DES MOINES. Aug. .(Special.) Tba
brutal murder of Isaac Flnkelstein, ex-po-llceman.
Pes Moines, last night, ha com
pletely torn up the city and today ther
ha been a great deal of excitement. Ther
is no doubt In the mind of anyone that
th murder waa th direct result of th
activity of Plnkelstetn In prosecuting gamb
lers and causing the closing up ot their
placea. Thla haa enraged th people
greatly and caused a revolution of feeling
against th gamblers.
This morning two persons were arrested
In connection with the crime, neither one.
however, suspecter of being the actual crim
inal. They were Henry Levich, a broker,
who had quarreled with Flnkelstsln, and
"Butch" Dellahoyt, who had been connected
with th gambling bousea. It wa claimed
that th former had quarreled with FlnX
elsteln on several occasions and there waa
bitter words. Dellahoyt waa accused of
being one of the gambler who had made
threats against Flnkelstetn.
Purlng the Hay bloodhound were secured
and an attempt wa mad to hav them
trace th murderer. It 1 claimed they
traced back to the barn of Lev ca' house.
Dellahoyt was released and Levich i held
aa a witness.
Kearro trader Arrest.
The police later arrested a negro named
Walker on ausptcion ot being a man who
murdered Isaac Flnkelsteln. Not much is
known about Walker, but tbs theory is
that he waa either hired by Levich to pun
ish Flnkelsteln or that Levich filled him up
with liquor and coaxed him to do the
deed. The police will not let friends see
either Walker or Levich. They assert that
tnev nave a chain of circumstantial evident)
gainst both of them that la all but perfect
Walker waa Been about the saloons last
night and made statement which leave
trong suspicions against him. The fr'.ends
of Levich employed an attorney to assist
tlin but the detectives spirited Levich away
and he could not be found.
The murder wa committed at a place
where usually ther are a great many per
on passing along the street and it is a
mytry how the crime could have occurred
ther without anyone aeeing It- F nkel
atetn waa quite wealthy, but had' been a
member ef the police force and was greatly
interested In all reform work.
The, beginning of the trouble with regard
to gamming bouse waa when Mayor Bren
ton refused to ' tilae Flnkalatetn na the
police fore. It waa claimed a promise
bad been made . that Flnkelotoln should go
on th force. Th mayor denied tbl. Thn
Flnkelsteln claimed that a deal had ben
made with th. administration by which th
gamblers wer hot to be molested if they
should reopen their houses. Whether this
Is true or not cannot b determined, but It
is certain that five or elx gambling plaoes
were fitted up 'and reopened at great ex
pense. . The police refused to arrest th
gamblers and Flnkelsteln , commenced a
erusad by swearing out warrant and hav
ing tb sheriff's office serve th same. This
resulted ia .closing th gambling houaea.
A th result of this a great deal ef
feeling, haa been engendered, not only among
the gamblers, but amongsths-' officers and
city official. -
( Work for Medical Board..1
Th State Board of Medical Examiners met
in regular session today and had before it
a number of interesting matter. Meters.
Tempi and McGlnnla, attorneys ot Osceola,
appeared before the beard on behalf of Dr.
J. W. Crofford of Decatur county, to plead
mat ne ce given permission to practice med
icine. Last faU Dr. Crofford waa con
vlcted of murder in the second dere,for
causing th death of Miss Maud Stone1 at
hi sanitarium at Lamonl, th death being
th result of an illegal operation attempted
at th anltarium. A short tlm ago Crof
ford decided upon an tfppeat in the case and
obtained from Judg Towner an order for
ball In 116.000. Th! he readily furnished
as he Is quite wealthy. Th Bute Board of
Medical Examiners In tba meantime had re
voked bis certificate to practice medtelun.
H has bow returned to hi horn and it
may be a year befor tb suprem court
finally passe on . his esse, and he desires
to be allowed to practice during that time.
Th board has never encountered auch a
case bfoi and has not yet decided this ens.
The board also has befor It the matter la
connection with th new osteopathic law.
On 1 whether or pot tb oateopatba who
began' practice after th law 'was paised in
April and before it went into effect la July
ar entitled to certificate without examina
tion. Tb other la whether the boardwlll
have the right to Inquire into the qualifica
tions of colleges which have been passed
upon the oateopbatlo association. The
law appear to b ambiguous ia this mat
ter, ,Th attorney general baa been asked
fur an opinion on both these questions. TTie
question afford an opportunity tor much
trouble oetween the doctor aad the osteo
paths and It Is feared a hitch would delay
putting the law Into force.
