DROWNED IN LAKE
County Attorney ShotweIl
Expresses Opinion Evidence
Does Not Warrant Official

Il 10 unlikely that there will be

when attending a picnic held by pu
pills Of st. Agnes convent music
class.
~ have been unable to place any
criminal responsibility for the trag
edy," A. V. Shotwell, county attor-
ney, said yesterday morning. There
may have been some negligence, and
there doubtless was, but there has
not yet been presented to me facts
that would warrant an official probe
into circumstances leading up to the
tragedy. However, Paul Steinwen-
der is looking into the matter now,
and until | get his last report | shall
not definitely decided what to do"
The four who lost their lives were
Josephine Fritz. IS. 25l2 Q street;
Theresa Duffy, IA, 4622 South Twen-
ty-third street; Anna Grabusich
Krissman, IA, 5428 South Twenty
third street, and Edward Schneider,
10, 27l7 South Twentythird street.
There were II rescued. The acct
dent occurred in 10 feet of water,
the center and deepest part of the
small lake at Riverview park.
Gloom Over St. Agnes.
A pail OF gloom descended on St.
Agnes parish Thursday night when
word of the quadruple tragedy came
to South Side. Mothers of children
at the picnic in Riverview were fran
tic until assured their offspring were
safe. Yesterday morning this gloom
was not dispelled. 1t dampened the
ardor for the holiday and many who
had planned coming into Omaha to
witness the parades remained at
home.
Mrs. Duffy, mother of Josephine,
one Of those drowned, became hys
terical at Riverview park, where she
had hurried imme diately after re-
ceiving word her daughter had lost
her life. Little Joe Schneider en-
deavored to jump into the lake when
his brothers body was brought
ashore. Strong hands held him back
and he was finally put into an auto
mobile and taken home by friends of
the family.
1t is likely that burial of the four
viii be made Monday when public
funeral will be held.
