A Statement from the

REPUBLICAN CANDIDA TE FOi? <;Of"fi RJ\'ON

W \NTED: C I\'IL S ER\-lCE

By C. W' ayla11d Brooks

T o the J:dilor. POLICE "13-13' ';

I appreciate very much the opportunity of presenting to your readers my position on Civil Service in the State administration. 1 am going to quote the paragraph from my speech which I <lelivered at the Republican State Con' 'ention in Peoria on ~lay 22nd in connection with Civil Service. It is as follows :

\Ve must return to strict adhereni:e of the laws and principles o f Civil Service. Partirnlarly is this true in the care of the unfortu-11ate wards of our State. The mismanagement of many of our State institutions and thl' gross violation of CiYil Service laws by the present admin istration during the last three years is an al>solnte disgrace. Again their own record denies thei r claims of hrJne:,t and efficient performance of duty.

I also wish to take the opportunity of quoting the tand of the Republican Party in connection with Ci\'il Service as adopted by the State Convention. The Platform C'arries the following paragraph;

The Democratic Party solemnly promised in its 1932 State platform that the merit sys-1cm would he extended a11<l the spirit of the civil service law honestly and rigidly enforce<!. No la\\S have been so l>ra7.enly disregarded and shame fully abused as the civil service laws under the ac1minis1ration oi Governor Horner. Employees ha \'C heen promoted, su~pcndcd, reinstated :rnd discharged witho11t regard to merit. The Republic-an Par9'' pledges absolute adhcr<.'ncc to and the strcnKth <ming, imprMing and enforcing of the civil service law and nwrit ~ystcm .

exorcW5e the c\lil by in turn asking for 'I.di• police intervention. To their consternation. th1•1 got this slalemenl from the sheriff, " I ha'" 11,

power, and the Illinois State Highwa} p0 1i11'.

have no jurisdiction! It is a sad stale of afTair· when citizens are practically forced to takr th, law into their own hands to fight orguniwd nime s uch as this callle and poultry ru'-Lli11 1,.

Don't ask me if you have power to shoot a 111,~ 1 caught stealing your livestock ... ~hoot JHd

then ask me!" uch a situation is at present possible an1•

where in Illinois. Civil scrv it·e stale pol icem~n could summarily handle such cases. and po•· sibl y avert an even greater social rvil. Th~ peril to socia l order and security that may ari~ from the encouragement of desperate vigilante·' in a community is second on ly to the peril from organized crime. Proof of this lies in the hlood. stained and unsavory records of the Ku l\lm: Klan, and more recently, the Detroit ·'Bl:uk Legion." The spirit of summary and exlra·le~al protective action Ceeds upon itself and can ~oon grow to curse a community. If I.he !'late had bean equipped to throw a handful or offil'm \vjth "G·man" training into Will County, the bold bandits who terrorized the farms '~ould soon have been put out of business!

A survey made by Earl H. DeLoog and Frtd E. Inbau, instructor of political science and in· slructor of police science, respectively, of North· western Universit y, of the state police S) sl ern~ in the count ry brings lo light some admirable precedents. The New York Division of . tale Police has a regular line personnel of 570 of· fice rs and troopers. 88 ofEcers and troopers on special park details, and 26 civilian empl oH't'~. The an nual appropriation for the } ear t>nding in June, 1934, was $2,200,221, which cowrd maintenance and operation, salarie.. Lmt>l, equipment and communication. Penn!>' h aniJ. wi th a slate force si milar in organization and consisting of 423 officers and men, appropriatrd 82,255,031 for the same year . Michigan. with approximately the area of Illinois and almo·I the same number of miles of roads, maintain• a i)ersonnel of 257 officers, men, operators. c·h•rb . stenographers, identification employet'' aml others. For the year ] 934. the total app rupriJ· lion in Michigan was only S605,366.25 . . which included personnel services. a hurr.111 111 identification, a laboratory fo r the :-ei1' 11lili1

Cases from a Detective's Notes By ED\'<' ARD DIECKMANN Member of the Homicide Squ~d. P olice Department, San Diego, Cal.

