EDWARD NEWMAN Is
FOUND DEAD in BED

< Continued from page ID
overcome by the shadow that had
crossed their lives and hearts, told him
that the car in which he had been
riding had struck Coroner Parker and
his daughter and that they probably
would not live.
Was Summoned 20 Court.
Newman became white and silent.
From then on, it was observed that
he reiterated into himself. 1t was
difficult to get a word from him. He
went his way TO work day after day,
an altered man, brooding, anguished.
The death, first of Miss Jean Parker,
then of the coroner, sent him still
further into the lonely retreat of his
own troubled being. He avoided liquor
and liquor haunts as it were the
plague.
He was charged with being an ac-
cessory after the fact of manslaughter
and this charge like an acid, ate away
the last remnants of his peace of mind.
It is believed, however, that he would
never have been convicted on this
charge, as he was in the rear seat
asleep when the accident happened.
Tuesday night Detective John Breidt
of the police department called at the
house and talked with Newman. He
told him that he was to appear in
court this morning to be a witness in
the trials of the four liquor men
charged with selling him and the
others moonshine.
The family did not notice that New
man became even more Respondent
over this message. Instead he seemed
to "perk up" He talked with the
others in a kind and friendly way.
This morning they know that he was
saying Goodbye"
Edward Newman was born in Brigh-
ton, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Christopher
Newman. The parents are dead. He
is survived by three brothers, Charles
and Louis Newman of Brighton, and
Christopher Newman of Kenosha, and
two sisters, Mrs. Annie Schlax of
Kenosha, and Miss Catherine New
man of Brighton.
He was a member of the Eagles
lodge and of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way workers.
Funeral announcement will be made
later.

Resided in This County
Near Salem.
GET DEATH MESSAGES

Kenosha joined/today in the mourn
ing for those lives taken by the lorna
do in Northern Wisconsin when 1t be-
came known that of the victims four
were formerly residents of kenosha
county and that possibly fifth form
er resident of the county had died from
injuries received in the storm.
Relatives in Kenosha received tele-
grams on Monday evening telling OF
the deaths of the following former
Kenoshans in the storm region:
Mrs. Sam Munson, aged so, formerly
resident of the town of Salem and
member of pioneer family there, be-
ing a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh
MINIS, long leaders in the community
life there. Informal reports also de-
clared that her husband, Samuel Mum
SON was also killed, but this report has
not yet been confirmed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Norris and nine
year old daughter, all three killed
when the tornado swept their farm
near the town of Owen.
Storm Sweeps Munson Farm.
While no details regarding the death
of Mrs. Munson and the probable
death of her husband could be secur-
ed. it was learned that their farm was
struck by the storm and that all OF
the buildings there were wrecked be-
cause of it. It is presumed that they
were caught under the wreckage.
Word was received from Louis Sher1
and family, formerly of Kenosha, but
who now live on the farm adjoining
that of the Munsons near the village
of Withee in northern Wisconsin, that
the storm had strangely missed thell
farm and that all of them were un'
harmed. This message told briefly
that the storm had swept the Munsor
farm and taken it's death toll there.
Told of Brothers Death.
Mrs. William Peterson Of Salem re-
ceived a telegram Monday Afternoon
telling her of the tragic death OF he1
only brother, Harry Norris, on his farm
near Withee Sunday afternoon. Nor
ris was instantly killed when caught
under the wreckage. Later reports, al
carried in Milwaukee papers, declare
that Mrs. Norris and their nine yea
old daughter have since died. An in
| FAINT daughter is also said to be neal
| death.
Besides Mrs. Peterson, three Other
sisters of Mr.. Norris reside in this
vicinity, these being Mrs, Charles Cur

