AKRON OFFICERS
Did a Smooth Piece Of
Work Friday.
Filled an Order For Arrest Of Peter
Haskins Within 10 Minutes.

UdohIUo VIVui ~ WIiutVos
Sheriff Edward Parent Of Medina
county highly complimented the Ak
ron Police for the prompt manner in
which two Akron officers filed an
order of arrest for him late Friday az,
ternoon.
At noon Friday a telegram was re-
ceived from the Medina Sheriff re-
questing the authorities to arrest Pc
ter Haskins, colored, who is wanted in
Medina on paternity and non-support
charge The telegram also stated that
the Sheriff would reach Akron Friday
afternoon.
Officers Baker and Kempel were as
signed to locate Haskins. At o'clock
the Medina Sheriff stepped in to the
Police Headquarters office. A moment
later Officer Baker telephoned Clerk
Jos. Campbell that they had located
Haskins and desired TO know If they
should arrest him. The Medina Sheriff
stated that he would catch a train and
return home in ten minutes If the
officers could get the prisoner TO the
depot in the same time. Officer Baker
was asked If 1t could be done and he
replied in the affirmative. Hasliin
was placed under arrest, taken to the
depot and turned over to Sheriff Par
ent in less than the time agreed upon.
1t was probably the quickest arrest
ever made in Akron and the Medina
officer said it was the smoothest piece
of work he ever witnessed.