T HI-: case of Thoma~ M. Jones, alias Tull" McQuate. clearly demonstrates how easy it

j .., for a cunuing individua l to remain h idden among the population of a large city. This <:ann) man krpl lo himself fo llowing the bruta l Jnurder uf the o ld woman who had befriended l1 im. He neither wrote no r recchPd any let· t en·. He made no friends and. if he had not run "'hort of money. it is po "ible that he w ould have remained hidden for a long time to come.

T he ca~ a lso demonstrates the \·alue of the 1nuch touted tremendous triffes in murder cast>'>. ltem~ whjch appeared to be utterly insignifi cant al the time the investigation was begun, late r res ulted in a con"iction of murder in the first d egree and demonstra ted guilt so clearl) that M cQuatc was sentenced lo hang in spite of the fact that the killer had hurriedl y entered a guilty plea.

At 9 a. m. on Sunday, October LS, J 93::i, a ~peed-bual from the U. S. S. Tre111011 , one o f ahe war ' essels anchored in San Diego Bay. was h urry ing lo the na' al landing when the cox· swain noticed a canvas-wrapped bundle floating ~n the surface of the water. Skilrull y he steered his boa t alongside the obj ect and the other members of the crew lifted the dripping object on board. One of the men cut a slit in the oute r \Happing! and leaped back when he saw a half-cl osed human eye staring out of a bru1St'd h ead.

With othe r members of the homjc ide squad. 1 was callecl from home and reported to the mortuary, where the coroner had ordered the h undl e taken . Docto r Ell iott G. Colby a nd I unwrapped thc- 1>arcel.

T he opening thus made had been p ieced togethe r with a b it of o ld, paint-s pattered auto top material that had been stitched to the canva:. bag with long stitches. The bag was also ser-ured with heavy twine. The twine was cul, Je;wing the knots i ntact, and when the last wrap· pings had been removed lhere la y before us the di i:.mem bered body of an elderl y woman.

The legs had been amputated at the hips and ' ' ere missing. The a rms we re tightly lashed to the to rso with eighteen-thread manila line. The onl y clothing on the body was a white un· den est and a pink and white wool night-gown. \ round the neck was a necklace with peculiar

her , e' idently caused by a blunt instrument. The ::.kull was not fractured.

T h e doctor straig htened up. " These blows did not cause death." he de

r lai·cd . "She bled to death when the body was dismem bered."

" H o" long has he been dead ?" a detertirn ask('d.

·· ~ot more than fort y-e ight hours:· The homicide squad handles all missing pern reports in our department, but neither m}

; rtner. Detective Sergeant Fred E. Lightner, nor I had any recollection of an y o ld lady havi n~ ~n reported missing.

·'She must be identified." LiJ?hlner said . •·Check e\ erything carefully:'

T he parcel contain ing the head, to rso, and arms of M,.,. Straw, the murder victim. as ir appea red when

foun d Boating in San Diego Bay.

We did, but the only mark of any kind that "e discovered was a name stenciled on the seabag, "A. B. Rust."• The clothing bore no laun· dry marks of any sort.

While an officer hurried a\\ ay to check on the name. Lightner and I carefu lly noted down the color of the clothing and exami ned the od d necklace.

A thorough description of the woman was taken. This, together with a detailed descrip· tion of the black necklace, was broadcast over the two local radio stations, KFSD and KGB. It "as also sent out over the police teletype sys· tem throughout the state.

WHILE this \\SS in progress the other por · lions of the body were fou nd by another

\a, y boat's crew. This time it was a burlap bag that contained the lower limbs of the woman, cut into pieces, ~vered at the knees. This bag was also tightly lashed with manila line. The mouth of the hag \\ as tied with a very tightl y woven, greenish·colored piece of twin e. Each section of the severed limbs was wrapped in local newspapers. dated ten days previously. In the bag was also found a piece of bed-sheeting. ~n·ral wash-cloths, and a little gi rl 's dress.

Again, no laundry marks were found. Howe" r, the sheet bad been repaired by hand and "• apparently from a narr ow bed .

