Ounce street and caused his death.
The county board of supervisors act
ing on an appeal presented to them
by District Attorney Morris Barnett
offered this reward this morning for
or conviction of the party or parties
any information leading to the arrest
responsible for the mans death.
The driver of the car evidenced no
mercy for his victim according to the
statements regarding the accident
made by District Attorney Barnett be-
fore the county board this morning.
He told how, after striking the man,
the driver had stopped his car and how
two men from the car had gone back,
dragged the lifeless body of the vic
tim to the curling and then hurried
back to the automobile and speeded
away.
The members of the county board
voted unanimously to offer o reward

death. 1t was pointed out that every

ing to motorists who would dare to
leave their victims dying along the
roadway. es
There were several. witnesses to the
accident and many OF these saw the
death car. 1t is believed possible
that some one of these spectators may
be able to give to the district attorney
additional information regarding the
automobile and the driger and occu-
pants of it. Every EFFORT Mas now
been made to follow the meager clews
which were given voluntarily by the
witnesses regarding the identity of
these men.

The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1924-04-03

Sunday night at 9:56 o'clock Ser
geant Matthew j. Kirsch on duty at
the police Office answered telephone
call and heard a voice say, Come out
to the corner of Pearl street and How
land avenue right away. There's some
shooting going on"
To the police it was an echo of old
west side shooting matches, and they
lost no time in getting under way.
Assasistant Chief Cyzak, Lieut.. Rock
and Officers Tusler and Pecan immedi-
ately swung two police cars right
about-face in the direction of west on
Market. When they arrived at the
corner of Parl streets and Rowland
avenue, thought it was barely five min
utes after the call had come in, all
was quiet.
It was apparent, however, though
chilly snow fakes of a cold Wiscon-
sin night fell silently about them, that
hot italian blood was out, and that
gun-play had been in action.
Nobody Lying Dead.
The four officer searched the envir-
ons but sow no one lying in the gutter
with his brains blown out. Previous
experiences in the same quarter on
the westa side have made them pre-
pared to meet such spectacles, par
ticularly upon receiving a call of like
the one that had just come in at head
quarters.
The police questioned the spectator
who had sent in the police alarm and
learned that three men had been en-
gagged in alteration on the street cor
ner.
According to the informant, who had
viewed the scene from nearby build
ing. one or two shots were fired dur
ing the argument and then all three
men started running west on Pearl
street.
Arrest Perry Petro.
Police Officers Tusler and Pecan,
scouting further in the neighborhood
came into group of men in the pool
room which is on the south side of
Pearl and between Rowland avenue and
Brockett street. There they found
Perry Petro, 1O5 Newell street, carry
ing gun.
Petro was taken down to the police
office and charged with carrying con-
cealed weapon. The gun was]a Harris
and Richardson bulldog revolver, a
80, and had one loaded shell and two
empty ones.
Petro had nothing to say when
placed under arrest. He insisted that
he had carried the gun only for SEX
protection and with no desire to get
the other fellow"
The little argument Sunday night
recalled to the police the feud of
Frank Iaquinta and Frank Chiappetti,
as result of which Iaquinta is now
doing time in the state prison at Wau-
pun. These two men and their friends
carried on feud of some years dura-
ton, resulting in one killing, when
Frank Iaquinta (another of the same
name as the present convict) was IA
tally shot within block of the place
where Sunday nights quarrel occurred.
There was nothing to indicate that
there was anything of the old feud
in the little affair of Sunday night,
however So far as the police have
been able to determine there were
none of the intimate friends of either
Chiappetti or Iaquinta mixed up in
it. Also they have not been able to
learn that anyone was wounded.

Dill Has Resolution De-
handing Resignation of
Roosevelt.
TO FIGHT FOR MELLON
Republicans Show Willingness
to Battle to Keep Him in
the Cabinet Now.

MISUNDERSTANDING for remov-
al from office of Theodore ROOse-
welt, assistant secretary of the ma
Wy, was renewed in the senate to-
day by Senator Dill, Democrat of
Washington. Declaring the assist
ant secretary was far more culp-
able than was his superior, Score
tary DENLY, in the leasing of the
naval oil reserves, the Washington
senator introduced a resolution de7
cIaring it to be the sense of the
senate that President Coolidge
should call for his resignation.
The resolution charges Roosevelt
with having been director of the
Sinclair Oil company previous to
entering the government service
and stresses that he ordered mar
ines to remove oil claimants from
the Teapot Dome reserve.
Washington.-Harry F. Sinclair,
lessee of Teapot Dome, was indict-
ed by a federal grand jury here
today on contempt charges growing
out of his refusal to testify before
the senate oil committee.
The Indictment was in 10 counts,
each referring to a specific ques-
tion asked the oil operator when
he was last before the committee.
The grand jurors held that these
questions, all of which Sinclair re-
fused to answer, were pertinent to-
the matters and questions then un-
der inquiry before the said COM
mittee."
