PRUNING SHEARS AT BOY
Taking Of testimony in the trial of
Nick NIGGA, Saddle and Cycle club
gardener charged with the murder of
Will UlTich was begun before Judge
Geo. Barrett in criminal court today.
Ulrich was the Lad of Is who died
as result of wounds in his back re-
ceived when a pair of pruning shears
was imbedded in his back while he
was walking along the lake edge Of
the Saddle and Cycle clubs ground.
Two of Ulrich's six companions on
that day, Bert hOftus, 1926 Winnie
mac aY., and Rob't Mccarthy, 5251
Wayne av., today on the witness
stand told how the boys had left the
Argyle beach to go to the EdgeWater
hotel pier because there was no other
place where they might dive.
The ultra-eXclusiVe Saddle and
Cycle club occupies a $5OO,O0O lot
that extends between Foster and
Berwyn avs, from Sheridan road
, clear to the lake. To keep common
people off it's beach, the club built
fence into the lake.
When the boys went north to the
hotel pier, said Lotus and Mccarthy,
they crossed the clubs grounds after
getting permission from the clubs
chef. The waves on the lake were
very heavy that afternoon, especially
when time came to go home, so the
boys had to abandon a plan to swim
around the club on the way home.
If they walked down Sheridan road
in their bathing suits without a robe
they would be arrested, so they de-
cided to cross again the Saddle and
Cycle clubs grounds by walking near
the edge of the lake where they felt
they would disturb no one.
Young Ulrich was walking little
in advance of the rest of the boys.
Inside the fence they met NIGGA, said
the witnesses, and asked him three

said LOTUS, NIGGA started to chase
UlTich. He saw he could not catch
him so he drew the shears back over
his shoulder and threw them at Will.
The blow knocked VIII off the break
water down onto the beach. He got
up and started to run again, but
dropped after a few feet. Mega
picked up the shears and ran away"

hibit, accidentally dropped them on

clatter and bang. The two steel
blades were perhaps a foot long,
while each handle was as thick as a
baseball bat and about half as long.

the boys did not try to force their
way by NIGGA, did not sass" him and
made no threats. They understood
by his actions that they had his per-
