FOR POSITION
OF PROSEGIITOR
A petition is being circulated among
the lawyers of the city for the
appointment of John J. Cuneo to the
office of presecuting attorney for
.80uth licrwaik. This appointment
will be made sometime during the
month of June. by Judge George H
Vosburgh. of the downtown cit:
court.
Mr. Cuneo is one of the most popu-
lar lawyers in the city and has been
praticising law here for the past 27
years. He is a gradual? of the Yale
Law School. During the time since he
.was admitted to the bar. he. has wor-
‘ked up a. large practice. He is well
fitted for the office which
are endeavorlng to obtain for him.
When approached on the subject
this morning by a Sentinel reporter
Mr. (‘ucno stated ”That he was in the
hands of his friends.” This was taken
to mean that if appointed to the posi-
tion he would accept it.
The office has been held during tho
past six years by Cramer (‘. Hege-
man. It is thought that Mr. llcgeman
will again be a candidate for the ap-
pointment to the position and the fact
that another candidate has been
placed in the field will credit some
keen rivalnry for the appointment.
The fact that there has hctn an in—
crease in salary granted to the holder
of this office has also brought other
candidates into the field. Sentiment is
being sounded among all the lawyers
regarding to. appointment.

A deal which is of considerable in-
terest to the colored population of the
city was closed yesterday, when the
Rev. Henry R. Coupe? purchased a
:huilding site on Franklin street in the
Sccond District. _
The Rev. Cooper caused quite a
‘good deal of excitement among the
.colored people. when he was pastor
for the Grace Baptist church of this
lcity. When asked by the deacons of
Ithe church to resign he refused and
lsfated that he wouiud continue to
‘preach from the pulpit of the church.
It was necessary to call in. police
protection to preea-va order at the
time. \ \
It is believd that the‘ purchase of
the property on Franklh street yu-
terday will mean that the- ‘city will
have another colored church. as the

church was split at the this of the

KALAMAZOO, Mich. April 13.-
Four built-ts from a revolver brought
tragedy to the priest house of St. .

Rev. Father Charles Dillon. assistant
pastor and member of the Carthusian
Fathers Urdcr. shot and killed his
superior. Rev. Father Henry O'Neill.
pastor of the parish who had ordcre
him from the house. 3+
The killing of Father O'Neill cul-
minated what ltcv. Dillon told police
was "13 months of ill treatment."
during which. he said Father O‘Neill
"treated me like a little boy. and as-
sumed toward me an attitude of a

REQUESTED
School officials of the city of
“‘aterbury have been asked to ap-
pear before the special legislative
committee investigating alleged pad-
ding of the school enumeration list
of that city. it was announced yester-
day afternoon. The shoot officials
will appear Tuesday-.at‘tcrnoon at 2
; o'clock at a meeting to ebe held inl
;ihc speaker‘s room at the State Cap-
itol.
This announcement followed a
O'Ncil'. his assistant. and Father
McCullough were at the tall,
said. Father O'Xvill ordered ‘Dillon to
go upstttirs and “pack his grip.” lu-
sirml. Fathvr llillon went to his room,
obtutnrd a. rmolver and returned to
the dinning room.
"I intended togivc him a chance
to confess and repent before I killed
him."- police report Either Dillon as
saying. "but as 1 advanced into the
room with the revolver extended. I
saw him grab a salt cellar to throw
at me. and I fired twice.”
As the priest's body slipped to'tho
floor l-‘athcr Dillon. according to his
story gave Father McCullough a phial
containing holy oils and told him to
administer the scramcnt of extreme
unction at once.
Father O'Neill. who was about 50
years old. succeeded to the St. Augus-
tine pastorate in November. 1921,
following the death of Rev. Mgr. F. A.
Brien. Dillion. following his expulsion
as a member of the Carthusian Order
from Franco. travelled in many coun-
coming here
from Battle Creek, 13 months ago.
Rev. Father \Villinm Murphy. of
Detroit. is in temporary charge of the
parish affairs. Father McCullough is
recovering today from his collapse
following the tragedy.
"I knelt before God and prayed
that something would happen to that
man." Fathei Dillon was quoted as
saying in a stat, cnt made to pro-
secutor Stephen H. \Vattles. He was
questioned in the. presence of a sten-
ographcr. The statement at times was
disconnected and contained numerous
repetitions.
“I had no right to kill .Father
O'Neill; not one light in the world."
th statement said.
“I took that in my own hands and
I killed him. I want to go to Jackson
(the state prison). I'd rather have the
chair. '
“I never did any harm in my life;
never took a cent from anybody. The
gentle little children all over Michi-
me Wm tell you they love me."
Asked how long he had possessed
the_revolvcr. Father Dillon said: “lot
very long."
“Did you purchase it for the pur-
pose" asked the prosecutor.
"Yes. for the purpoee" replied the
' priest, "conditionally for the purpose.
Not absolutely to any it was going to
happen: I hoped it would not."
Asked who was at the dinner table
at the time of the shooting. Father
Dillon replied that Father McCullough
was present. but countered:
"What do you want of witnesses.
I'll tell the truth. We were eating.
He told me to get out. The last thing
he said was:
“Pack up and go. I said all right 1
will go. I did go and pack'up and he
didn't like the packing In my hand. I
pulled the gun and 'biug. bing' he
got it right here. He said: ‘Im shot
father; I'm shot'. Right in the midst
of that he seized the salt cellar to
throw at me: blag. blag; he dropped
a inst the window."
ther Dillon. accruing to the
prosecutor. admitted he had beep
drinking during the day.

The alleged padding consisted of
a. great number of duplications and
a large number of imaginary names
on the lists of school children en‘
rolled. This padding was definitely
checked. according to the committee.
as the enumeration list showed the
school attended. the name of the child
parents names and home nddressa.
In numerous instances no basis was
found for any of the data recorded
in the lists. .
It is believed that the city of
Vi'aterbury‘has been overpaid by the
state to the extent of thousands of
dollars as the result of this alleged
padding of the enumeration lists as
the state pays the town or city at the
rate of $2.25 for each pupil whose
name appears on the lists.
