Story OF the Roommate.
Frank Inzarra Calderone's room
mate, said that Calderone was in the
house when the witness left the house,
SIS Western avenue, at 1880 Wednes-
day night. When he returned at l
o'clock Thursday morning Calderone
had not returned, altho Costa, the
shoemaker, was sleeping in Calder
ones bed. He had never seen Bat
| Italia or Calderone, who We're both In
| the house when he went away, alive
after that. He had seen Battalia's
body in the morgue after the muir
der.
Inzarra identified the bloody hand
kerchief found on the trail and bear
ing the initials "T. c." as that owned
by Calderone, and said that 1t was
marked by Calderone's mother. Many
handkerchiefs of the same make and
sort We're in Calderone's room. The
witness had spent the entire evening
at Billy Dunn's saloon. on washington
avenue 8. He had never seen or heard
OIL any trouble sDGIWecu @Ddlldl1a- dlu
Calderone, and knew nothing as to the
Malta, and had never seen the muir
derer's knife before, and had never
known him to carry anything but a
fruit peddler's short knife. He could
| think of no reason why Calderone
should kill Battalia.
How Turner Found Him.
DIR. v. D. Turner Of st. Paul, the
colored physician who cared for and
oofn Nold t1pnn Ioxy ,1,iIc
the police Of the twin cities were look
ing for the murderer, said he first
saw his patient, about two years ago
in his the physicians, office. At that
time Calderone was coming in with an
old Italian, who afterwards went back
to Italy.
In the present case he was called up
by telephone at $40 o'clock Thursday
morning and asked to come at once
to his office to attend a man who
| had been hurt by a horse" He i'm
mediately took a car to his office and
found Caldsrone standing in the hall
way. Calderone said he was the man
telephoned about, and, being assisted
| into the office, he said there had been
a fight in Minneapolis and after get
| ting out Of it. he had walked to st.
Paul.
calderone was wounded, and his
| head, face and hands and clothing
We're covered with dried blood. He
said he had met man on the St. Paul
| streets and this man, at his request,
had telephoned to DR.. Turner.
I The physician had taken Calderone
| to the Davis house, because Calderone
said he had no place to go and he
knew Mrs. Davis had rooms to rent.
Prisoners Wounds Described.
After consulting his notes, DR..
Turner described the wounds in
Calderone's head. He called them
stab wounds and explained that he
so described them because they were
short and deep. Among them was a
cut four inches long at the back Of the
I There was also big cut below the
knuckles as If a knife had been drawn
across them.
Calderone was not thoroly attended
to at Dr.. Turner's office because the
! blood was all clothed and the physician
put on temporary dressing, finishing
his work at Mrs. Davis house.
!; There was an argument as to
Whether the cut in the back Of the
head had been done by a down stroke
or up stroke. DR.. Williams thought
that an up stroke inflicted by accident
had made the wound while DR.. Turner
. was or the opinion that, as the great
est 1ncision was at the top Of the head
1t had been caused by down stroke
Or. Turner, after leaving his patient
under the effects Of drugs, had seen a
paper about noon Friday and learned
about the fight. Going back to
Calderone's room he easily secured an
admission from his patient that he
was Calderone, and Calderone ad-
m1tted that he was the man wanted
and said he wished to go back to the
courthouse in Minneapolis, accom-
panied by an attorney. Fred 'McGhee
was then called into the case and an
, other physician, DR.. J. M. Grevelle, be-
ing consulted, it was decided SATURDAY.

move Calderone.

garded Calderone's case dangerous