By this time the local papers had extras on the streets. This, of course, brought people-

some ~i ncere in their efforu to aMiM afln others morbidly curiou&-to the mortuary. All were permitted to view the body, but none <.'Ould identify it.

Forty·fi\'e minutes following th<' radi o broadC'ast of thf' de!!(:ription of the woman and the necklace, she " as identified as Mrs. Laura traw of 120 1 18th Street. San Diego.

The minute descri ption of the odd nC'cklace had don r thf' trick, the identifying "·itn~" said.

MRS. STR \ \'"S home consi"t('d of thrre room", a kitchen and bath . ThE>re were

toward the h ead of the bed. Thi" latter mattress was soaked through with blood.

Blood was spattered upon the wall ~ to the north nnd east of the bed. In some places it was fi \'e feet, nine in ches from the floor . An attempt bad been made to wash away the blood' from tbe bed frame and the mattres , but this. had only caused it to spread.

l:pon a bedside stand was found a c lutter o f art ides, among which was a cup containing an upper and lower set of false teeth. This stand consisted of three shelves. and articles wereIound upon each shelf, situated in such a fashion thaL would har dly allow room fo r a fairl y large art icle to be placed upon anr of the sheh es. The location of a ll these articles was cnrefull r noted and this proved to be of the utmost importance later on.

The floors o( the three front rooms ' 'ere of cement, another fact that was to be remembered .

In the kitchen the rema ins o( a meal were fou nd upon the table. On a line. strung in one corner, was found a man's shirt and a pillowslip. Both of these articles had been washed ..

as the collar-band of the shirt a nd the seams <>f the slip were quite damp.

The bathToom was filth y, with the single ex· ception of the bath tub. The cleanliness of this tub stood out in startling contrast with the re· n 1ainder Qf the furn iture of the room- so much so that I wiped the surface with a clean. white handkerchief and d iscovered that I could fin d :no dust. (The following day I again made the ~xperiment and discovered that a s li~ht coating <Jf dust had accumulated during the short time.)

W E LEA RNEU from neighbors that Mrs. Stra"' was a widow of seventy-three years.

S he wai< reputed to be \'ery wealthy and had tbe reputation of alv. a ys keeping a considerable sum Q{ mone> in her home. She was th e owner of l:'evera l houses in the city, three of which were on the same lot where her own dwcllinp; place was located . She had a roome r, known ooh l o the neighbors as " Tommy." who did odd job. around the woma n's property. He was many years the junior of Mrs. Straw and had been Jiving in her home for a bout eighteen months, ,,;th the exception of about six weeks during the previous summer. He made no friends and only nodded to the neighbors. No one had ever heard h is last name. This man had been seen about the house during the a ft ernoon of Oc.1ober ] 4th. He was watering the flowers. One- neighbor lady said that she saw and sp oke to Mrs. Stra '' on the afternoon of October 13th. and that she al so saw her at a distance. with "Tommy." on the evening of October 14th. When asked how she recognized the elderly woman a half block away, the l ady said that Mrs. S traw had a peculiar manner of swinging her left arm ' vhen i;he walked and that the woman she saw wore a little bonnet exactl y s imilar Lo the one u sually worn by Mrs. S traw.

We learned that " Tommy" did not own a car but that he had been seen in differe nt cars with a strange man on a number o f occasions during t he past week.

We we re unable to put a last name to " Tomm y." but ·we did get an excellent description of h im. This was sent out via te le tr pe and police radio within an hou r of the location of the murder house.

Our fingerprint man found a number of latent prints in the k itchen of the house. Some of these were e liminated when compa red with those of the dead woman, but others, excelle nt s pecime ns too, were evidentlr those of the mys· terious .. T ommy."'

It is well known that , so far as fi ngerprints are concerned, the diHerence bet\\ een ~eneral c rimes and murder cases is tbnt in the former the fi ngerprints inay be fi lled to the criminal; in the latter, of course, the crin1inal must be fitted to the print$. I n other words, the p rints found on a murder scene are usuaJly only of u se towards the t'nd of the hunt when a suspe<1

has been found and the offi~ers can obtain his prints to compare them with those found , and so add lo the chain of evidence.

