money to live on and
cure himself. Later, however, she forgot about him. He
had received a letter from a friend in New York, stating
that his wife was living with Klatzko. He thereof wrote
a letter to her with a plea and wailed that she
shouldn't do it, not for him but for the sake of their
child. It didn't help. Sometime later she farfirt
a love with Goldberg. Klatzko was a jealous person and
she gestrashet.
Goldberg, who had lived on
225 South 4th Street in Brooklyn, was around forty years
old. He had a wife, but small children. Mrs. Shapiro's
husband is now in Chicago. They telephoned him about the
tragedy. A couple of days later the
hospital issued a report that Mrs. Shapiro is almost
entirely paralyzed.
According to N.B. Linder, in
an article sixteen hears after her death, about her
death, that:
"Klatzko had found
Goldberg, together with Mrs. Shapiro, in the dark
corridor of his, Klatzko's apartment, took them on
and killed both of them" (This is not the case. Goldberg
later passed away, and Mrs. Shapiro -- a short year
later). Klatzko spent more than fifteen years
settled in Sing Sing, and Linder, who had seen him after
his liberation, wrote about him: "He is a man who has
had many interesting experiences in his life, with an
interesting look at life."
S. passed away in difficult
economic conditions, so that the dresser (theatre
tailor) Groper, and the actor Kaner, took up a
money collection for her, which took in one hundred and
twenty four dollars, which covered the expenses of a
funeral and gravestone.
