OFFICER HOFFMAN INDICATED.
Edward C. Brown Who Said He Found
Policeman in saloon, Weakens.

Edward c. Brown, an account of the
alleged robbery of whom was printed
in THE TINES yesterday, is in hot water.
The story was to the effect that Brown
and Williams Mastros, both of Whit
ing. were the victims of a hold-up and
Brown has been quoted as saying that
officer Holman, whom he sought to
give an account of the robbery. was
found after considerable delay, in Otto
Bauer's saloon.
The policeman who was placed in
this unenviable light has resented the
accusation that he was in a saloon
during the hours of duty. Brown in
turn is accused of having been so in
toxicated that he was in no position to
state the facts as they really were.
Oficeh Holman denies the charge most
emphatically and Brown now has
weakened and tells conflicting stories
of the incident. According TO his own
confession he did not lose all of the
$50 and his watch at the White House.
but spent part of the money at West
Hammond.
As officer Holman is reputed to be
an efficient officer no credence is given
Browns story It IS now believed that
the whole tale is fabrication invented
/ to explain the spending Of more mon
/ ey than he could afford.

POLICEMAN HELD
TO CRIMINAL COURT
Mckay, With O'Brien, His
Accomplice, Bound Over
in Heavy Bonds.

This morning in the South Chicago
branch Of the municipal court Judge
Girten held Patrolman John c. Mckay
and Shamus OBrien to the criminal
court in bonds of $4,000 each on a
charge Of assaulting and robbing
Walenty Jankowski, 1927 Luella ave-
nue. at Eighty street and South
Chicago avenue on the night of Mon
day, May 80.
Jankowski the victim of the assault,
lost $135 which he intended to pay on
a mortgage. In a confession made yes
terday to Captain Dorman of the South
Chicago police, Mckay, who lives at
1927 West Sixtieth street, Englewood,
admitted the assault and robbery, i'm
plicating O'Brien, but declared they
only took SIG from Jankowski.
The police officials and patrolmen of
the South Chicago station unite in de-
claring that Mckay should have been
discharged from the force a year ago,
He is said to have been a frequenter of
saloons and to have been often intoxi-
Gated on duty. Before his appointment
to the police force on April 1 of last
year he was a railroad man. He is
only twenty three years of age and
made his home with his sister in Engle-
wood.
Mckay presented a detected appear
ance when he was arraigned in court
this morning. lie wore citizens
clothing. having exchanged his uni
form for a suit of ordinary clothes
yesterday. He wore white shirt open
at the throat and the ends of his
collar were loose. His hair was un-
combed and his face unshaven. O'Brien
his accomplice in the crime, a little
f1orid faced man with closely-shaver
head, looked the typical crook. Both
men waived examination.

The sailing did not take place wlth-

The rumor that has been abroad for

not all that could be desired, the popu-
larity of the excursion was manifest
by the large attendance of the fra

JOCKO BRIGGS IS
STILL At LARGE
Aurora Police Expect How
ever to Land Him
Before Night.

The. Aurora police did not catch the
notorious Jocko Briggs yesterday,
but say they will positively land him
before night.
Yesterday the authorities maintained
a close watch upon him and when they
thought they could swoop down and
catch him the willy Jocko was gone
But the police are right upon him to-
day and according to a message re-
ceived from Aurora this morning. a
squad of officers are watching a house
of Ill fame where Briggs is supposed
to be and as soon as he steps out OF
the door he will be arrested and taken
to Chicago, where the grand jury want
to see him.
Briggs has been in Aurora ever since
he left West Hammond, according tc
information received from there. hav-
ing been hanging around the Aurora
dives.
Briggs is known to be a desperate
character and If he thinks he has {
chance of making his get away from
the police he probably will not stoI
at the sight of a few revolvers.
August Arnold. the West Hammond
man, who went Briggs bonds for $500
has taken out papers for his arrest ol
a charge of jumping his bond an'
says he will see that Briggs is prose
| cuted to the full extent of the Law
| when his case comes up.
When Briggs is captured he will b
| taken to the Cook county Jail wher
he will remain until his trial, whic
will probably nos come up for two 0
three months.
The West Hammond police are JOY
Gus over the fact that Briggs is like
ly to be captured as they all want t
see him go up for some of the thing
| he has done in West Hammond.

Chicago Organization Offers for Sale
A Fairy Tale About Waterways.

for sale at a dollar a throw a story
to the effect that Chicago, New York
Pittsburg. and other capitalists are
planningto network the entire region
with a s10,O0O,00O system of water
ways.
The story was the veriest sort of a
pipe dream and an exceedingly crude
piece of work.
The story goes on to state that the
promoters are awaiting the approval
of Lieutenant Colonel Bixby Of the en-
gineering corps but inquiry at the gov
ernment engineering headquarters re
suited in the statement from one o
the officials there that SO far as he knew
I the matter had never been submitted

RAID DIVES
ONCE MORE
The West Hammond Police
Make Rounds of Resorts

TO GO HARD THIS TIME
Justice Flynn Declares He Will Show
No Clemency on Second
0ffense.

Two of the West Hammond police
men, officers Kosmalo and Olkroy, back
ed up by their ever ready revolvers
raided the Nonpariel, located at II
State street last night and arrested the
proprietor and five of the girl inmates.
Baxter and the girls were taken to
the police station where they made
use of the telephone. calling up Peter
Max, the ex-president of the village
who went their bonds for $25 each.
After the documents had been drawn
up and signed they were released to
appear for trial Monday forenoon at
8 o'clock.
The police had 1t tipped off to them
that Baxter would be running full
blast last night so the officers were de-
tailed to raid the place If they found
any evidence.
1t is belived that 1t will go hard with
Baxter and his girls this time as they
were ordered out of the village before
and on promising to do so were given
a small fine of IS and costs, but they
with Baxter have violated their prom
ises and will have to take the conse-
quences.

Yesterday another dog was killed

fact that two cases of this kind have

the explanation that perhaps mad dog