Bul "Tomm~ •· st ill remained unidentified. The front l'oom of the house had been used

as a bed- room. Jn this room we found a box containing a numher of old letters addressed lo Thomas M. Jones. c/ o Genera l Delivery, San D ie.go, Cali fornia. All o f these bore old postmark~. the latest bein~ 1932. An old bank.

T HE!\ a nother name was fou nd, thal of a young man with whom we were very familiar.

This lad had confessed to a terrible sex murder in August. 1933. Invest igation disclosed that it was impossible for him to have committed the crime, a fter which he confessed that be"d made the spurious statement merel y to gain notoriety whereb) he could sell his life's history to a magazine. He was charged witb ob· slructing j ustice, tried a nd convicted, and at the time of the Straw murder was serving time on the Count r Road Camp. H ow his name came to be found in Mrs. Straw's house ii; still an unsolved mystery.

While we were engaged in our search of the house, information came that "A. B. Rutit."' whose name had been found on the sea-bag. had been located in an Oh io city where he had been staying with hjs family for the past three weeks. Th is, of course, p ut him out of the pit· ture. but he reported that one of his sea-bags had been sto len from him j ust prior to hi i< dii-· <"harge from lhe :'\aval sen ice.

defendant was engaged in the fo llowing p lan of busine . He would go to Fort Worth mer· cha nts and " ould arrange lo sell their goods in o utlying districts with this understanding: The merehont would list the goods at a named vric·t> and the defendant would take them out to sell unde r an agreement tha t if he &0ld them he \\US lo recei\•e fifteen per cent of the sale price, and if he d id not succeed in selling the goods he could return the goods to the merc•ltant. He secu red a lot of goods from the inanoger of the Popular S tore but. instead of laking them out and scJling the m as he had prc:-viously done, he left for New Orleans carrying the goods with him and there adopting an a .. umed name.

'\o" what o ffense, if any, had he commjued? Ln<l<'r the Texas statutes it was not &ealing hec:-ause of inability t o prove animus furandi or intent to steal at the time of takin(r, nor could it be theft by fraudulent laking for no one <' ould My when he decided to keep th~ ~ood<1. It was not a case of s" ind ling bccauSt' that rt'qu ircd proof that ti tl r passed and the

State·s case was that the owners never intended to pass title to him . U nder the Texas law it could not be embezzlement beca use there was n o fiduciary relationship of employer·employee. So, if anything, it was a case of larceny by bai lee. which statute had been designed to cover the case "where property of one person wa$ obtained by another by a cont ract of hiring or bo r rowing or other bailment, and such person. while having posse.."'-Sion, shou Id fraudulent I) con vert it to his O \\ n use . .,

SO THE question was this,- l .nder the facts outlined above did Lee take the goods as a

bailee? The p rosecutor said , " yes." and the merchant testified for the State t hat there wa!' a bailmenl only. ·•1 did not sell him the stuff but let him have it to sell or br ing back and I was to par him a commission for selling as I had done on previous transact ions, of fifteen per cent • . . I did not give th.is defendant Dl)

consent t o sell or appropriate this property for his own use.'· And the defendant was found guilty and t his was affirmed by the Court ()f Crimina l Appeals, the defendant being sent lo the penitentiary for fou r years.

But was it a bailment ? There was a dissenl by an appe llate judge who declared that title had passt!d to Lee and to this judge the facts disclosed only a " sale or return contract"' whe reby Lee bought the goods from the store on cred it, contracting to pay the price asked (eighty.five per cent of the marked price. with the option of returning goods which might remain unsold ) . And the merchant nt one point in his testimony admitted ly said, "I o ld the defendant goods out of the Popular Store from Se plemhf'T 25th to October 15th on two o r more different occas ions ." Was Lee in business for himself or \•&!> he st-lling for the store on com· mission, being a bailee of the goods? Here is the interesting results. Bailnu:nl ?- Lee s pends four years inside tbc bars ; Sale?-Lee is just a business man of doubtful credit, but as free a!> you or L Bailmenl? - he i::. a cr iminal, a felon , too, with t11e loss of certain valuable c ivil rights , d isgraced, d iscredited, a jailbird forever; Sale? - the m erchant pockets a loss. tlinfs a l I.

