COURT ROASTS EVANGELIST
Expresses Surprise That He Escaped
Mob law.

Chicago, Sept. 2 .-"You are the
most dangerous man In Chicago" said
Municipal Judge Newcomer to Albert
Dahlstrom, whom he held to the grand
jury to answer serious charges.
Dahlstrom, who is an itinerant evan.
gelist, was arrested last May for the
abduction Of Martha Peterson, seven
teen years old, whom he married sub
seQuently at St. Joseph, Mich. Assist.
ant States Attorney Roe accused him
Of causing the downfall of four other
young girls. Dahlstrom said he was a
minister in the Church of the Saints
and modsstly admitted that he Is a
saint"
The testimony introduced was to the
effect that he had induced Martha Pc.
derson to leave the residence of her
parents and go to Rockford, ILL.,, with
him before he was divorced from his
legal wife. Later she went to Mad
ison, Wis, and Minneapolis, Mimi,
and her parents were ignorant of her
whereabouts. After his arrest and
divorce he married the girl.
Il cannot conceive Of any one more
disreputable, because you have taken
the sacred name Of Christianity to pro-
mote illegality and have preached Ii
centiousness in the guise of minister
of the gospel" Judge Newcomer said
to Dahlstrom.
ALTHOUGH I do not advocate mob
law" he continued, turning to Dahl
stroms lawyers, 'if it were your
daughter, Mr.. Johnson, or Mr. Lowen.
thai, you would have used a gun. I
am surprised, yet gratifed, to see that
this girls parents have held their
temper and patience as we'll as they
have done"

SAYS WOMAN LOVED HIM.
Constantine, on Stand, Asserts
Mrs. Gentry Suicided.

Chicago, Sept. 2!.-Frank J. Con-
stantine, on trial for the murder of
Mrs. Louise Gentry, took the stand in
his own defense. He showed absolute
composure while ON the stand and
gave testimony clearly and without
hesitation. He said he was born in
New York city and was twenty-three
years old, He came to this city to go
Sntc the bootblacking business, as he
had been In that vocation In New
York and in selling cut had made an
agreement not to re-enter the business
there. He said that when he engaged
room in the Gentry home he told
Mrs. Gentry that his father was
wealthy real estate man.
Did you tell the Gentrys that you
were of royal blood?"
81 did. am descendant from Ital-
ian royalty"
Constantine declared that he had
heard Mr.. and Mrs. Gentry quarreling
many times and said that they lived
unhappily. On the day of the tragedy
he said he went into his room to shave
and found Mrs. Gentry there making
the bed. He told her that he was
about to leave the city and she asked
him If he would not take her with
him. She insisted, according to Con-
stantine, and he positively refused.
Cuts Throat With Razor.
She then, according to his story,
picked up the razor and cut her throat.
He asserted that he carried her down
to the door of DR.. Doherty's Office,
pounded on the door and then left her
standing there while he ran for doc
tor. He said he noticed while hunt
ing for this second doctor that there
was blood on the sleeve of his coat
and he thought that if he returned he
would be accused of the murder and
would not. receive justice in the courts
because he was stranger in the city.
He then declared that he fed from
Chicago. Constantine said he had
always wished to give himself up, but
had been prevented from doing so by
the members Of his family.
On crOss-examinatiOn Constantine
declared that Mrs. Gentry had thrown
her arms about him and otherwise
shown her infatuation for him. Later
in the day the state introduced letters
from Mrs. Gentry to her husband
showing her devotion to him. They
were written few days before her
DEATH
Constantine was asked by Assistant
States Attorney Holt to take the razor
with which Mrs. Gentry was killed
and indicate how she had drawn it
across her throat. He refused to
touch the razor and would not go
through the pantomime asked by the
attorney. He denied that he was
afraid Of the razor, but said he did not
wish to handle it.

is usually the case the strongest
candidate comes in for the most
severe criticism. There is little
doubt that most Of the candi-
dates are good men and would
fill the Office with credit 10 them

naturally has a preference, and
we fail to see why people know
ing W. w. Kitchin should OPP
pose him for the place unless it
be that they just like some other
candidate better.
