TO PREVENT PAYMENT OF

for the capture of the murderer of
Policeman Henry Stotko," stated Alto
ney John Blair, counsel for James
Dalton, convicted and now under sem
| tence of death for the crime.
Il shall ask for an injunction on
| the grounds that. as police officers, it
was the duty of these officers to aid
in the detection of crime ana in the
| prosecution of the criminal. and as the
| offer of reward is in substance the
offer of a contract, by doing what
they We're legally bound to do. they
were not furnishing a legal considera-
ton and also upon general grounds
| of public policy"
The rewards offered for the capture
of the murderer of Policeman Statko
aggregate $3625. $1,000 being offered
by the county, the same amount by
the city and $1S25 having been raised
by prominent business men.
Officers of the police department
succeeded in running Dalton to earth
and were active in the prosecution
which led to his conviction. No de-
mand or claim for the reward has yet
been made by these officers, and it is
not known whether any such demand
will ever be made. A number of out
siders are said to also be entitled to
a share of the reward, as many clues
