The cross marks the spot where Louis Young fell after having been
mortally wounded. Arrow shows through which window both alleged
burglars entered, and, when surrounded by detectives, took the path
shown by the dotted line. The dot on the cut of steps is the spot from where
Abe R. Sampson, 1804 North Sixteenth street, fired thrice at the two boys,
an instant before Young fell. Detective Dolan was several feet to the
north of him. From the garage door the boys opened .fire in the direc
tion of Sampson and Dolan, according to the testimony brought out at
the inquest. As they emerged from the building, Sampson and Detective
Patach opened fire upon them, and Young fell. His partner darted to the
alley, as shown by a second dotted line, and escaped.
Testimony at the inquest held yes
terday morning over the death of
Louis Young, alleged boy burglar,
who was shot and killed in a pistol
fight early Thursday morning, show
ed utter confliction of detectives'
stories of the day before.
5 Abe R. Sampson, 1804 North Six
teenth street, who fired three shots
at the two boys from a spot behind
the cement steps next door, testified
that Young fell an instant later.
Sampson was attracted to the scene
of the burglary by a shot fired in
the air by Joe Janous, proprietor
of the barber shop, 1826 North Six
teenth street. '
i .Jury, Justifies Shooting.
The fury at the inquest declared
the following: "That Louis Young
came to his death on the 20th of
March, 1919, in the city of Omaha,
Douglas county, Nebraska; that
death was caused from a gunshot
wound received while escaping from
police officers of the city ot Oma
ha, after said Louis Young, tor
gether with a companion, had brok
en into and entered a barber shop
at 1826 North Sixteenth street; that
tne snooting was jusunauie aitcr
their 1 escape from barglarizing the
place."- :
The name of Abe R. Sampson,
civilian, was not previously men
tioned in the case.
Detective Patach, who was sta
tioned at the northwest corner of
the building, testified that he shot
twice at both boys before Young
fell. In answer, to a direct question
from Deputy County-- Attorney
Ready: "Do you think "you shot
Young?" Patach answered: "If I
did, the bullet would have entered
the boy's right side, instead of the
left." ' '
Detective Dolan's Story.
Abe Sampson and Detective Do
lan were the only persons on the
south side of the building during
the shooting. At the inquest De
tective Dolan testified that he fired
no shots. The day before, he de
clined to state who was on the
south side of the barber shop. Po
liceman Janda who was on the
north side tired three times alter
Youne was shot, at the unidentified
partner who escaped over an alley
fence, he, testuied.
When shown the bullet taken
from Young's body, Abe Sampson
said: "I use a similar bullet in my
gun, but don't know whether I shot
the boy or not." Sampson was at
the scene of the shooting before the
Seek Popular Vote
Upon League Jin
State of Missouri
Jefferson City, Mo, March 21.
Fifty democratic members of the
Missouri legislature 3 today offered
to" resign if Senator' James A. Reed,
democrat, from Missouri, would re
sign from the United States sen
ate. The legislators then propose
to run for re-election, as they sug
gest Reed should do, to force a
popular, vote in " Missouri on the
league of' nations. '
. The house of representatives re
cently passed resolutions demand
ing that Senator Reed resign be
cause, of his opposition to President
Wilson's program. The challenge
of the leizislators today came after
a series of conferences in which
they decided to throw down the
gauntlet to the senator and at the
same time attempt to show that the
people of Missouri endorse the
president's plan jfor a league pf na
tions. . '.
As an alternative it was suggested
that the democratic state committee
call a convention -of representative
democrats from every county in the
state to give endorsement to the
president and his aims; to denounce
Senator Reed, and to bring about
a reorganization of the party in the
state if conditions are found ' to
justify it. . '
The result of the conference was
annonncea oy Representative nan
Jcellor of Baton county, who said
detectives and was not deputized to
act in the fray. Police Chauffeur
Vance testified that he heard sev
eral shots fired on the south side of
the building, but was not aware that
anyone had been killed until the
shooting was over. v
Dr. McCleneghan, first witness on
the stand, declared that Young met
his death from a broken neck caused
by a steel jacket bullet, breaking the
upper vertebrae and lodging in the
base of the brain.
