Ia Edqulrt, Swedish vice consul, pre ldrl st the meeting anil first cnlVd for few remarks from Acting Clilof cf Po lice Mlrhsel Dempsey. "This la one of the worst c-aaea with vhlf-h I have had to deal In my thirty 1 years' connection with the force." aid ; lVmpwr "Not only the details of ths crime, but the fsct that the hits of evt drncs w hars eo far been able to get seem to have led to nothing. What we want and need Is for you roMe help us by giving any bit of Information you nay possibly bare gleaned from yj ac qualnlanres, or may get, and 1 piomlae ou that all of the men will work night and day with the hops of Jatlliu" the murderer." Mttwr a Alert. County Attorney Maguey spoke slong ths same Una, asserting that his office would do Its utmost to assist the pollcs In every way and czpresaed hla convic tion that ths force was working dlVgontly and hard. "No one will go farther or do more than Michael Dempeey In this affair, and as for myself nothing, aim1 I have been county attorney, would give me greater gratification than to be posseasvd if the evidence to convict the guilty peixn. It Is exceedingly difficult for those who hunt down criminals In a case like this to get a start, and as their labor is for th0 public benefit the people should help In every way possible. Caantr Offers Reward. County Commissioner crank Best said the county hss derided to offer a reward of 1 30S for the arrest and conviction of the murderer. Commissioner Best com plimented the police and urged the sup port of the publio to their el forts. "As a rltlsen and a taxpayer I resent any Implication made. against the police In their work oa this case." forcefully announced W. W. Merrltt, who owrs the property adjoining that on which the Bwanaon gtrl was killed. "I didn't know the police officials until a week ago, and since then I have been closely In touch with them on this affair. I wlah to testify to their nf flclehey and gentlemanly conduct, and am with them In any way possible to Unravel this mystery." Ministers of the various Swedish churches spoke In similar vein, com plimentary to the department, and asking the Swedish people to aid its member. Congressman Lobeck and many of those In the crowd expressed their-wish to help financially and other w!m4 An expression of condolence was drafted to be prenented the family and a committee of ten selected, with Consul Xdquist as ex-officlo member, to secure a fund to be used by ths committee as they see proper. Any balance will be returned the donors. Police Seek Urn Reward. At this juncture Csptaln Dempsey asked for a word and when given the privilege aatd; "I speak for the police department. We want no reward for our work and hope that any money that may be offered will be given those who tllvulxe the information that-will lead to the capture of the criminal." IHtmp bey's remark wss greeted with tre mendous applause. The committee chosen to collect the money comprises Klvln T. Johnson. Arthur Palmer,' John Irson, treasurer; Nets A. Lundgren, N. Q. Peteraon. Jolm T. Bloom. Albert Peterson. T. O. North wall. N. T. Thorson and Paul Wecnur. Wr. Lareon announces that previous to the appointment of the committee he had aecured pledges to the sum of fill It was also approved by the meeting that a telegram be sent Governor Morehead asking that a reward be offered. The affair was simply a meeting of determined cltlsens enklcue to go ths limit In every respect that the perpe trator of the brutal murder might suffer the deaeerts coming Mm. Far from being an "Indignation" meeting to pro test against the efforts of the police, it was more a demonstration that the people were with the foroe in their work. Conaul Edqulst made this point plain in hla brief addreaa, commending 'the action of the police. Beaidee Acting Chief Dempeey, Cap tain Henry Ileltfeldt, Semeant Bamuel eorf and several repreeentatlvea of the detective department were present and were highly gratified at the attitude expressed.
