a THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, MAY 81, 1919. IS NO INQUEST OVER FOUR CHILDREN DROWNED IN LAKE County Attorney Shotwell Expresses Opinion Evidence Does Not Warrant Official Probe of Tragedy. It it unlikely that there will be an inquest into the death of the four St. Agnei parish pupils drowned in Riverview park Thursday afternoon when attending a picnic held by pu pils of St. Agnes convent fhusic class. "I hare been unable to place any criminal responsibility for the trag edy," A. V. Shotwell, county attor ney, said yesterday morning. "There may have been some negligence, and there doubtless was, but there has not yet been presented to me facts that would warrant an official probe into circumstances leading up to the tragedy. However, Paul Steinwen der is looking into the matter now, and until I get his last report I shall not definitely decided what to do." The four who lost their lives were Josephine Fritz, 13, 2512 Q street; Theresa Duffy, 14, 4622 SouthTwen- v-liir4 afreet Anna Grahnirh Krissman, 14, 5428 South Twenty third street, and Edward Schneider, 10, 2717 South Twenty-third street. There were 12 rescued. The acci dent occurred in 10 feet of water, the center and deepest part of the small lake at Riverview park. Gloom Over St. Agnes. A pall of gloom descended on St. Agnes parish Thursday night when word of the quadruple tragedy came to South Side. Mothers of children at the picnic in Riverview were fran- tic until assured their offspring were safe. Yesterday morning this gloom was not dispelled. It dampened the ardor for the holiday and many who had planned coming into Omaha to witnest the parades remained at home. ' Mrs. Duffy, mother of Josephine, one of those drowned, became hys terical at Riverview park, where she had hurried immediately after re ceiving word her daughter had lost her life. Little Joe Schneider en deavored to jump into the lake when his brother's body was brought ashore. Strong hands held him back and he was finally put into an auto mobile and taken home by friends of the family. It is likely that burial of the four will be made Monday when a public luneral will be held. Socialists Suspend 25,000 Extremists; Gill Chicago Meet Chicago, May 30.
