l feel personally convinced that their
action was justifiable Their stories of
the affair have not varied in the slight
est degree, while the tale told by c..
Vusich, nephew of the dead man. has
been inconsistent in many ways. Ihave
no doubt that Patrolman Ammon was
forced to kill Vusich i'm self-defense.
However, the matter Is being carefully
sifted out, and we will not rest until the
real truth is gained"
John Vuslch is said to have had a
very bad reputation with the police de-
partment, and Is accused of having
made the threat that should any police
man ever be caught in his place he
would kill him.
He was very popular with the Rus
SLAMS OF the city, however, and was
termed the "King of the SlaVs." 1t Is
thought likely that his friends will
make an effort to place the blame for
the killing upon Ammon and Purcell.
In the fear that friends of Vusich
would attempt to destroy the evidence
of the "blind pig" by taking away the
bar fixtures from the secret room in
the restaurant building at 652 san Fer
nando street, the police had photographs
of the room and bar taken yesterday

asked that the case be dropped, offer
ing him $3.50 If he would go back to
Los Angeles. Finally Mr., Lank came
home, determined to let the matter
crop, as his money had been returned
to him.
A few weeks ago, however, Chief of
Police Mcdowell of Detroit came to this
city and urged Mr. Lank to push the
case, telling him that it was a duty he
owed the people of Detroit to root out
such place.
Finally yielding to his earnest solicit
tations, Mr.. Lank returned and entered
suit. The preliminary hearing was held.
and he returned to his business in this
city. According to Mr.. Lank, the police
OF Detroit have been trying for twenty
years to send the owners of the saloon

this time have not had an opportunity,
owing to the strong political influence
that has been eXerted in their behalf.
This influence Mr.. Lonk does not fear,
and 1t is for this reason that the police
were so anxious to have him push the
case.
Mr. Lank said yesterdya my grip

Constable Indulge in Merriment When

Fire to Mighty Mccul-

An Internal machine in the shape OF
a jewelry box and loaded cigar OF
Internal pattern caused small panic
among the attendants at Justice
Young's court yesterday morning, dur
ing the preliminary trial of some minor
cases.
For some months past there has been
a keen rivalry IN the practical joke line
between the officers of Justice Pierce's
court under Constable Cline, and the
officers of Young's court, under Con-
stable De La Monte.
Chief among the jokesters has beer
deputy Constable Mccullough, head
representative Of Cline's department

and yesterday morning he started do
ings'' in large sized measure.
Court had been in session about an
hour when Mccullough showed up in
De La Monte's Office, which adjoins
Young's court room. De La Monte
greeted him with a smile and sat down
on the clerks counter to joke with his
neighbor officer.
But Mccullough did not seem in the
joking manner. He carried a small
plush box under his arm and paid no
attention to the queries as to it's con-
tents.
Finally after the curiosity of De La
Monte and his officers had been thor
oughly aroused Mccullough threw the
jewel case down on the counter with
the remark that 1t contained jewels
under attachment.
one of De La Montes officers made a
grab for the box to see what it con-
tanned and Mccullough fairly turned
aside to hide the look Of triumph.
Quickly Gets Even
The Investigating officer grasped the
jewel box and yan,-ed back the cover.
AS he did SO there came a roar, and
the officer dropped the box and fell
back over the chair and on the floor
Mccullough fairly shrieked with laugh
ter, for the box had been arranged with
four small dynamite caps on a spring
and these had exploded as the cover
came off.
While Mccullough was laughih,

he disappeared, returning i'm a shor

TO AVOID PRISON
SUPREME COURT GETS MANY
HENNEPIN COUNTY CASES.
Important Convictions Secured by Coun-

Tribunal-Other Cases Pending in
Which Those Convicted Ask New
Trials Principles Of Law Involved.

Six convictions secured in the last
eight months by the county attorneys
Office, five of them of more than usual
Importance or interest, are now either
in the supreme court of the state or are
on their way. Five of the six cases
have attracted wide attention, and in
two cases the points involved are en-
tirely new in this state. In all cases
where the defendants have argued for a
new trial they have lost. In one case
the arguments are now being heard
before Judge Brooks, and another has
not yet come up.
The two cases now in the supreme
court are against e. O. Fellows, con-
victed in the district court on charge
Of grand larceny in the first degree,
and DR.. T. H. bly,, convicted in con-
nection with the baby farm crusade
carried on last year by the county
attorney. Fellows is now in the peni.
Tertiary and DR.. Bly, is out on bail.
Two other cases where motions for
new trials have been denied are
against Emma Yates, convicted of ar
son, and Thomas Coleman, the private
detective, convicted of extortion.
Arguments are In progress, for a new
trial for DR.. Jacob F.. Force, convicted
of tembezzlement of the funds Of the
Northwestern National Life Insurance
company. A new trial in minor case
| is to be asked for John Kilola against
whom sentence is pending on charge
| Of assault against 9 child.
