harlow Demands Efficiency.
There may have been some excuse
for not getting Speedy, said the chief
last night, but ! certainly do not con-
slider that Patterson and Sleater were
showing required efficiency in letting
the murderer go. after he practically
ran into them. L am going to have
talk with both policemen in my private
office and find out just how ii hap
pened. The facts that l have been
able TO accumulate have mostly devel-
Oped from hearsay sources
After he had killed Patten in the
Heidelberg saloon at 1:5O o'clock yes
terday morning, Speedy" dashed out OF
the front door and, in ZigZag fashion,
ran flush into Patrolman Patterson.
Realizing that chad run into the
hands OF the law, Speedy" told the pa
trOlmans that there was a fight in the
alley near the Heidelberg. The ruse
worked to perfection on Patterson, who
dashed into the saloon while Speedy
was making his escape.
The fugitive met. PatrOlman Slester
Is minutes later Collapsing over
mail box before the patrOlman, he
thought he would be captured, and in
a confession moaned, 81 killed him!

Asleep TO the opportunity OF cap

him TO the city jail and charge him
man OF the underworld, appeared.
That's my man. III take him home,
she cried, and the policeman relln-
quished the hold on the murderer. The
Kelly woman is said 20 have been in
love with both Patten and SPEEDY
She was locked up in the city jail hours
after the tragedy and later released
1t is believed that she was 10 a large
extent responsible for the murder, be
cause OF the rivalry for her affections
COnfesses to bartender.
After he had slipped away from Pa
trOlman Sleater the murderer ran 70
the Bank saloon, in West Second Soulh
street, and asked Clarence Drake, the
all-night bartender for a pint OF wills
ky. AS he was putting the bottle IN
his pocket, SPEEDY" shouted, Il have
killed my friend Tim" and dashed out
of the door. He has not been seen
since, and members of the detective de
partment seemed positive last night
that he left Salt Lake Immediately.
a year ago Patten was arrested by
the local police for Butte, Mont, where
he was wanted on a charge OF being a
pickpOcket. Local friends of Patten
raised money Tor his relase. They
were unsuccessful. and he was held In
the Butte jail ten months. When Pat
ten was in jail, the Kelly woman went
10 live with Speedy" Patten came
10 Salt Lake from Denver, where he
had an unsavOry reputation. one or
his aliases was Churchill.
Two murders in Salt Lakes all-night
saloons within a week and both COM
mitted within few minutes OF a. m,
when the saloons are supposed 10 De

official head.
JUST how far the responsibility OF
the city administration extends for
the blood of these victims is likely 10

meeting of the city council. In the

has been instructed to enforce the mid
night closing ordinance until public IN

4 resolution by j. w. Mckinney, call
| ing on James TedescO to appear before
the council and explain why his saloon
was open al a. m, when his bartender
was murdered. was referred TO the IL
/ cense committee, the police committee
/ and the chief OF police at the last resu-
I lar meeting of the council. AT that
/ time Councilman L. z. Hall wanted the
order directed against the chief or po-
/ lice, who he said, was responsible Tor
! the saloon being open at that hour.
] This proposition was voted down IN
/ short order and the council refused at
that time to instruct the chief OF police
TO see that the saloons were closed at
1 midnight.
In speaking on Mr.. McKinney's reso-
I lauOn. Councilman NJ. +. Muivey said
there were violations OF the city Ordi-
nances every hour of the day by hum
dreds of men besides the saloon keep
ers and he was against strict en-
foTcement OF the liquor ordinance.
MuIVey's Easy Philosophy.
Those men might have been shot
in any other business house." said Mi
Mulvey last night. The man who killed
Patten was crazy with cocaine and
such men are likely TO kill anyone al
any time whether they happen TO be II
a saloon or a grocery store"
| Councilman L. +. Hall says he vii
make a determined effort TO bring
| a bout an enforcement of the liquor or
dinance Il don't believe anyone SHOULD
jump on TedescO simply because M
had the misfortune to lose a bartender,
he said, for 1 am informed that there
are so saloons open after midnight il
Salt Lake every night. 1t don't look Xix,
good business TO pick out the saloons
where murders are committed aftel
/ closing hours and let the others VIC
late the law with impunity. In fact
l can't see the use in the members o
the council passing a few new ordi
nances every week unless they ART
enforced.
/ F. :. FernstrOm said yesterday tina
he would join in any movement tina
looked towards forcing the chief of pO
lice TO enforce the city ordinances.
Walter c. Lyme, a member of the Ii
! cense committee, also favored the en-
fOrcement of the midnight closing Ordi
nance, although he said he had no per
sonal knowledge that most Of the sa
looms were open after the closing hour
