A patrolman killed the cat with his stick. Mrs.

Florence Hatfield, 41, had lacerations of left ankle and Elizabeth, 22, athe Mary, 20, were injured on legs. Elizabeth, the first attacked, went to the basement from the third floor apartment shortly before 3:30 o'clock. The cat sprang at her and inflicted a deep bite in her leg. Her screams attracted the other women and the cat shifted its attack to them. They finally escaped after Hazel brought the broom into play.

Patrolman Robert McManus found the cat under a couch. He snared it with twine and pulled it out before killing it.

Plans were being made today to take his body to Germany on the Europa, which sails from Pier 58th shortly after midnight. Johnsen developed appendicitis last Saturday, when the Europa was on her way to Brooklyn. On Sunday he was operated by Dr. H. Bisping.

On Sunday afternoon his heart caused concern. Two Other Operations Monday afternoon the Commodore was removed from the Europa, which had docked. At the sanitarium an intestinal operation was found necear essary and a third operation was performed to permit air to reach the earlier incisions, which had developed gangrene. Commodore Johnsen used to like to say that the best years of his life came after he was 50. At that age, just after the World War, he was a man without hope.

Before the war he was captain of the North German Lloyd liner Kronprinzessin Cecilie, which, until the coming of the Mauretania, was the blue-ribbon holder of the Atlantic. During the war he had run supplies through the British blockade. But when Germany lost her fleet at the end of the war there seemed no opening for him. For a while he was at home, idle. Then the North German Lloyd gave him the command of the Gruessgott, less than 1,000 tons, in an overnight run between Svenemuende and Danzig.

Rose With Revival When the North German Lloyd began to build new ships Commodore Johnsen commanded the over, the Karlsruhe and the Columbus. He personified the reviving German merchant marine. When the Europa was on the ways, everyone knew she was his. Then the Europa had a fire, and the Bremen was launched ahead of her sister ship to startle the world with a new transatlantic speed record. In March, 1930, the Europa made her maiden voyage, eclipsing the best time of the Bremen.

At Sea When 14 Commodore Johnsen was born in Gross-Steinrede, near Lubeck, the son of a schoolmaster. At 14 he went around the Horn as a sailor on the 500-ton bark Schiffswerft. In the next five years he rounded the Horn 13 times. He became a quartermaster and then a mate. In 1895, he was an officer on the Kingsin Line, running along the China coast.

Then the North German Lloyd took over the Kingsin line.

HELEN A. COURTNEY. REALTOR DEAD W. G. Morrisey, Brooklyn Realty Expert, Dies at 68 One of Charter of R.

E. Board--Pioneer in Bath Beach Section William G. Morrissey, widely known real estate broker and for several terms president of the Brooklyn Real Estate Board, died suddenly today at his residence in Bryn Mawr, Westchester County. Although Mr. Morrissey had been suffering from arthritis for the past six months his death was unexpected.

Funeral services will be conducted Friday at the residence. He was 68. Mr. Morrissey was born in the Bath Beach section of the borough and figured prominently in the development of the locality. His father was one of the first builders of homes in Bath Beach.

Mr. Morrissey as a young man succeeded his father in the building and real estate business. He opened his first real estate office in Bath Road about 40 years ago and later established his office at 189 Montague its present location. Charter Member of R. E.

Board He was one of the charter membees of the Brooklyn Real Estate Board and held the position of president of the board for three terms. He was foremost in every movement started by the real estate organization for the advancement of real estate interests and the welfare of the community. Mr. Morrisey was considered one of the most reliable authorities on real estate values in the city. He was employed by the Federal Government, State and city to appraise property required for important public improvements and represented the State in the purchase of the property used for the Barge Canal terminals After he retired as president of the Brooklyn Real Estate Board he went to Albany several times to represent borough property owners and the board in legislative matters.

During the World War Mr Morrisey conducted a drive for the board to increase interest in the purchase of Liberty bonds. Assembled Keith -Albee Plot When the Keith-Albee interests decided to build the Albee Theater at DeKalb Ave. and Fulton the theatrical firm selected Mr. Morrisey to assemble the large plot for the building. It was one of the most difficult real estate problems in his career, Mr.

Morrisey said when he had completed the task. Representing the Fleet estate, which owned about 15 of the parcels in the site, he had to corral about 25 additional properties held by individual owners. Had the real purpose of the transactions in the square block leaked out, it was feared that the prices asked for some of the parcels might have blocked the entire enterprise. Not until the last parcel was turned over for the project, however, did it become known that a theater was planned for the site. Many successful borough real estate brokers today attribute a large measure of their advancement to the kindly advice and instruction they received as young men from Mr.

Morrisey. While head of the realty board he constantly put forward the younger members, and retired from the presidency with the request that a younger element be encouraged to conduct its affairs. Some of the largest retail bustness firms in the city employed Mr. Morrisey as appraiser and only recently he secured a court decision involving a large downtown parcel which saved the owner a large sum of money in the reduction of taxes. He was a prominent member of the Royal Arcanum and one of the organizers of the South Side Board of Trade.

He also was a member of the Bath Beach Board of Trade and the New York State Association of Real Estate Boards. Mr. Morrisey is survived by his wife, Mrs. Minnie F. Morrisey; two sons, William G.

Morrisey Jr. and Arthur J. Morrisey, who were associated with him in the real estate business, and a daughter, Mrs. William R. Rice of Bryn Mawr, Pa.

Mr. Morrisey was a brother of the late Dr. John F. Morrisey, who conducted a drug store for many years at the corner of Myrtle Ave. and Fulton St.

Olaf J. Brunbeck Olaf J. Brunbeck, 59, of 330 Senator a photographer in Bay Ridge for the past 30 years, died yesterday at his home after a short illness of pneumonia. He was born in Oslo, Norway, Sept. 18, 1873, and leaves his wife, Mrs.

Interment will be in Greenwood Cemetery. Mr. Brunbeck WAS a member of the Order of Moose, Woodmen of American and the Sons or Norway. Commerford Paid As Fixer, Is Charge At Perjury Trial Labor Leader on Payroll That Listed Non-Union Men, Swears Witness Evidence that Patrick J. Commerford, vice president of the New York Federation of Labor and well known labor leader, was on the payroll of a hoisting concern which employed non-union labor, was presented at his trial for perjury and federal income tax evasion, which is continuing today, Edward A.

White, treasurer of the United Hoisting Company, testified that union men working for his company had protested use of nonunion men. Asked why Commerford was on the pay roll, he said: "Some one WAS needed to straighten out these difficulties. United States Attorney Medalie charged before Federal Judge Patterson that Commerford, who is vice president of the Building Trades Council, had accepted sums ranging from $2,500 to $7,000 from four contractors as his price for settling labor disputes.
