chief is to go to GAINESVILLE where
he will get julius DeClerk, alleged
moron, who jumped bail some time
ago and was located in Janesville
by his bondsman, H. E. Dwight.
AS soon as the chief returns to
Beloit with DeClerk, he and Lar
son will bring the three men wanted
here back to Moline, where they
are scheduled to arrive at 1921 to-
night.
Jury Gives Murder Verdict.
After three hours of deliberation
and testimony, the coroner's jury
which met at the Barnard Funeral
home at 1 yesterday afternoon. re-
turned a verdict of murder, more
literally that ''the death of Angelo
Frankvilla was caused by gunshot
wounds, inflicted with murderoul
intent by some unknown person OF
persons"
At the inquest. the police officers
who had been following the case
told the story of the clues and the
way in which they were followed
up. Sergeant Stewart and Patrol
man Zahn described the scene of
the murder as they found it
Charles Pegara. who discovered the
body of the dead man lying along
the Milwaukee tracks east Of Sec
ond street. told his story of the
search for Frankvilla.
Larson Traces Clew.
Patrolman Larson, who played
the biggest part in locating the
! men seized at Beloit, told how he
had pieced the evidence together
that led to the conclusion that tht
two men had left for the Wisconsin
| city.
To be used as evidence in connec
tion with the revolver taken from
the men held at Beloit, three bullet:
were removed by DR.. J. NJ. Woot
| and DR.. A. d. West, who ATTENDED
the inquest. One bullet was re
moved from the shoulder, one from
the chest, and one from the spina
column. Another bullet was locat
/ ed behind the left ear, but it wa
not thought necessary to remove il
The bullets were .3S calibre, whicl
supersedes the theory that Frank
villa was killed with 80 calibe
! weapon.
The jury, in its verdict, made n
recommendation that the Delorenz
brothers be held. States Attorne
Bell said that there was no need c
any such recommendation in thi
case. He also stated that b
would attend the preliminary hea,
ing and would handle the case pc!
sonally.
