NOTHING COMES
OF THIS YARN

Nothing has developed in the story
sprung some time ago in which OFFICERS
Buckley and O'Keefe of West Ham,

ged and robbed prisoners who were
taken in as drunk and disorderlv. .
Even Judge Frank D. Green. on whose
venerable head the story was hung.
cannot locate the men who are said to
have preferred the charges.
The police of West Hammond sta
that If such charges We're made by
liberated prisoners they desire an in
vestigation. Chief of Police Okrai is
not entirely skeptical about the mat
ter
1T is possible that these fellows did
tell something of the sort to their
friends for when men spend their
wages riotously and cannot pay their
debts after a night in jail they gen.
orally say the police robbed them. This
excuse is heard by the wife of many a
profgate."
Who are the Men.
Judge Adam Stachowicz states that
he knows nothing of the matter and
that no complaints have been made tc
him. There is evidently nothing to
it," he stated. "or we would have heard
1t long ago. The men have a means OF
recourse if they have been treated that
way"
