JURY SAYS KENNEDY
HAD RIGHT TO SHOOT
Declares Guard at Smelling Was
Justified in Killing Escap-
Ing Prisoner

The Ramsey county coroner's jury
yesterday decided that Edward Ken
nedy committed justifiable homicide
when he killed Anthony Wisch, fed
eral convict, on the Fort Smelling
bridge about ten days ago.
This action relieves Kennedy, pri-
vate in the army, from responsibility,
SO far as the civil authorities are con-
eerned, but he must await the outcome
OF the investigation being made by
the army authorities at Fort Smelling.
The jury formally found that An
thony Wisch was justifiably killed by
Kennedy, his guard, on the Fort
Smelling bridge, while Wisch was at
tempting to escape from custody This
means that a charge of crime against
Kennedy in the civil courts will not
hold.
At previous hearing before the
coroner it had been claimed by Riley,
another prisoner who was also in
charge of Kennedy, that the two pris-
oners and their guard had during the
afternoon consumed considerable
liquor and that at the time of the kill
ing all were intoxicated. Kennedy, the
guard admitted that there had been
drinking, but contended that the pris-
oners were aware of what they were
doing, and that he shot Wisch only
when attacked and an effort made to
throw him over the Fort Smelling
bridge into the Mississippi river.
Kennedy Was Not Drunk
Maj. Frick, the post surgeon, testi-
fed that he examined Kennedy, the
guard, shortly after the shooting and
failed to find strong evidence of intox-
ication, but that Riley was either
drunk or simulated the condition for
the purpose of escaping prosecution on
the serious charge of attempting to es-
cape from a guard.
Christ Peterfeldt, 237 West Seventh,
was on the roof Of a building near the
end of the bridge, witnessed the entire
affair and was therefore able to give
the most connected story of the shoot
ing. He saw the three men coming
across the bridge and heard them talk
ing loudly, saw Kennedy poke one of
the men with his rifle and Immediately
afterwards witnessed Kennedy and
WiSch grapple. Kennedy struck Wisch
with the rife and, then fired at the
prisoner, Riley, the other prisoner,
running away. Peterfeldt witnessed no
attempt to throw Kennedy over the
bridge, and several other witnesses to
the killing testified that SO far as they
could see there was no effort upon the
part of the prisoners attempting to es-
cape to throw Kennedy into the river.
Carl Lindahl, a Minneapolis carpen-
ter, was working on a building south
of the bridge and was sure that the
two prisoners attacked Kennedy and
attempted to throw him from the
bridge. Lindahl stated that at one
time it seemed that the prisoners
would be successful in their effort to
dispose of the guard, but Kennedy re-
gained the advantage and struck Wisch
with the butt end of his rifle. Riley
ran-lat this point, but Wisch renewed
his attack, whereupon Kennedy raised
his rifle and fired
Capt. Hall submitted the army regu-
1ations for guard of prisoners, which
justified Kennedy in shooting Wisch.

CARRIER is ORDERED
TO CARE FOR WIFE
Fireman Who Spent $4,000 in Hurry
Order Must Provide for Family


j. G. CARRIER. the locomotive fireman
who secured $4,000 from the Great
Western in settlement of a personal
injury case and was arrested for non
support within ten months of his re-
ceipt of the money, was yesterday
commanded by Judge Hine to pay his
wife $40 month or again be COM
mitted to Jail.
Mrs. CARRIER came into court and
testified that excepting the purchase of
furniture worth from $500 to $780, she
received no benefit from the $4,000. For
some months recently she had not
heard from her husband, and knew
nothing of his whereabouts until he
had been arrested on her complaint.
But she said that she was willing to
again live with her husband, the pro-
posal of the judge as to the amount to
be paid her monthly being agreeable.
CARRIER was allowed to go with his
wife, but was ordered to report in po-
lice court today.

CITY NEWS
HOLD UP FRANCHISE
Engineers Continue the Fight
Against Heating Plant

Contending that the franchise grant
ed to the American District Steam
company by the st. Paul common coun-
Gil, giving the company the right to
operate a general heating plant in the
business section of the city, is invalid
and null because of the manner in
which the ordinance was passed and
because the company to whom the
franchise is granted is not incorpor-
ated under the laws of Minnesota, as
provided for by the Somerville law,
Attorney James r. Hickey, represent
ing the Stationary Engineers union,
yesterday commenced a suit in the dis
trict court for the purpose of perma-
nently enjoining the city officials and
the. company from carrying out the
terms of the franchise.
Upon the showing made by Attorney
Hickey and affidavits submitted by
him, Judge Olin B. Lewis, of the dis
trict bench, yesterday issued a tenn
porary restraining order, en1oining the
city from recognizing the franchise
until a hearing has been had in the
district court. The order made by
Judge Lewis cites the defendants to
appear before him in court Saturday,
July II, and show cause, if any, why
the injunction should not be continued
pending the settlement of the suit
brought for a permanent injunction.
The plaintiff in the case is J. J.
Bailey, "a resident of st. Paul. owning
both real and personal property within
the city" The plaintiff is said to have
only nominal intereSt-in the case, it
being necessary to bring the action in
the name Of some taxpayer. The suit
is backed by the union stationary en-.
gineers of the city, who have the sup
port of the Trades and Labor assem-
bly,. The engineers contend that the
establishment of a general heating
plant, whose business is to furnish heat
10 consumers from a central plant,
would cause many of them to lose their
positions, and an effort will be made
to have the franchise declared null, on
the ground that the council had no
authority to grant it.
1t is claimed that the American Dis
trict Steam company is a New York
association and that it has not COM
piled with the statutes of Minnesota.
The franchise granted to the COMPANY
by the council gives the former the right
to operate general heating plant in
the downtown section of the CITY. it
being the desire of the company to
furnish steam heat to all who desire
to purchase it, from a plant to be con-
structed along the river bank.

