of stories are being written and all
sorts of demands are being made upon
officials of the city.

WINGED that the police are doing every
thing in their power to find the man

no reason to offer any criticism. If
these men have any facts which are
pertinent to the case, they should turn
them over to the police at once"

Mayor Says Satisfied.
81 am satisfied in every way with the
work that is being done on this case"
said Mayor Joachim this morning.
"The attempt Of these fellows to show
a laxity on the part of our local Off
GERS will not appeal to anyone with
brains. l know that the chief has been
working every hour of the day and the
clews have every one been followed.
l know that he has examined twenty
five people in connection with this case
but the fact that he has not told every
one of his work IS not to be held
against him. If some Of these fellows
are so clever, let them go ahead"
Chief O'Hare was at his Office after
night of work this morning. "Just
say that / am not going to besmirch
the memory of the dead or traffic in
the regulations of women in order to
make newspaper story" was the
comment Of the chief.
Parker Ready for impeachment.
Coroner Parker admitted that de-
mands had been upon him to hold an
inquest in the Pacini case. Evidently
these reporters from other cities have
no conception of the Wisconsin law"
said the coroner. 1T is our duty to
find out how the man came to his death
and we are entirely satisfied. It's not
up to us to recommend the indictment
of anyone. We have no information
on which to base any such indictments.
