Feliaa will bs brought here next week to answer a charge of having struck the blow with the butt end of revolver, which last week caused the death of Joseph Havar- nek, a fellow countrymrn, and a boarding house keeper at East Lebanon, Fifth Avenue. The circumstan- Htances attending the daath of Havrnek, after six months of treatment hospital surgeons and other nhy- Iclans, has already been detailed In he News. At the time of the death the foreigner, the only informa- ion obtainable by the Coroner was the effect that Feljan, the man uposed to buve struck the blow, iad a six months' start on the au- horltles, and it being stated that the nan had left the country, it was de- ided to hold no inquest and thus ave tlic county expense.

This disclosed the fact that Havar- nek undoubtedly died from the ury to his head, the other organs of body being found in normal condition, and apparently in a meat lealthy condition when the man died OFFICERS ON THE ALERT, In the meantime County Detective Sattazabn and Chief of Police Zimnerman were employing every agen- kno'wn to modern police methods apprehend the man accused of striking the blow which caused Havarnek's death.

It is now learned that the information charging with assault and battery with intent to kill was made last November, though at that time it was not considered a case of fatal Injury. The search was prosecuted vigorously however, and at, several times Detective Sattazahn received encouraging replies to his inquiries, Indicating that Feljan was still in this H. E.