Western, has commenced a suit in the
district court to compel that company

gence of the company.

the yards at Oelwein, Iowa, last April,
when some cars were kicked" down a
track where he was attempting to
make coupling. He was caught be-
tween the cars and squeezed, being Sc
riously injured. He complains that it
was the duty of the company to equip
it's cars with automatic couplers, but
thatsthe car on which he was working
was not SO equipped.

FEE TO VISIT PRISON
is A new WRINKLE
Until State Board of Control
Came Into PowerNo Charge
Was Made

The expose in yesterdays Glob OF
the system of collecting 25 cents for
each visitor at the Minnesota peni-
tentiary, the statement that on certain
days large crowds visit the institution,
and upon payment of an admission fee
stare in open-mouthed wonder on the
criminals confined, and the self evil
dent fact that the state nets quite a
neat income from the throng of visit
ors and the system of charge for ad-
mission, caused no end of talk in mu-
nicipal and state circles yesterday
The members of the board of control
were all out of the city, and nobody
could be found who would attempt to
Justify the practice. 1t was pointed
out that the returns from the admis-
sion fees could never offset the moral
effect of putting the unfortunate pris-
oners on exhibition, and that the state
should abandon the practice imme-
diately out of justice to the inmates
and correct moral tone for the COM
munity.
New Wrinkle of Iowa Idea
John w. Willis, former member of
the state board of corrections and
charities, before that body was shorn
of its functions by. the importation of
the board of control idea from Iowa,
said last night that the practice Of
charging admission to the state prison
had grown up since the former board
had authority over the prison.
Formerly the plan was to have GER
tain visiting days and on those days
no charge was made for admission but
visitors were expected to make some
small donation to the fund for special
aid to discharged prisoners to defray
the states outlay in providing guides
for the visitors. The donation was,
however, entirely optional with the
visitor. The visiting day, as he. re-
membered it, was only one day of each
week. He declined to express an opin-
ion of the plan now in vogue by which
the state is enriched several hundred
dollars each month by a tax on visit
orS.
Visitors From a Distance Get in Free
A friend of Warden Wolfer, resid-
ing at saltwater, yesterday attempted
to justify the plan now practiced. He
said that where large parties came
from a distance and were shown
through the institution no charge was
made by the state. During the state
fair week the prison was crowded with
visitors and the receipts at about this
time of the year were $500 per month.
There were months in the year-pre-
sumably during the cold weather
when the monthly receipts from visit
ors did not exceed $40. The revenue
obtained from this source went to the
maintenance of the prison library and
the Prison Mirror, the weekly publica-
ton of the inmates, which was not as
yet self-sustaining.

NEW YORK FIRE SPECTACULAR.
Myriads Of People Given a Succession
Of Real Thrills.

New York-All of Wall street and
the downtown district were thrown in
to excitement recently by fire which
started in the building at 81 Broad
way, occupied by the Morris European
& American ExI ress company.
The fire spread to the adjoining
building, occupied by the Adams Elk
press Co., but was brought under con
troll shortly after l O'Clock, nearly two
hours after its start, and at that time
the loss was estimated by an under
writer at 100000, but nothing could
be learned regarding the insurance.
When the neighborhood in which
the fire occurred is taken into consid-
Grafton, 1t is the most spectacular day
time blaze that has occurred for a
long time in that part of the city.
Thousands Of people poured forth from
the thickly populated financial dis
tricts into the narrow canyon on Broad
way, and massed back for squares
above and below the blaze. The tow
ering skyscrapers that faced the fire
had a group of people at every win
dow
The burning buildings reached
through to a narrow alley on the rear,
and through it swept clouds of smoke
into Broadway, 50 thick that only oc-
casionally could the flames be seen.
The smoke rolled up the street, hem
med in by the tall buildings, and great
flaming brands fell thickly in the
crowds.
Closely following the first alarm
another was turned in, and then, with
the Baltimore fire in mind a two
nine" the dreaded general alarm, fol
lowed. Engine after engine, followed
by their hose trucks, water towers and
ladder trucks, swept changing down
Broadway, the only street of access
to the fire, bringing in their wake ad-
ditional thousands of people to swell
the crowd that already packed every
inch of standing room in the vicinity
Bursting hose and a black roll of
choking smoke now and then drove
them back. and aided the police re.
serves to clear the streets.
