too suddenly. Before he could break free from his murderous assailant and tumble backward out into the hall he had been cut three times in the left side. Yelling at every step Berger ran and notified Policeman Houston who went band to the apartment. Houston, pulled his gun and pushed into the darkened first floor flat, Looking through the vista of half opened doors he saw a dark shape sprawled on the floor across the thres- hold of the kitchen. It was the mysterious stranger, gasping and unconscioue with his throat ripped wide open. A little bit of a bedroom, opening off to one side of a front room, hall on and half off the bed was Kate Paulter hall dress- ed and dead. A dampened towel was twisted so tightly''about her throat that it had bcoma hand roe that bit through into the swollen ile h. Her eyes were staring, wide open, her face was dis- torted and purple,. She had been strangled slowly. The interior of the flat was a mixed up mess of confusion. P-wo of the beds had been pulled to pieces and the mattresses had been torn apart as if hurried, eager fingers had search- ed between them for hidden wealth. Every corner had been ransacked. Berger claimed he had never seen the man with the slit throat before. The supposed murderer was a dark man of medium height, apparently about fifty years old and fairly well dressed. Berger who went along in the same ambulance to have his wounds dressed, was put under arrest 'there by order .of Captain Farrell. THE UNDER WORLD.