er Mrs. Meter was substituted and
the then district attorney recommend
ed that she be treated leniently be-
fore the court Can Mr.. Symmonds
tell why?
as Mr.. Symmonds grooming himself
for an independent candidacy for the
office Of district attorney?
SIN the April court calendar under
my administration alone there were
seventy-one cases brought before me
for prosecution. In only one there
was no conviction. Seventy convic-
tions And this prosecution did not
cost the county one extra dollar. And
in these cases prosecutions were made
and convictions secured against the
defense of the most able lawyers in
the local bar.
Asks SymmOnds to File Charges.
"Mr. Symmonds speaks of open vi
olations throughout the county that
he has knowledge of, orsthat he has
been informed of. AS a loyal citizen
of this community why does rot Mr..
Symmonds practice what he breaches
and come up to this Office and file
complaints against these people? He
pleads for the citizens of this COM
munity to do something to clean up
the situation. Why does ne not take
some action himself? The Office of the
district attorney has never under the
present administration refused to is
sue a warrant or receive complaint
and give it to the proper authorities
for investigation. If Mr.. Symmonds
has definite knowledge of places which
are being run in open violation of the
law / invite hi INTO place the facts be-
fore me and prosecution will follow.
Unless he does that he is not fulfill
ing the duties of the loyal citizen
which he points out, Mr.. Symmonds
points out that barn dances are being
carried on in open violation of the
law If he will come forward and
place formal complaints I will prose
cute them.
"The Office of the district attorney
is open to all officers and citizens of
Kenosha county for the filing Of com
plants based upon definite evidence
and facts. When this is done it is
my duty to issue warrants for the Of
ficers who are duly delegated to make
the arrests in the case. When the
arrests are made it is the duty of the
district attorney to prosecute.
Is Not Consulted.
"When the townships of the county
or the city council of Kenosha issue
a permit for the operation of q soft
drink parlor the district attorney or
the sheriff is not consulted. There is
no consultation as far as these two
officers are concerned of the propriety
in issuing licenses in the city or in
the county.
"Mr, Symmon6s continues to mis-
quote tthe duties of the district at
torney. Whether this is for deliber-
ate political propaganda or not | do
not know, nor do care. In his own
experience Mr.. Symmonds should know
what the duties of such an office are.
1 am serving the public as a lawyer
serves his client. There is perfect co.
operation between this Office and all
officials of Kenosha county. Law en-
forcement is not a choice, it is n com
mand. Neither Mr.. Symmonds MOI
anyone else can point cut one solitary
time when this Office refused to act
on charges brought before it."

Kirsch's Squad Hits Four
Places and Brings in
Many Samples.
BEER, WINE AND MOON
Liquor Men Come into Court
This Morning and All
Say 'fNot Guilty.

If you had the chance to look at it
this morning and in particular smell
it. you would wonder chow come" that
men, some men, will fight for 1T, and
swear by it, and kill one another for
it.
There it was, a tableful of stuff,
moonshine and more moonshine, bot
ties and bottles of home-brew, and to
make the exhibit complete, some "red
ink wine.
Sergeant Matthew J. Kirsch was the
successful raider who brought the ba-
con home this time. He was accom-
panied by Officers Mitchell, Chase and
Reynolds and the places where the
stuff was found were the following:
Paul Kulesis, 3O1 North Chicago St.
Frank Andreaskis, 700 Strong st.
Grin Heating, S2S s. Newell st.
Stafan Karawaew, FOL Strong st.
All Plead Not Guilty.
It may be considered foregone con-
clusion that all of the men charged
with unlawful possession, came into
court this morning and pleaded not
guilty, except Stefan Karawaew.
Most of the moonshine and most of
the home brew too, was found at the
place of Frank Andreauskis, 709 Strong
street. The man pleaded not guilty
and his lawyer said that the defense
would be that he had no permit (sic)
and that the police raided it without
search warrant.
C+afan KarswanIy was another of the
"absent" saloohkeepers, it was learned
today, for he was not in town. His case
was continued for few days. Moon
shine was found at the saloon at 701
Strong street, which is run under his
name.
Serving Over the Bar.
At the premises of Orrin Heating,
S2S South Newell street, the police
found William Larson, no Market
street drinking at the bar, according
to their report. Larson, the police say,
said that the beer he had been drink
ing was served him over the bar by
Heating. Heating was charged with
serving drinks over bar contrary to
law. His case was continued to Oc-
tober 1 at a. m.
Moon and wine, the police report
read, was found at Kulesis, place. He
pleaded not guilty and his case was

ACCUSED OF HAVING
 MURDERED TWENTY.T
Mother of One Victim Discloses Han- over, Germany, Man as Fiend-
 ish Murderer.

Hanover, Germany, July 1o.-The list of murders attributed to a man named Haarmann, who already has been found to have slain 22 persons, is growing as several families whose sons recently disappeared but who up until now had not suspected that they might have been the victims of the mass murderer, have begun searches to discover whether the missing men might have been killed by him.
 Frau Schulcnburg of Berlin, who came here to look for her son, found his hat, his handkerchief and four of his ties in Haarmann's cellar. The cellar is a low room made sound proof by boards and thick wall paper and built close to the Leine river into which the murderer cast parts of the bodies of his victims. The fact that the room is lighted only by a lamp led to Haarmann's undo ing. One person who was enticed into the cellar overturned the lamp and escaped in the darkness.
