Classification: Immigration
Surnames: Kadalcheck, Kodalcheck, Mintello
Freed By Brother’s Death.
An Immigrant Who Was Not Sent Back.
Two immigrant who have been detained on Ellis Island pending the sailing of the ships that brought them here, when they were to be deported, have gained the freedom of these shores, one through the suicide of his brother, who had sought his release, and the other through the force of a written plea which he had sent to the commissioner of immigration, says the New York Hearld. Andras Kadalcheck is an Austraian and reached this country in the steerage of the steamship Ailer. Upon examination it was brought out that he was a violator of the alien contract labor law and an order was issued to deport him. Pending its execution Mihaly Kodalcheck, his brother, hastened here from Siegfried, Pa., and through a lawyer succeeded in obtaining a stay. Mihaly put up at the Landsman hotel over night, and was instructed by his counsel to appear on Ellis Island the next forenoon. Mr. Gottlieb was there on time but his client was not. After a long wait the lawyer called up the hotel by telephone and asked that Mihaly be awakened and sent to the island. the reply came back; “The man is dead.” Mihaly had been suffocated by gas during the night. the hotelkeeper said that the man was under the influence of liquor when he retired. The police do not believe that the gas was turned on accidentally, and think that Mihaly committed suicide. Andras was so much affected by the news of his brother’ death that Commissioner Senner took pity on him, and cutting short the rehearing, allowed the man to land. Giuseppe Mintello is an Italian and arrived here in the steerage of the steamship Victoria recently. The man is fairly well educated, but having no money, it was ordered that he be sent back and instructions were given to place him on board the Bolivia, which it put to sea. In the meantime, Mintello had written his plea and had written it so well that Dr. Senner was moved to rescind his decision. The Bolivia was just casting off her lines when a telephone message from Ellis Island was received and Guiseppe was put ashore. – New York Herald