Fired at Both Boys.
Detective Patach, who the day
before stated that he fired three
times at the boy going over the
fence, testified at the inquest that
his shots were directed at both boys
as he caught sight of them passing
the , corner of the building. The
only two who fired directly at both
boys before Young fell mortally
wounded were Sampson and Patach.
Both men had steel jacket bullets in
their guns.
A vague report from the detec
tives to the chief of police gives no
details of the shooting, only that "we
surrounded the place and were met
by a volley of shots from the build
ing; then we opened fire upon them
and the boy fell, instantly killed."
No mention of Abe Sampson's name
was cited in the report to the chief
Assistant Chief of Police Michael
Dempsey was present at the inquest.
Further investigation of the two
guns found on Young's person show
that if the detective were fired upon
first, the unidentified companion of
Young did the shooting. John
Yaverick, proprietor of a store . at
Sixteenth and Locust streets, from
which place the guns were taken
said the kind of powder used in the
cartridges- would have left a dis
tinguishing mark in the barrel of
the breech. When asked what in
structions were given the detectives
and police' in regard to shooting.
Chief of Police Eberstein told a Bee
reporter:
Told to Fire First.
"I have instructed the police to
fire first Shots at the crook, but this
isiot for publication." Parents of
the dead boy are prostrated with
grief, and owe the tragedy to the
boy's evil associates. The family and
neighbors show indignation at the
manner in which the fray was con
ducted, inferring that other methods
ought to be adopted by the police
in capturing criminals instead of
"blasting undirected shots in harum
scarem fashion after they had the
place surrounded," as one man
stated.
The mother and father of the dead
boy were not present at the inquest.
.that the other representatives who
voted for the resolutions had in
formed him they stood ready to re
sign if Senator Reed would do so
and submit the issue to the voters
of their respective districts.
Paderewski Thanks
Hoover for Food Sent '
to Poland from U. S.
Paris, March 21. Premier Pade

Hopver, director general of allied re
lief, a message of thanks for the food
sent Poland which Mr. Hoover had
informed him was "the gift of the
American people."
"Your beautiful message touches
me profoundly," said Mr. Paderew
ski. "I certainly remember all your
noble efforts of four years ago to
assist my country and I shall never
forget your generous endeavors,
which, alas, were frustrated by the
merciless attitude of our common
foe.
"It is a privilege for any man to
co-operate in your great work and I
highly appreciate the honor of hav
ing my name associated in a modest
way with yours in the present relief
in Poland.
"The activity of Colonel Grove
and his staff is beyond praise. Food
of higher quality is arriving daily
and thousands, after four and one
half years of terrible suffering, are
realizing at last what wholesome and
nutritious bread is. In behalf of the
government I beg to offer you my
most sincere thanks."
WITNESS SAYS
WOUNDED MAN
GIVENJBUSE
Young - Soldier From Camp
Dodge Shot Down in Cold
Blood On Omaha Street,
" Asserts Bausman.
After sending a bullet crashing
through the body of Private Charles
Coleman of Camp Dodge, Iowa,
Wednesday ' night at, Twentieth
street and Capitol avenue, probably
mortally wounding the soldier, De
tective G, knudtsot. for1 10 minutes
stood over ;the prpstrate form of his
victim and swore at him until the
police ambulance arrived to convey
him to the Lord Lister hospital, is
the statement of Ed F. Bausman,
auditor for the London Guarantee
Accident company, 715 Brandeis
building. :
Mr. Bausman was a witness to the
shooting. He viewed it from his
rooms in the Flo-Les apartments,
201 North Twentieth street, and
was on (he ground a few minutes
later.
