struck over the head with an Iron bar ,
during a quarrel In the room In the Metro- J

Coroner Cutler yesterday caused a posi

Q arrl la the Room.
It is asserted the fatal blow wss struck
within a few minutes after Goettlng en
tered his room when he returned from
his work at the noon hour and found Lie
brock there. N.'P. Jorgenaen. proprietor
of the hotel, and Hans Petersen, a cook,
were In the kitchen, which adjoins the
room occupied by the Ooettings, and
heard the words spoken during the quar
rel and the thud of the blow from the
heavy poker. According to their story
told yesterday, the quarrel was of short
duration. They assert they heard Ooet
ting enter the room and immediately
after heard someone say:
"You get out of here." followed by a
woman's voice,- saying, "He don't have
to go unloas he wants to."
"Then I'll put him but," came the re
Joinder from the man who had first
spoken. This was followed Immediately
by -the sound o"f the blow.
The stories of Jorgensen and Petersen
coincided, with the exception thaT one
thought the command to get out was re
peated several times. A few mlnujtv
