the police was not over the matter of

stand Of the aldermanic committee.
IL was learned that Second Deputy

an arrest on an old charge Of main
tanning a disorderly house. as such d
charge could De prosecuted up TO five
years from the date Of the alleged

closures from Fox. Both Fox and his
lawyer, Louis ]. Grant intimated 10

had the matter under consideration
and that he was inclined to believe his
