AN UNLAWFUL PRACTICE.

1t is greatly to be desired that the
burglars who are engaged in series OF
raids upon the dollhouse of a florist III
the northwestern part of the city shall
be apprehended, aud the efforts of the
Rondo police division to capture them
are worthy; but Officer RILEY was not
justified in shooting and wounding
JOHN DELoKoKI. The man was not
seriously hurt, and the matter would
not be worth editorial comment were it
not for the fact that the st. Paul police
force is given to shooting in cases of
this kind, and evidently believes that
the law warrants the course.
An officer has no warrant from the
law to shoot fleeing person who has
committed only miSdemeanOr; he is
justified only in shooting to effect the
arrest or prevent the escape of one
whom he has caught in the act of COM
hitting serious felony or for whose ar
rest he has warrant charging such
felony.
1t appears that DELoKoKI had not
entered the greenhouse when the officer
arrested him, and that the arrest was
made upon suspicion. The fact that
the prisoner broke away from the officer
and ran is not strong circumstance to
prove guilt; innocent men, particularly
Of the ignorant classes. become so much
alaEmed by arrest that they will i'm
prove any opportunity to escape. 1t is
stated that since the arrest things
stolen from the greenhouse have been
found in the house of DELOKoKI; but
this does not alter the case. The officer