Coleman's young bride, whom he
married Tuesday, arrived before her
wounded husband was lifted into
the ambulance. She was frartic
with grief, and when she attempted
to climb into the ambulance after the
policemen lifted her husband in she
was handled roughly and rudely
pushed back, declared Mr. Bausman.
Wife Views Scene.
The grief-stricken wife "stood by
wringing her hands and sobbing
while the detective, who shot Cole
man, stood over the soldier writhing
in agony, and abused and cursed
him, Bausman said.
, The patient still is in a critical
condition, it was annonunced yester
day afternoon by the attending phy
sician. . Statement to Camp.)
Mr. Bausman mailed his state
ment of the affair to the command
ing officer at Camp Dodge, he de
clared. "The shooting was the most
cowardly thing I ever saw in my
life," he continued. "It was dis
graceful. The boy simply was shot
down in cold blood without the
slightest provocation. He was not
attempting to escape. He was not
resisting an officer. If there was
an argument between the detective
and soldier, it is my opinion, from
what I saw and heard, that the de
tective was the aggressor.
"My theory of the shooting is
that Coleman was provoked. He
was feeling sore because the detec
tives had roughed him. He proba
bly handed Kundtson a piece of his
mind, and the detective lost his
temper. I believe the boy was shot
because he said something to the
officer which displeased him.
Clear View of Neighborhood.
"I live in the Flo-Les apartments,
which are located on the northeast
corner of Capitol avenue and Twen
tieth street. My apartment is on
the third floor and 'windows face
both streets. Being located on the
top of the hill, we have a clear view
of the neighborhood.
"I was seated at the dinner table
at 6:30 o'clock when I heard a shot
The noise came from the direction
of Capitol avenue and Nineteenth
street. I ran to the dining room
window, which faces Capitol avenue.
"I saw Defective Knudtson, ac
companied by a soldier in uniform,
walking easily up the hill on the
opposite side of the street. They
were going west in Capitol avenue
towards Twentieth streit. They did
not appear to be in a hurry. Thev
were walking abreast of each other.
As the detective did not have hold
of the soldier, and no force was
being used, my first thought was
that an automobile tire had ex
ploded. Crowd Begins to Gather.
"However, as a small crowd be
gan to gather at the corner, 1 con
tinued to watch the two men.
"Upon reaching the corner at
Twentieth street, the officer sud
denly took hold of the soldier and
began treating him roughly, push
ing him south along the east side
of Twentieth street. The soldier
appeared, to resent this treatment.
He was trying to release the hold
of the officer. -
"At this point I rushed througr,
our apartment to the balcony. The
balcony projects over the sidewalk
at Twentieth street, and affords: a
clear view of the sidewalk.
Struggles With Officer.
"The soldier continued to strug
gle with the officer, and the two
pursued an irregular course for
about 50 feet. The- soldier finally
succeeded in breaking the officer's
hold. The detective then drew , his
revolver and, holding it threatening
ly in his right hand, attempted to re
gain his hold on the soldier, who
successfully avoided him for several
minutes.
The soldier did not attempt to
run away, but he seemed to object
to being roughly handled by the of
ficer. , '
"Finally the detective made . a
lunge at him. The soldier jumped
about six feet away and stood a lit
tle sideways, but facing the de
tective. Took Deliberate Aim.
"The detective took deliberate aim
at the body of the soldier ahd fired
his revolver.
"The wounded man fell to the side
walk crying, "Oh! Oh! you have shot
me in the stomach!'
"I immediately ran down stairs
and over to the scene. There I found
the officer standing over the wound
ed man saying repeatedly to him
with the emphasis of oaths 'I tried
to treat you right-' This was kept
up until another detective arrived
and said he had called the wagon.
Detective Knudtson appeared to be
very nervous and excited. In fact he
was so excited that I was afraid to
go near him.
Rudely Brushed Aside.