The write r is incl ined lo favor the sale or retur n idea . It seems that Lee got title. He could sell the goods and pay ejgbty-6 ve per cent back to the merchant. or keeJ> the goods wh ich he wanted al that price. or he cou ld at h i,s option return any of them. There was no obl igat ion lo return the identical goods lo the store ~ there was no hirinf{ or borrowing or usua l type of hailment. I n fact it seems reasonable to think that the purpose was not to return Lhc identical goods a t a ll and. if a ll went well, nono of the articles was expected lo be re.she lved in the Popular Store. And if Lee was reselling his own (but unpaid for) goods with the option of returning unso ld parts he was nol gui lty d any crime whatever .

But Lhere are some grounds for holding 11 ith the majorit r . It would st ill be a bail111en1 if the goods were con signed to Lee l o sell for tlw mercha11l upon a fifteen per cent commi sio11. And is it not as logical to say that the fi f1 een per cent was comm~sion as to say it was profir?

If X gave you a h orse to keep and sell for him. stating that you could re ta in a ll that it b rought on sa le abo,•e a ce rtain sum, no matlrr what price ) ou rcreived. it would not be eipected that X ceased th e reby lo own him or lhnt }'OU were not bound l o return h im if un olcl. Moreover, \\ ith the defendant operat ing upon a shoestrin g and of limited financ ial respon"i· b ility, il is doubtful if the O\H1t• r expe<:ted ti>

pass title to Lee. Also. it !>hould be remt>n1-hc red that the merchant S<'t h is own pr ice on the goods and it wug expected that they would bf' so ld at that price on ly.

Recently in my law class a goodly portion tlf

a dass hour was devoted to the Lee case wit h n marsha ll ing of the a rgument pro and con, which c reated a pretty dense s moke screen of dogma resulting in a complei-e confusion. But a br ight stu dent raised a hand and said, "Why. this case is easy. I can solve it. All we haH' to do is lo find 0 1a rd1eLl1.er t itle po:ued !.. Ye;;. that is all we need to do.

This case is rather fascinating to the writer. Sometimes. of cou rse. it is easy lo fasten crim· inu l responsibility upon dishonest folks, for exam ple. those gentry who specia lize with chi l· dren : " ] ' }] give you these h r igh t n irkels if you will ru n up a nd gel those o ld green C'Oupo11;. out of your mama's purse:' But. time and again , we meet up with these cases where- the peuitent iar r term is dependent upon legali ~li,· reasonins b)' appell ate courts . the problem ht .. ing so lved by going bac·k to Lon~ Hold or Stor) 's general it ies upon bai lments a nd salt":<". And the result l o the layman ver} proper!} 111ay be considered lo be abs urd. The legal solution may be a toss·up, hut the resu lt o f the de<·ision was the penitentiary for Lee. Perhaps that conclusion was finally reached because Lee got t he goods and skipped out t o New Orlean:<". Had he stayed at home and met the issue. tht>n the chances are 1hat he never u·o1dd har>e be· cnm e a criminal!

be used in the construction of the church . Lawson left Como for Memphis but, instead of pur· chasing materials for the church, he absconded and left for parts unknown. He was arrested and returned from California several months later. He presented no defense at trial. relying upon the presumption of innocence.

Now what offe nse, if any, has been committed? Certainly not larceny because the church offi cers voluntarily paid the money over to him. Nor hns he committed the crime of false pretenses because he made no false "pre· tenses'' which could be proved. There was n o bailment. So he was indicted for embezzlement. which offense usuall y is defined as "the fraudulent appropriation lo his own use or benefit of property or money entrusted lo him by another, by a clerk, ngcnt, trustee, public officer or other person acting in a fiduciary character.'' This seemed to cover the case nicely. The pro!!Ccutor argued that the ddendant was an agent for the church and occupied a fiduciary relationshi p (one of trust ). He claimed that Lawson was not a " building contractor" as the church officers had required neither written contract nor bond from him. To the prosecutor it was plain from the e,;dence "that the officers of the church fl;ll\ e the appellant the money for lhe ~Ir purpoi:-e of purchasing materials so that

the construction of the building c<•uld be started immediately.'' He either received the money as agent to buy the materials for the church officials or as a trust fund for that very purpose. Moreover. it was argued that at any event the defendanl was gu ilty of a fraud of a " raw and highly reprehensible" type, and the conviction ·' full y comports with justice."

