The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-11-21

tention by pounding at the door of the
small shoe shop.
The man pounded loudly at the door,
tried the window, and as there was q
light burning within seemed anxious to
attract the attention of. the occupant
After repeated efforts to gain admittance,
he finally gave up the attempt and start
ed towards University avenue. Seeing
Cole, he turned into the street and walk
ed down the cycle path towards st. Paul.
The man was, according to Coles de-
scrlpt1on, short and rather stout and
wore a black overcoat, which was open,
notwithstanding the cold weather which
prevailed at the time. AS Cole caught
but glance Of the man, and as he paid
to particular attention to him, he is -un-
able to give description, but says he
might be able to recognize him. Cali
derone is large and stout.
Police Search In Vain.
Working on the theory that the men
wanted are in ST. Paul, the police of this
city searched everywhere they might be
round, but were unsuccessful. Both
Calderone and Battalia had many friends
in st. Paul, and most of them were visit
ed. Probably, through fear of the Malta,
or through the natural reticence of the
people, the police were unable to learn
anything of the whereabouts of the men,
Patrolman Pugleasa, with Detectives
DAILY and Sweeney, searched all resorts
where they might have taken refuge. The
police now think that the men are being
closely concealed and are resolved to
maintain constant watch and will not
give up their search.
A humorous incident of the search in ST.
Paul occurred yesterday when two Min
neapolis sleuths discovered on Sherburne
avenue trail Of blood which they fol-
lowed to a house at 900 Robert street
Thinking that they had at last found
the place of refuge of the murderer, they
spotted the house and went for ST.
Paul detective with wh0R they returned
and started a search OF the premises.
Inquiries among the occupants developed
nothing, but the detectives were not con-
tent till they went upstairs and found
that Jewish family resided there. The
blood stains had been produced by an
innocent duck which had been slain by
the rabbi for the Sabbath feast.
Knows of No Malta Here.
Though the police are inclined to be-
l1eye that the murder was instigated
and carried out by. members of the Malta
Italians will! not admit that such an or
gaa1nilzatlon is in existence in the Twin
services for the Italian families of ST.
Paul, when seen last night said that he
had no knowledge of any local branch Of
this famous organization.
Il am sure that there is no such So
ciety. in ST. Paul but 1 will not say
whether there is or not in Minneapolis
There are but twelve Sicilian families in
st: Paul, while there are many more in
affair, and 1 hope the offender will be
brought to justice. 1 did not know either
Of the men, though I may have met
them
The theory that Salvatore Battalia WITS
done to death by two men on the Frank
lin avenue bridge Wednesday night and
that the missing Antonio Calderone Is
not the only suspected murderer, is con-
siderably strengthened by a street car
conductor on the Minnehaha avenue line
named A. D. Souci, residing at 655 Fourth
avenue northeast, who got off his car at
Twenty-seventh and Franklin avenues
murder is supposed to have been COM
mitted.
Three Italians Boarded Car
His car arrives at that point at Oil
o'clock. At Washington and First avenue
south three Italians boarded the car. Two
OF these, ne says, were young men, and
years old.
He has seen the newspaper pictures of
Battalia and Calderone, and thinks he
recognizes them. He describes Calderone
as man who was considerably larger
than the other two, and wore no oyercoat.
He sat between the two other men and
paid the fare of all three.
The conversation between the men was
in foreign language and was at times
quite earnest. That is all he remembers
about them. He will be shown Battalia's
body this morning before the burial.
A patrolman named DAILY, who was also
on the car, is said to have remembered
the party OF three Italians and his i'm
preston as to their identity is similar to
that of Souci. He could not be found last
night, but it is believed that he has i'm
parted his information to the police
Find Knives and Handkerchief.
The developments in the Battalia muir
der at Minneapolis yesterday included
the finding of two knives near the scene
