time he left his home at 1901 West
ern avenue. They have learned that
he boarded a Minnehaha car at First
avenue S and washington at SAG
o'clock Wednesday night in company
with Salvatore Battalia and a third
man whose description the police
have. The trio left the car at Frank

and UNIVERSITY avenues in st. Paul at
11:45 and the trail left by his bleeding
hand was followed as far as Dale
street and University avenue in st.
Paul.
Called on Former Boss.
From the time he was at Dale street
until 10:45 o'clock Thursday morning.
no trace of him can be found. At
that time he went to the Bucket of
Blood saloon on South Washington
street. The proprietor Of this saloon.
Carmine Ruberto, was formerly Cal
derone's boss, while he was engaged in
railroad work. Calderone asked Ru-
berto If he had any work that he
could send him out on and explained
that he wanted to get out of the city.
Ruberto told him that he could send
him either to Montana or to Omaha.
Ca1derone thought Montana too cold
and said that he preferred to go to
Omaha. He said that he would come
back that night and would go ito
Omaha at S:05 Friday morning.
From Ruberto's place Calderone
went directly to Branca's saloon OH.
East Seventh street, where the events
| recorded took place. When he left
| there, he seemed to have disappeared
almost as completely as tho the earth
had opened and swallowed him.. 3
+ There have beer numerous rumors
4 as to Gafdefone's whereabouts siaace
HE left aBranca's saloon, Knowing that
/ he was suspected, but most of these
are vague and uncertain and when
4 run down by the officers, they are
found to have no foundation. One Oh
j thesesrumo had it that he had gone
1 to Little Canada a small town eight
! miles from ST. Paul, where an Italian
/ family resides. Another was that he
j was seen at Robert and Fourteenth
4 streets In ST Paul last night. Still
/ another rumor habit that he had re-
4 turned to Minneapolis and was being
i concealed by his friends.
Some Clues Abandoned.
4 Two Of these rumors are known to
be false as the police have learned to
4 a. certainty that ne dld not go TO ILL
Il tie Canada, while he could not have
i been the man seen at Fourteenth and
4 Robert streets in st. Paul, for the
man who claimed to have seen him
there says that he was bleeding from
g. wound in the back. Branca, as well
as those who were in his place, and
4 Carmine Rubertos and his bartender,
: all say that there was nothing the
matter with Calderone except that he
had his left thumb bandaged up.
4 They are certain that he was not in
4 jured in any other way, and also that
there were no cuts in his clothing.
Il Whether Ca1derone has really re-
turned to Minneapolis and is now in
hiding here, is yet to be determined,
The police are inclined to think that
he may be here, and will keep the
drag net going until they either find
him or prove to an absoIute certainty
that he is not In the city.
Did He Go to Italy?
There is also possibility that Gall
!. derone has returned to Italy, as it was
