MAY CALL SPECIAL
GRAND JURY SESSION

With Police Justice William 6
Welch. of Annapolis. acting as
coroner, a jury of inquest began
sessions at the county Jail on
calvert street at o'clock this
afternoon to probe thoroughly
the circumstances attending the
gun fight at Belle Grove Inn. in
upper Anne Arundel county, off
the Brooklyn Park road, early
Sunday morning. as the result OF
which one man was instantly kill
ed, and number of others in
jured.
1t IS not unlikely that the grand
jury will be called into special
session. States Attorney James
NJ. Munroe has suggested to
Judge Moss that such action be
taken. This, however, will be de-
pendent upon the result of the i'm
quest.
Forty Under Arrest
Thirty-four persons who were at the
inn when Sheriff Harry T. Levely,
and his deputies of this county, and
Baltimore city detectives and police
officials, raided the place, spent last
night in Jail here.
Six more were added to the list this
morning. They were brought down
this morning from Baltimore by
Sheriff Levely. after having spent the
night in police stations there, the ia'l
being too crowded to take care OF
them. Michael Cadora. also known as
'NIoots" Dillon" is the man who was
shot dead. The shooting OF Dillon
was the signal for gun fight that il
said 10 have lasted for half an hour,
and during which many lives were
endangered
Who Fired Fatal Shot, Question
Who fred the fatal shot at Dillon
probably win be a difficult problem
for the inquest to solve, as there were
eight gunmen in the party when the
trouble first began and in the general
melee that followed there was much
confusion. The majority of the per-
sons arrested, 1t is said, are held as
States witnesses, though II Is not un-
likely that one or more of them were
among the main principals. None OF
them has discussed the affair, nor
have newspaper men been permitted
20 talk with them since they have
been in jail here. IT was a noisy
crowd that spent the night in the CAL
vert street institution as "boarders"
5t the expense of the county. All
hands seemed to be pretty well ac-
quainted, judging from the almost
constant conversation that continued
Until well after midnight. Loud,
boisterous, and In some cases profane,
was the line of talk that one could
hear. The prisoners were scattered
in cells on all three tiers of the Jail.
Fight Between @Gangs"
j The battle, from information that
has been gathered, was between
heavily armed members Of the "Bec-
ker gang" and the "McCracken gang"
groups, authorities say.
The dead man, whose name first
was given as George jenkins, was
positively identified last night as
Michael Cadora, an Italian, whose
home is 1872 One Hundredth street,
New York City. who has been in Bal
timore for the last three years.
Lived At Pasadena :.
Cadora, also known as Moot or
: Moody" Dillon. has spent his time re-
Gently at farm at Pasadena, ownel
by Leonard Mccarthy, a son of the
! late DR.. John T. Mccarthy, former po-
; lice examiner. Mccarthy was arrest
ed last night in the Central district,
} Baltimore. after he had voluntarily
: come to the city from the farm when
q he learned the police wanted him,
Mccarthy went to the morgue and
identified Cadora.