"The patrol wagon arrived in
about 10 minutes, and while they
were loading the wounded man into
it. the soldier's wife was standing by.
She tried to get into the wagon, but
was rudely Crushed aside by an of
ficer. The wagon left the scene."
Coleman was arrested Sunday, it
was said, by the police on complaint
of another soldier, who is alleged to
have had some difficulty with Cole
man over a girl. The soldier report
ed that Coleman was a deserter. The
police later were convinced Coleman
was not a deserter, and the prisoner,

was paroled to Mr. Flinn. Coleman
was to have returned to Camp
Dodge Tuesday, and intended to do
so. He went to a neighboring town
in an automobile to be married, and
on his way back to Omaha, where he
expected to catch the train Tuesday
afternoon, the automobile in which
he was riding with' his bride broke
down. He missed the train, relatives
declared, and was going to catch the
next train to Des Moines.
PolicV Start Search.
In the meantime word was re
ceived here that Coleman overstayed
the time limit for his visit. In
structions were, sent to Sergeant
White of Omaha, to assume custody
of the delinquent soldief and take
him back to .camp. In some way
the police learned that Coleman still
was in Omaha and Detectives
Knudtson and Jensen instituted a
search for him. . ,
Knudtson's Story.
"I did not shoot Coleman until
he struck me twice," said Detective
Knudtson. "He struck me once on
the side of the head. I was dazed.
I staggered and almost fell to the
ground. He then struck nf a ter
rific blow on the neck and I fell to
the ground. I did not know what
injury I would suffer at the man's
hands. As I struggled to my feet
I drew my revolver and fired in self
defense when the infuriated soldier
made another lunge at me."
Police Chief Eberstein declared
he was investigating the scooting.
While he would not state positively
his opinion of the affair, the chief in
dicated that from his knowledge of
the facts gained so far that he was
inclined to the belief the detective
was justified in shooting to kill the
soldier.
"Coleman was arrested Sunday
and relased later upon the promise
that he would return to Camp
Dodge on the first train," said Chief
Eberstein. "He was shown every
consideration. The shooting was
the result of Coleman's attempt to
get away. !
"I know Knudtson is a good offi
cer and he has a good record. I
know Detective Knudtson to be a
careful man."
Chief Eberstein declared he had
not talked to Detective Knudtson
since the shooting. He did not give
the names of anyone to whom he
had talked regarding the affair.

UNIT K NURSES
BACK HOME FROM
OVERSEAS WORK
Five Young Women Given
Warm Welcome When They
Return After Many
Months in France.
j..
An informal, but earnest welcome
was given the five Unit K nurses
when they arrived in Council Bluffs
yesterday morning. About 250 peo
ple were at the depot and the nurses
realized that they were really home
again and with friends. The reason
that the whole number did not come
was that some dropped off the train
at points all the way across Iowa,
where nearest relatives were waiting
to welcome them. Some were de
tained in New York.
The young women who returned
are: Emily Vaughinaux, Ella Mc
Manigal, Sena Nelson, Agnes Rich
ardson and Aline3fathiason..
There were no formalities at the
station. After greeting the many ac
quaintances . the . young women enl
tered waiting automobiles, escorted
by their relatives, and were whirled
to the homes.
Pearl Gary left the train when
nearest to her home at Denison,
Elizabeth Green, Peru, Neb., took a
Burlington train via Plattsmouth,
and Christine Salter went directly
to her home at Boone. The others
have been detained and will return
probably singly.
The Unit K girls left Council
Bluffs Christmas morning, 1917, and
what they have done, seen and en
dured since would make thrilling
history filling volumes. They are
reluctant to talk about their experi
ences, but their tongues loosen up
and their eyes shine when called on
to answer queries about Dr. Macrae
and Col. Matt Tin'cy.
"Brothers and fathers couldn't
have don? more for us than they did.
Some of us would not have been
here if it had not been for Dr.
Macrae," said one.
