Killing of Refugee as

EX-CADET'S REPLY

ut was n dirty, cold-bloodcd murder"
Under the eyes of the court facing
defendant Ernest H. Denicke and the
group of attorneys, Theodore G.
Reichert yesterday repeated what he
said to the boy captain at the scene
of the shooting of the unidentified
man on the night of April 20.
With stern voice Reichert told over
again the episode in which he figured
on East street, where lay the body
OF the man whose life was forfeited
With no other light than that afforded
by the flames of the fires all around
the witness had listened to the con-
fession of young Denicke that he fired
the shot and that he shot to kill.
Reichert is a teamster. At the time
of the disaster he was employed as a
driver for emergency hospital work,
and in the performance of his duties
stumbled upon the dead man.
Denicke, clad in his uniform indi-
eating the rank of captain and with
the star of a special officer pinned to
his vest so that it showed occasion
ally as the wind blew back his coat,
was standing near.

witness.

Reichert, II had to do it. my orders
were to shoot to. KILL / am sorry /

had to do 1t. My orders were to shoot
to KILL
"Denicke turned toward boat and
then he came back to me. He gave
nue. discard and his fathers card, and
said that he wished / would have him
arrested. told him that ii would not
bring the man back to life and he said
that he wanted to square himself with
the people. And as he left he re-
peated to me that his orders were TO
shoot to kill
Reichert endeavored to qualify as
an expert witness 10 show that the
deceased was shot in the back, but
Judge Lawlor refused to admit that
testimony. After a short cross-exam-
ination as to the conversation that
occurred between Denicke and Reich

M0sQUIT0EsANNOY
MISSION FOLK.
Pests Gather in a Swamp
on Army Street Each
Night and Hold Revel
CITIZENS PROTEST

The Mosquitoes Parade" would be z
very appropriate selection with which
to serenade the residents of certain
portions of the Mission District at the
present time. For several weeks past
those people who dwell in the vicinity
of a swamp at Army and Mission
streets have been beset by the singing
pests every time they venture out OF
doors at night. As a consequence these
folks are up in arms and will appeal
to the city authorities to have the
swamp drained and the mosquitoes
banished.
Such a gathering place for the New
Jersey product has not been known in
the Mission District for years. The
mosquitoes seem to like the place and
posed of very aggressive brand OF
pests, and the residents say that every
time one Of them starts after a victim
he is sure to land.
The swamp where the nightly revel
of the long-fanged creatures takes
place is situated on the northwest cor
ner of Mission and Army streets. 1t
Is decorated with a billboard fence on
one side, but the rest of the space is
unprotected The lot is a swamp. de-
scending to a depth of about twenty
feet in the center. This space is liber-
ally supplied with stagnant water and
also Old tin cans. garbage and quanti-
ties of other rubbish.
During the daytime the mosquitoes
generally seek sleep and rest. but as
soon as the sun descends behind the
hills they are up and stirring. They
generally Turk behind the billboard and
await an unsuspecting victim. But If
traffic is dull along that street they
take to the highways and byways of
the neighborhood and attack every one
in sight
These mosquitoes are described as
being large and ferocious, each with a
beak long and sharpened so that it
will pierce the skin of the most hard
ened and weather beaten resident of
the district. Wherever one of these
pests bites he invariably raises a lump
on the skin of the victim. Some of the
residents of the vicinity have their
faces SO well decorated that they are
able to pass their most intimate friends
without being recognized
But the mosquitoes do not confine
their attention entirely to the residents
of the immediate vicinity of the swamp.
Those who have occasion to travel on
the street cars also come in for their
share of,the bites. The mosquitoes are
gifted with great deal of speed and
they manage to catch up with the
swiftly moving electric cars and then
ply their vocation. The conductors and
motormen come In for torture many
times during the night.
The residents of the district have
made up their minds to Danish the
mosquitoes. and they will probably
make an appeal to the city authorities
to have the swamp drained and cleaned
of its rubbish in short order. Life is
nigh unbearable during the hours of
night. Men, women and children are
prepared to order suits of armor plate
for protection If something is not done
soon.
