On Husbands Death Through Police Stupidity

an acre and half of garden at Ben

fore he died he was out there Gull

Rose Redin, one of the daughters,
substantiated her mothers state
ment.
Mrs. Redin 10 delicate little
woman. She bears up bravely un-
der her burden OF tribulation.
Though the family is in AFFECT cir.
cumstances, this is not the cause OF
her greatest grief. She wants the
stain, with which the police have
ackened her husbands name re-
moved. Il cannot bear to think
that these men, without reason,
would attack the good name and
blacken the reputation Of my limo
cent and dead husband" she said.
Mrs. Redin>came to this country
from Bohemia in 1891, because, she
said, she read of America as the land
of the free. Mr.. Redin, who was 50
years old at the time Of his death,
came from Sweden when he was l6
years old. The little woman de-
clared she had been looking forward
to her silver wedding anniversary,
which was to have been celebrated
soon. There are four children in the
family.
II have just SIS to my name"
she declared. "but l would give my

The Police Report.
dumped into cistern in backyard
with suicidal intent. Mr.. Redin
came to his home in an intoxicated
condition and went straight back to
the yard and jumped into the els
tern"
This is the report Detectives
Thestrup and Herdzina made Of
their Investigation of the affair.
Redin still was alive when the two
detectives responded to the distress
cali an hour late According to wit
nesses, the officers made absolutely
no attempt to revive the man, who
was rescued from the water by
neighbors five minutes after he fell
into the cistern.
Because of the report made by
Thestrup and Herdzina the insur-
ance company has refused to pay
$1,000 which Mr.. Redin had carried
on his life for p years.
Mr.. Redin is known to have had
$33 in his pocket when he fell into
the cistern. After the police placed
the dying man into an automobile
to convey him to the hispital the
money could not be found.
Detectives Thestrup and Herd
zina gained the notion as soon as
they arrived at the house that
whisky was being concealed on the
place. Instead of devoting their
attention to an effort to revivng
the victim they instituted a search
for liquor. After dragging the els
tern for half an hour, according to
witnesses, they threw the man into
the patrol wagon, face downward
on the floor.
I Eye Gouged Out.
One Of Redin's eyes was knocked
out because of the rough treatment
When a member of the family pro-
tested against the inhuman treat
ment, he was threatened with arrest
by the officers.
Redin died a short while after he
arrived at the hospital. Death was
due to absolute neglect and rough
treatment he was accorded at the
hands of the police.
Without consulting relatives and
friends of the dead man, the police
assumed the responsibility of order
ing the body sent to an undertaking
establishment of their own choice.
Before the widow was allowed to
have the body removed to Frank
Junda's undertaking parlors, she was
compelled to pay the undertaken
chosen by the police SIS. She was

told she could not bury her husband
until she had paid the undertaken
selected by the police.
When Mrs. Redjn told her story to
T. H. Werlich, superintendent of the
welfare board. he was impressed
with the invalid widows plight and
promised to assist her in every pos
sible way. Already he has taken the
matter up with the insurance COM
pany. Mr.. Werlich also declared he
would do all he could to disprove the
false report of Thestrup and Herd
zina referring to the mans suicidal
intent when he fell into the cistern.
The fremen who pumped out the
cistern secuted the idea when they
were told the police believed there
was intoxicating liquor there.
Arrived Without Doctor.
"After we telephoned at least a
half dozen times for assistance from
the police, and while my husband lay
unconscious on the ground by the
opening to the cistern, the police ar
rived without a doctor nearly an
hour after the body had been taken
from the water" said Mrs. Redin.
II believe his life would have been
saved if physician had responded to
the call. When my daughter first
called she was told that there was no
physician or policemen at the sta
ton who could be sent at that time.
"As soon as the policemen arrived
the first question they asked was
how much whisky there was in the
cistern. They tried to make me be-
lieve my husband was looking for
liquor when he fell in. Then they re-
ported he committed suicide. Later
| asked the fire department to pump
the cistern out. They found only an
old kettle at the bottom.
There was no liquor there and
never had been, nor was the $50 my
husband had in his pocket to be
found.
John told me he was going to buy
present for our silver wedding an
niversary with the money. HI came
home from work that day about 4
o'clock. l remarked to him that he
looked tired. He said he was over
heated and played out. About J
o'clock he said he was going out to
get some water for the chickens and
geese. He went to the cistern and
my daughter heard him fall into the
water. I know he was dizzy when
he fell, because he was not well. He
was not thinking of suicide. He had

Neither distance nor altitude rec

success, however, in view of the
experience gained by an encounter
with high winds and electric storms,
according to Maj. NJ. J. O'Brien,
one of the crew of the Cannon
Ball"
1--WE encountered weather condi-
tons which perhaps no other bal
loonists have met, and survived"
said Major O'Brien. The storm
seemed to be at least three miles
thick, and we could neither rise
above it. or get beneath it.

1--WE were at the complete mercy
of the elements for over two hours,
and finally forced to land in the
center of a corn field four miles
south OF Ringsted, Ia.
Lieuts. R. |. Thompson and J. B.
Jordan, who after II hours in the
air, landed near Wyocena, Wis, to
avoid a storm into which they were
heading, also had exciting expert
ences battling the elements in Bal
loon No. 2.
1--WE were travelling at a height
of 2,40O feet" said Lieutenant
Thompson, when we hit storm
that sent us down to 500 feet in
less time than it takes to tell it.
The basket of the balloon many
times swung in the wind as high as
the bag itself"
Both Lieuts. w. E. Huffman and
w. E. Connally, in charge of bal
loon No. 3, say they have never
witnessed such startling displays of
lightning. Balloon No. 3 landed
near Green, Ia, after flight of 10
hours. longer than any of their 9TH
er fellow pilots.
They state that they believe they
travelled in circles most of the time
while they were in the midst OF the
storm, as a light constantly reap
peared in their line of vision.