DETECTIVE MARTIN McGUIRE

Offi«r McGuire during mott of his career in the Chicago Police Oepartmrnt has been anigned to the Deuctive Di· viaion and ha' frequently won recognition for hi.s services. H r has appeared in the pages of POLICE "1313" before - once with a story iand again with an ariiclc.

Now what defense ran be made ? The defense emphasized the general agreement as a contract to erect the building and declared that the money was the fir.ft poyme11.J. of the s ix thousand eight hundred dollars which the church was bound to make. Having been paid to Lawson on the contract the money was his own properly to do with as he pleased. Of course, persons who breach contracts are liable to be sued, but certainly it does not necessarily follow that persons refusi n~ to carry out con tracts are criminals. If not a payment on con tract defense coun11el claimed that " at most it was merely a Loan to enable him to finance the purchase of lumber." And we no longer imprison people who foil to pay their debts. Quite boldly it was argued that the only trust in this case was the trust that Lawson would perform his contract, "But ever)' time a trust in the ''ord or promise of another is disap· pointed, a crime does not eventuate.''

hurden "as upo n the - tale lo prove the fidu c·iar) r haracler of the prepayment clearl y and be"ond a reasonable doubt and the embezzlement statute must be strictl \' construed. Lawson was no agent o f the church acting unde r the church officers· directio n and he was no employtt but was an independent contracto r . He was to build a church complete; they were to pay for it. The mo ney was paid over to La"son on the contrar t, therefore it wai< hi i<. A m a n r nnnol embeizle hi l'< own monev.

So the r a!'IC:'. we ll argued, came to the Su · pre me Court for decision. He re. again, a mat· ter o f utmost importa nce to the defe ndant was g ra, e ly discussed upon the question of what kind o f agreement had been made-principal and agent or independent contractor? If Law· son wa an agent entrusted with church funds to bu)' mate rials for the church, he is to go to the penitentiary. But if Law5-0n was a con· tracto r he is liable only for rivil s uit for breach o f contract .

The S uprt"me Court reversed and Lawson was di!'Charged. the court hold ing that the pa\ menl was o n the contract and " the money was not turned o,·e r to h im in trust for the specific pu rpose of p urchasing the mate rials for the buildinp;.'' Therefore the fiduc iary relation. es._~ntial to embezzlement. never existed. The Court probabl v was distressed to see Lawson escape because it declared that he "is a swindle r o f the most reprehensible sort," but the Court felt that it was " bound by the law" and tha t its " rule protects the honest but unfortunate con· tractor from criminal prosecution. for appro· prialing funds paid h im upon the contract ."" E' idently the fact that Lawson Bed with the money was not su fficient to outweigh the desire to keep precedents from being built up which later might pro ve to be embarrassing when an " honest" man was charged under a s imilar !act situa tion.

Probably the r eader is asking himself. " What make a man a criminal ?" Are criminals a little unsound mentally? Do their g lands acl up ? Are the)' products of unhealthy environments? Or are c riminals made just by the juggling o f facts and la w by courts? Mosl of u look upon a criminal as a wicked. dangero us. treache ro us, stupid, lustful , o r brutal "enemy of 5ociety." but Messr5. Lee and Lawson bad their criminality weighed most solemnl y and Lee wenl to pri5on and Lawson got o ff scot free. Pe r· haps Lawson ' being prosecuted at the behest of a 1egro church in Mississippi may be some explanation, but it is doubtful. As far as can be seen, Lawson deser ved as much as Lee to be puni hed . The fact remains that our laws art' becoming too numerous and too exact to be readily a nd accurately administered by the courts.

