Cloquet."
Are you certain this is the man,
John?"
Eyes, I am certain of it. could risk
my neck on it."
At this point the wounded man be-
came too weak to talk longer and the
room was left, the silent procession
wonding it's way to the central station,
where Moschick was>1ocked up. During
the interview, Lemke seemed to be in
great pain and it troubled him greatly
to talk. During all this time, the ac-
cused man stared stolidly about the
room and did not say word. He look
ed like disinterested party.
MANY IDENTIFY HIM.
Moschick was positively identified yesterday
afternoon as the who had walked along
Humboldt avenue north and put revolver
in his pocket, just "a hours before Those
who recognized the prisoner were Mrs. D. A.
Collough, Mrs. 1. Pierrie, Alice Flaherty and
Thomas Flaherty, of 1905 Humbolt avenue,
and William c. Beardsley, of 1903 Humboldt
In the presence Of Superintendent Smith, de-
tectives, newspaper men and the witnesses,
Moschick was brought out from the cell
room. He looked sullen and not at all inter-
ested in what was going on. Not word
escaped his lips or an expression by which
his feelings could be betrayed He was at
tired in the clothes found on him and made
to walk about the room.
Have you ever seen this man before?
Inspector Morrisey asked.
''Yes, that is the man who passed our house
yesterday afternoon and who was identified
by the bleeding man, as the one who had
shot him. said the women, almost in con-
cert. Explaining further they stated that the
clothes, the man features and walk were the
same. Tom Flaherty said it was the man he
had followed down to Thirty-sixth avenue
north, and Washington, as told yesterday.
Mr.. Beardsley had not seen the mans face,
but he was positive that it was the right
which is a peculiar one. They were all posi-
tive that nc mistake had been made.
John, were you up to Camden place yes
terday?" asked Inspector Morrsey of the
prisoner, as he stood facing those who had
identified him.
The prisoner never moved muscle and
made no reply.
We'll, you might as we'll tel the truth
about it. John,'' said the detective. The
only reply given was shrug of the should
ers and the prisoner was led back to cell IA.
All efforts to get the prisoner to talk about
the brutal shooting proved fruitless. When
an officer asked him last night concerning
the matter, he said he did not care to talk
about it. Upon further questioning he told
the officer to ask the wall. However Moschick
seemed quite willing to talk about prison
affairs and was interested if the report of
prisoners being abused at Saltwater. He
said that there was some truth in this and
that there were many pets at the institu-
ton. These could infringe the rules without
fear of punishment while others had to suffer
W. G. Beardsley, market gardener, who
lives nearest the scene of the shooting made
a search Of the vicinity yesterday. Lemke's
hat was found in a stretch of timber at least
fifty feet away from where the shooting oc-
CURED. Between these two spots can be
seen trail, where the body Of the wounded
man had been dragged. The hat was filled
with leaves and covered with dirt. showing
it had been trailed through the road. Had
Lemke not feigned unconsciousness he prob
ably would have been killed. 1t was evidently
the intention of the desperate to kill Lemke
and to hide the body where it was dragged.
Had Lemke not had sufficient strength to
find his way to the neighboring houses it is
likely he would have died in this lonely spot
and his body would not have been found for
long time. This pace is deserted one.
