HAD THREATENED Mr..
SHAPIRO? It did nothing of
the kind. NOSE BARNETT is
WALKING THE STREETS OF
MINNEAPOLIS TODAY A
FREE MAN, yet the police de-
partment KNOW, for Mr.. Sha-
piro has so informed it, that
Barnett was the man who
threatened him, who offered to
elk" it for him with his (Bar-
nett's) employers, THE DRY
CLEANERS ASSOCIATION
OR ALLIANCE, whichever the
devil it is, if he would join
them, and pay his tribute to
the gang to the extent of one
hundred dollars and that ten
per month as "dues."
l call the present grand
jury's attention to these fail
ures on the part of the Mime
apolis police department to
make any arrests in the Sha-
piro case. I call their attention
to the fact that Shapiro has
positively identified the men
whom Sheriff Earle Brown ar
rested for the assault on Mr..
Guilford, as the men who
threw the acid over his stock
of goods. l further call their
attention to the fact that the
police made no arrests when
four witnesses identified the
thugs who beat Joe LIGHTER
man, owner Of the Radio Dry
Cleaners in Midway / call
their attention to the further
fact that Nose Barnett has
never been arrested by the po-
lice for his direct threat to
harm Samuel Shapiro and the
fact that less than ten days
AFTER that threat was made
AND REPORTED TO THE
POLICE, Shapiro's place of
business was forcibly entered
by armed men and his stock
destroyed by acid thrown by
these same men.
| suggest to the present
grand jury that it at once
launch an investigation to de-
termine WHY NOSE BAR
NETT, KNOWN CANISTER,
ADMITTED GUNMAN, IS
IMMUNE FROM ARREST in
the face of the fact that he is
KNOWN to have a record"
that he has threatened Sam
Shapiro and his threat was
later carried out; that he

ment, but no arrests were
made.
One morning a tough bird
entered Shapiro's store and
bluntly informed the proprie-
tor that: 81 am Nose Barnett.
I'm the guy who shot Roy Rog-
ers at Sixth. and Hennepin Ave-
nue." (and he might have add
ed that he wasn't detained at
police headquarters long
enough to finish a half smoked
stogie, for that actD But if
Nose Barnett thought for a
moment that he was ''heaving
a scare" into Sam Shapiro with
that declaration of tough-iden-
tity, he was mistaken. Shapiro
merely lifted his eyes and
looked the gangman over
thoughtfully so Moe" babbled
on to the effect that he was
sent down by his employers,
the firms composing the "alli-
ance" or gang" or whatever
you care to call them-(sure,
the grand jury can have their
names at any time!) with in
structions to bring him into
camp" as a member or let him
take the consequences and once
more Sam Shapiro. let his eyes
stray easily over the gangster's
insolent shape.
"And, what would be the
penalty if he refused 2" Again
big Moe" waxed garrulous.
Sam was credulous as we'll as
adamant. He felt that he knew
his business and the combine"
hadn't elevated themselves in
his estimation to any marked
extent by past acts or present
emissalies. He was just a trifle
choice of the company he kept.
Business firms who employed
gangsters to beat up poor dew
ills who drove delivery trucks
and who paid sneaks to mix
destructive acids with cleaning
fluids didn't appeal to Sam
Shapiro as being desirable as
sociates."
Moe admitted that Shapiro
HAD been damaged to the ex-
tent of one thousand dollars
and promised that on the fol-
lowing day he would bring two
of his employers down to Sha-
piro's store where the quartet
would engage in a friendly
''jaw-fest" and get the matter
settled. Shapiro is willing to
give Moe credit for trying to
keep his promise. The three,
Moe and two of his employers
visited Shapiro the next day
and served an ultimatum to the
effect that he must join the
association" first and accept
settlement later.
The limitation" fee was one
hundred dollars and the
monthly dues equalled ten
pesos more-a nice total of
one hundred ard tsa dollars
Shapiro was to pay IN ORDER
TO BECOME A MEMBER OF
THE GANG WHO HAD AL

READY DAMAGED HIM TO
THE ADMITTED EXTENT OF
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

THE ADMITTED EAlENl Or
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Think what a miserable
piker Jesse James was! Why,
Jesse rode a horse AND
SLEPT OUTDOORS!
Once more Shapiro's eyes
swept three forms instead of
one with that same steady, al
most gentle, glance and the
meeting ended. A few days
later he received registered
letter which contained an ap-
plication for membership with
a curt request for prompt re-
ply and one hundred and ten
dollars. Well, it hasn't been
answered yet.
Shortly after, he received a
phone call from Barnett, tell
ing him that his "days of
grace" had about expired and
when big Moe" hung up the
receiver, he knew once more
where he could go with Sam
Shapiro's full consent. Things
happened fast after that phone
conversation.
In the meantime Shapiro had
reported these things to the po-
lice department but without re-
suit except that a guard was
placed in his store for several
nights.
The morning after the guard
was-1emoyed an auto drove up
to Sam Shapiro's place of bust
ness and four men, heavily
armed. rushed in and with vile
oaths ordered Shapiro and his
employees to line up against the
wall. Shapiro was slow to obey
and he was brutally beaten
with a heavy gun. The gang
worked swiftly. They sprayed
acid over the entire stock and
with an utter disregard for hui
man forms. When they had
finished, they drove away.
Again the police were ap-
pealed to. Were any arrests
made? That's fool question
six million and twenty-nine
There were NOT!
On the following Monday,
one of the editors of this paper,
Mr.. Guilford, was waylaid by

blood. But these killers didn't
know their geography! They
shot too quick. Mr.. Guilford

time of the shooting.
