DIAMOND BROKER IS
KILLED III SEATTLE
A. Rehfeld Found in Office, in
Dying Condition, With Hunt
ing Knife Sunk in Back.
ASSASSIN MAKES ESCAPE
tftctlrn Dies in 2 0 Minutes but In
timates That Man to Whom Hn
Gave Receipt as N. li. Bailey
Was. His Assailant.
SEATTLE. April 19. A. Rehfeld, a
diamond broker with .offices on the
eighth floor of the Joshua Green build
ing at Fourth avenue and Pike street,
was found fatally stabbed in his of
fice this afternoon. Before he ffledlie
said that N. L. Bailey had atacked
him. The identity of Bailey has not
been learned.
Tenants of the Joshua Green bundl
ing say that Kehf eld's slayer had been
calling at the office almost" daily for
the past week or so. A memorandum
penciled on one of Rehfeld's business
cards Indicated that Just before the
stabbing he had given a receipt for
$50 to Bailey "on account of a diamond
ring." No one saw Bailey leave the
office. In his hurry he left behind
him a soft green felt hat and a new
overcoat. The size of the garments
proves that the murderer is a small
man, the police say. Presumably the
murderer left the building by a rear
fire escape. It Is said to be certain
he did not use either the elevators or
the stairway.
No Qnarreling Heard. '
None of several persons in adjoin
ing offices heard loud words or any
scuffle preceding a loud crash of
breaking glass when Rehfeld and his
assailant fell against the door at the
moment of the stabbing.
Rushing into the corridor, the other
tenants found Rehfeld staggering out
of the doorway of his office shouting
"I'm shot, I'm shot."
Even as he shouted Rehfeld col
lapsed and fell dying to the floor.
Those who reached him first removed
his coat and" in so doing pulled the
knife from Rehfeld's back. It
dropped to the floor at their feet, a
fine, leather-handled hunting knife
with a six-inch blade sharpened to a
razor edge. The long knife was plunged
full length Into hi3 back between the
shoulders and slightly to the left of
the spine, presumably penetrating a
large artery Just above the heart.
Death Comes Speedily.
Rehfeld was carried to the office of
a physician a few doors away. He
died in less than 20 minutes after be
ing stabbed. Owing to loss of blood
Rehfeld was not able to speak -when
carried to the office where he died, and
rallied but a few moments when ques
tioned regarding his slayer. He was
shown the receipt on the back of his
own card, and said that the man whom
he named In the receipt stabbed him.
Rehfeld did business under the name
of the Washington Brokerage Com
pany. He was a Syrian, of middle age.
An attorney who had represented
Rehfeld in some business matters says
that Rehfeld formerly dwelt In Bakers
field, Cal., where his parents now live.

SHERIFF IS ACCUSED
Deputy Says Officer Directed
Clubbing of I. W. W.
MEN, IN WATER, TARGETS
Charge Also Is Made That First
Shot In Everett Battle - Came
Fronx Posse on Dock, Deny
ing Sherltrs Story.
SEATTLE. Wash.. April 19. The
testimony of Sheriff McRae, as to the
Sheriff s part In the so-called Beverly
Park massacre, was contradicted ty
Fred Luke, one of McRae's right-hand
men, a snonomisn touniy ueyuiy
Sheriff and former candidate for the
office of Sheriff, who was the principal
witness at the afternoon session of
the trial ot Thomas H. Tracy, charged
with the murder of Jefferson Beard.
Luke declared that on October 30
McRae made the trip to Beverly Park
on the outskirts of the city with his
deputies and the 41 Industrial Workers
of the World who had been arrested
on their arrival at the city dock, that
he directed the gauntlet running and
beating to which the prisoners were
forced to submit, and did not leave
until the affair was entirely finished.
McRae's testimony, given during the
presentation of the state's case was
that he had gone out to the park, but
had left immediately after reaching
there, to go to a party In Everett.
Five Seen to Fall From Boat.
He declared that he had investigated
reports that the men had been brutally
used there, but had not found any
reliable evidence to that effect.
Fird Winkley, 18, who testified that
he saw the November 5 battle from a
nearby float, declared that five men
fell into the water from the boat and
that he saw four or five men firing
rifles at them from the east end of the
east warehouse on the dock.
On cross-examination he admitted
having talked with George Vanderveer,
of counsel for the defense, and that
Vanderveer had told him that the de
fense was trying to prove that the
Verona reached the dock at an angle.
This Is believed to be an important
point In the defense's case, as tending
to disprove the statement of four
witnesses for the state who declared
that they were able to identify Tracy,
the defendant, through a cabin window
part way down the-.side of the boat.
When questioned again by Vander
veer on redirect examination, he de
clared that his testimony on that point
on direct examination had been abso
lut 'ly true.
Frank A. Brown, an Insurance agent
of Everett, Wash., testified he saw the

peared to have come from the Sheriff's
men on the dock. The witness said
he saw five men fall into the water
from the decks of the steamboat

Mike Luney, a shingle weaver, testi
