Tony Calderone killed Salvatore
Battalia on Wednesday night of last
week, according to the verdict hand
ed down by Il coroners jury in the in.
quest Tuesday. Evidence was strong
against him. The examination was
severe only upon Attorney f. L. Nc
Ghee, DR.. V. d. Turner and Mrs.
Charles Davis, the three colored peo-
pie of st. Paul. accused of unlawfully
sheltering the fugitive, Calderone.
They were all brought into court. Nc
Ghee was especially attacked fiercely.
He refused to tell where Calderone's
blood-stained clothing is; refused to
tell what Calderone told him, and re-
fused to tell whether or not there was
third man concerned in the murder.
McGhee refused to answer these ques-
tions by reason of the right reserved
by an attorney-at-law when retained
to defend suspect. Deputy Sheriff
Jones swore that Calderone had con-
fessed to him as the murderer, and it
was on his testimony almost entirely
that the jury found it's verdict.
Mertie Grubber, young boy arrest
ed at the Paulle building fire Friday
night of last week for disorderly con-
duct, accused Officer Klein of kicking
him severely at the time of his arrest.
A number of people backed his claim.
The case came up in court, and the
testimony was very decidedly in fa-
vor of the police. A number of officers
testified that the boy was very unruly
and that he had courted trouble in
stead of trying to avoid it. He was
put out Of the crowd several times,
but each time returned. When ar
rested he Kicked and fought, and
grabbing Officer Klein around the
knees, tried to throw him. Judge
Dickinson scolded him we'll, and fined
him SIS. The police are constantly be-
ing blamed for arresting boys who get
into fire crowds and other large gath
erings, and then proceed to raise a
general rough-house. When arrested
they cry and fight, and then some IA
therly man steps forward and tries
to make out that the police are brutes
who like to abuse children.
The proposition of Thomas Lowry
to present large tract of land to
Minneapolis and construct park out
of it was presented formally to the
board of park commissioners last
Monday evening. AS the offer stands,
the city would acquire all of several
blocks with the exception of certain
small tracts; but to offset this, Mr..
Lowry adds several other blocks with
which to make trades with the owners
of the property to be acquired. The
cost us estimated will be between
$4,000 and 100000. The committee
on designations and acquisition, on
which Howard De Laittre is chair
man, will have the matter in charge,
and will report at the next meeting