In all the cases o f " dishonesty" reviewed ubo,·e, g ra\ e diffi r ulties face the courts in the

applicati on o f concrete statutes strictl v interp reted. The ans~er ~ms lo be that ":e might return to the gent"ral commandment. '·Thou shalt not steal."' and allow a libera l interpretation by admini tra li,·e o ffic ials. But would we be conten t to a ll ow the junking of our numerous property protcrling statutes. with all the ir loopho les, and allo w prosecuto rs. juror~. a nd judges to a p p ly just plain old commo11 sta ndards o f ho nesty or dishonesty as our law ? '\lfora l standards might ser ve lo convict tht> 5ha rper and swindle r who now seek, where\er posii.ible, to operate "within the law." but the,· are o personal and so subject to change lha-t most of the present day safeguards, which realh· do proleC'l the innocent contractor, debtor. o.r profit-mnker. would be lost. No amount of I inkering will make the c riminal law perfect. Always some innocent people are unjustly con· 'icted and on the other hand guilty persons escape the ir just deserts. If we expand the protection o f the innocent, mo re guilty ones will eseape ; iC we set our statutes to catch and punish all the guilty a larger number of honest unfortunates will be trapped by the law. Thin~ \\Ork out pretty well, now. 0£ course. enough leewa y is g iven t o allow the continuance of the gel-rich-quick-professio n. but our laws still are capable o f being used to break up the mo!'l ne farious schemes a nd to force the sha r per to u~ more and m ore intelligence in o rder to sur· vive. Hi tory indicates that the law a lwa)S "Cems to be just one jump behind the crook. but always it is j ust one jump. As forms of dishone tv become commo n. the law finaJlv catches up. ·

FROM A DETECTIVE'S NOTES (Continued from Pa8e 16.)

J)icked up n h nmmer which rd left on the b ottom of the stand beside her bed when I 'd fin i~hed tacking down the ca rpet in her bed -r oom that day. and struck her a couple o f times on the head. I didn't mean to kill her . I didn "t think that I'd hit her hard. but she wouldn"t 111 lk to me. I covered her up and went back to bed."

"What did you do with the h ammer?" Light· ner cut in.

"Threw it into the tool -b ox in the kitchen:· was the reply. (We hnd found it there on Oc· lober 15th.)

Every night but the night of October 14th he remained in the house. McQuatc said. Mrs. Straw didn't d ie until the morning of Octobe r 9th. Then he began to wonder wh at he would do about the body. It was then that he visited the used car salesman and h ad the man drin• him out into the country. " I was looking fo r a ~ood place lo hide the body:· he C'--plained.

On October 12th o r 13th- he wasn"t su re which- he began to dig a grave under an adjoining house. but was unable to complete it hccau~ he struck hard soil. ( A grave was found three days after the discove ry of the body and the tenant of the h ouse under which it had heen dug reported that she had heard knocking sounds from beneath h er h ouse dur ing the night of Octobe r 12th.)

Because he could no t complete the gra,re . ~lcQuate took Mrs. S traw·s body to the bathroom and dismembered it on October 14th. He rummaged about the place and found the seahag and the other articles in which he bad wrapped the body. Then h e borrowed the car and carted the remains to the wa terfront and threw them into the bay.

·'They didn 't sink, as I thought they would," he added.

On June I , 1934, McQuate appea red before Judge L. N. Turrentine. McQua te's attorney ~on tended thnt his client was guilty of murder in the second degree; that he had not intended to kill the " om an ; that he h ad st r uck her while in a fit of anger; that the crime was n ot premeditated; tha t it was not wilful nor delibe rate.

District Attorney \Vhelon called the state ·s 11 itnesses. Doctor Colby testified that there was no sign of healing in the wounds. as there would have betn hnd the woman la in a li"e for six da)s as McQuate ins isted sh e had . Other sur geons, who had been . present at tlie autopsy, gave thei r opinions. Then came the car salesman: the neighbors and I rela ted the conditions found at the h ome of the murdered woman.

