Waterloo Mystery Clears After Police Questioning

Fleeing Youth Gave Self Up

Suicide of Brother Unknown When He Surrenders at Drayton

An inherent fear of police prompted Gerald Jim Michalofsky, 20, to flee last night after his brother, Earl, 18, had been found fatally shot at his Waterloo boarding house shortly before 6 o'clock. The case provided a mystery which engaged Waterloo and provincial police until well past midnight.

Michalofsky gave himself up to Police Chief W. C. Lee at Drayton a few hours after he fled. Brought back to Waterloo by Police Chief C. E. Moreau, he was released at 1.20 this morning after an hour and a half of questioning by police. At the questioning were Inspector Clem. Jordan, County Constable Albert Whitesides. Constable Gordon Hayes, Chief Moreau and Dr. A. L. Wellman. Dr. Wellman said there I would be no inquest.

BOARDING IN WATERLOO

The brothers have been boarding with their brother-in-law, Marvin Meyer, 41 Noecker street. Meyer found the body of Earl slumped against the rear door in the kitchen of his home as he returned from work. A shot gun with an empty shell lay across his still form. The shot apparently had been fired with the gun against his chest. Mrs. Meyer, the victim's sister, had been absent from the home during the afternoon.

Meyer notified police. Constable Morris Seaman responded and summoned Police Chief Moreau. Upon the chief's arrival Meyer phoned the brother, Jim. not telling him why he was wanted, but instructing him to come home at once. He had "punched in" at 3 o'clock at the Goodrich Rubber Company.

In answer to the call he left work and arrived in his car at the home about 6.20 p.m. Seeing Meyer, he beckoned him to come to the car. Meyer beckoned him to come into the house. Michalofsky had backed his car preparatory to turning around. Observing this, Chief Moreau stepped to the doorway. Seeing the chief Michalofsky sped away without a word. Constable Seaman and a motorist gave chase but Micholfsky eluded them.

PASSED THROUGH TWICE

Without knowledge of where he was going, he went out through Bridgeport and Bloomingdale and Winterbourne. He drove over 100 miles, passing through Drayton twice before giving himself up to Chief Lee about 8.30. He returned to Waterloo at 11.40 with Chief Moreau. Before Chief Moreau at Drayton,
Michalofsky, retiring and mild-mannered, admitted telling Chief Lee "First thing I know I'll be charged with murder." He was not informed of his brother's death until he was questioned by police in Waterloo.

BOUGHT CAR RECENTLY

His fear of police was increased when he responded to the urgent summons home and found the officer there. He told police he feared he had committed some violation of the traffic regulations. He purchased the car only two months ago.

It was learned that he had shown signs of this fear last summer when he was about the house and an officer came to serve a summons in the neighborhood. Seeing the officer he quickly disappeared.

Fleeing Youth Gives Self Up

He informed officers that after his night, he had realized he should not have left and would have returned but for the fact that he was nearly out of gas and did not have sufficient funds with him to procure more. Accordingly, he had gone to police, remarking that he apparently was wanted in Waterloo. His peculiar statement to Chief Lee was just a passing remark prompted by his excitement, he declared. Finger prints were taken in connection with the case today.

Meyer had assured police of a friendly relationship between the brothers. While he knew of no despondency on the part of the deceased. Michalofsky said his brother had been somewhat moody of late and had said he would be "better off dead." He had been unemployed for a few weeks. He was the son of Fred Michalofsky of Kitchener.

Coroner Dr. Wellman, who was called after 6 o'clock, said the boy had been dead only a short time.. "He had not been lying there very long." he declared. It was believed death had occurred not more than an hour previous to the coroner's arrival.

Surviving the victim are his father, four brothers, Gerald of Waterloo, Ralph. Willard and Donald of Kitchener, two sisters, Mrs. M. Meyer and Mrs. F. Kropf, both of Waterloo.

Funeral services will be held from the home of his sister. Mrs. M. Meyer, 41 Noecker street, Waterloo, Friday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock to Waterloo Mount Hope Cemetery for interment.
