THE PRISONER SURRENDERED
His Attorney Brought Him to Minne-
apolis Saturday Evening.


Crippled by half dozen knife
wounds, Antonio Calderone, the al
legged murderer Of Battalta, lies Ian
gushing in a cell in the county jail,
having been delivered to the county
authorities by his attorney, F. L. Nc
Ghee of st. Paul. He refers all ques-
toners in regard to his crime to his
attorney, and McGhee refuses abso-
1utely to talk.
while the police Gordon was draw
ing tightly about Calderone, who has
been hiding in st. Paul since last
Thursday morning, his physician, DR..
". D. Turner, colored, and his attor-
ney, F. l.. McGhee, were planning to
surrender him to the authorities. Just
as the officers were about to sWoop
down on the office Of DR.. Turner, Cal
derone was loaded into hack and a
hurried trip made to Minneapolis,
where he was turned over to the
sheriff.
Altho the utmost secrecy surround
ed the departure Of the suspected man
from st. Paul, the hack was scarcely
q. dozen blocks from its starting place
when the Minneapolis police were no
tilted Of the departure. A full de-
scription Of the hack, driver and team
was furnished, and twenty minutes
later every street leading into the city
was guarded by officers. A trick Of
changing horses when at Midway en-
abled theVhack to pass safely into Min
neapolis, altho 1t was stoppsd by B..
NJ. Conner, secretary to Police Super
intendent Conroy, but when McGhee
Informed him that the persons In the
hack were his friends, the hack was
allowed to pass on its way to the city.
No sooner did the hack halt in front
OF the courthouse than McGhee, DR..
Turner and the prisoner hurried into
the office of Sheriff Dreger, where
Deputy Sheriff A. L. Jones was await
ing them, and three minutes later the
nuch-wanted man was locked in the
hospital ward of the county Jail, and
a charge Of murder placed against his
name.
His Condition Not Serious.
When the alleged murderer was
turned over to the authorities DR.
Turner, who had dressed his injuries
and concealed him since he arrived in
st. Paul early Thursday morning, in
formed the officers that CaIderone
was badly injured. He said that he
body, his hands were badly slashed
while several ugly wounds were Wis
ible about the head and face. He
considered that the injured man was
in rrecarious condition and advised
absolute rest and freedom from ex,
element. .....
Not content to rest upon the st
Paul physicians diagnosis, County
Physician J. M. Kistler was sum
moned and expressed belief that thu
conditions had been greatly exag-
gerated. He found various knife
wounds, but none Of these was con
sidered serious, and had it not beer
for the fact that Calderone was great
" weakened by the loss of blood, h
would have been all right by Satur
day night. AS it is, DR.. Kistler think
he will be almost fully recovered b,

information from Calderone, it ap

coupled with what the police know
that Calderone went directly to ST
Paul after the murder, as was told il