McQuate d id not choose to te "tify. Thev ~an~ed him, months Inter, because of the t ri0f"

This is si milar to th e hammerless. ~lide-acti on repeating shotp;un ~XC('pt tha t the stock is cut away just back of the pisto l gr i p and the barrel length is only 15 inches. making the whole arm but 25Y2 inch('s O\'cr -all. Most repeaters, pump or auto, may be c.:onverted lo police guns by culling away the stock j ust back or the grip. and culling the bnrrel off j ust forwa rd of the magazine. Most p olicemen are familia r with hoodlum guns of this type that hit\ e been altered from standard shotguns.

l'ntil recently. Ithaca made wha t they termed an Auto and Burglar Gun. This was a doublebarreled weapon wi th the sn me action as the doub le hammerless shotgun, but it had a pistol l ~ pe of stock and short (10 inch ) barrels. It \\as 20-Ga. and weighed a bout 4-!4 lbs. Th is a rm was intended primaril v for the protection of home or store against burgla rs. fo r use in the car in event of a hold-up. and also for a rming policemen. dctecti,·es. watchmen. sheriffs and deput ies, payroll guards, bank and express mes!'t'ngers. game wardens, ra ilway mail clerks and the like. Vnlike the 12-Ga. sawed-off shotguns rom crted to pisto l size from full leng th weapons. this double 20 could be fired with one hand much like a rc\•o l"er. Though limited to two shots ( \\ ithout reloading) as against ix from a re,·oh·e r, each shot might contain as many as 15 small buckshot. This facto ry-made gun was rarely used by criminals although they make extensive use of h ome-made convers ions . Due to Federal regulations go,•e rning machine guns and short barreled shotguni.-, this excellent a rm is no longer ma11ufaclun•d. Dt::>pite this law. both machine gu ns and sawed-off sh otguns a re' st ill widdy used by crimina ls. l\lany people appart>ntl y belie\'C'd that Federal curtailment of these par ticular Wf.'apons \\ ould end robbery a nd murder. fo rgetting that robbery and mu rder \\en· alreadv unlawful. The de<'rcase in bank hold-ups is due. not to this law, but to the fact that a large number of criminals who spccializl'd in this type of t' rimt>. ha,·e been e ithe r killed or imprisoned .

Desplaines Truly. ii is remarkable just how the

human mind functio ns under an extr eme emergency. Just the -01her day, Leslie I verson got up and diRCOvered 1h11t he had but a few minules to gel 10 the station. He dashed inlo hi!! cloth es in a hurry bu1 neglected to remove his pajamas. Arriving at the slation just under the wire. his atte n · I ion was directed to the fact that he had n o nec ktie. He corrected that in 11 hurry- just pulled the belt off and made a c ravat out of it. For an alibi. 1he boy had one thal wa.s a pip. " My wife buys all my shirts and ties and s he hasn ' t a,ny taste when i t comes to men's clothes," he said.

A lragic tale of being lost in a big ci ly took place when Tiny Tim went lo ins pection at Garfield Park. H e got there a day ahead o f time and w as wandering around in a daze and but for the good offices o f a Park Police· man might s till he there looking for someone to inspect his new rags.

McHale went over to exchange his license plates for some new shining o nes so his partner went into Weibolt's and bo ught many yards of blue ribbon. When questioned about his purchase he remarked : "Golla have prizes for my dogs."'

The ranks o f bachelors are rapi d ly dwindling. Steve Wal60n took unto himself a wife. The noted commander of kitchen vessels , Admiral Alesia was best man.

Charley Grimm must have I urned green with envy when he saw the tum· out for the softball team at Union Park. Of course, there were some c reaking joints around the station for a few days after, but soon we are going to take o n all comers who think they might be able to play ball.

The annual convention of the Head Club will be held at the Erris Head, Ireland, according to an announcement by the Headman, Wladek Skolny. Reservations can be made with A sst. Headman Kewpie Fitzgerald.

John Angland was telling of a fel· low he was talking to the other day. and he said this guy k ept pounding his point home by punching him with a finger o n the chest. John said the next morning he looked as s poiled a s a Jeep.

J ohn Angland is also s inging, "Give me a horse, a big fat horse and give me a buc k or two and let me wahoo."
