ic the evidence they had discovered,
IL was learned that 1t tended to bear
out the story OF Miss Louise LaRue,
who jumped from her window recently
when she said her life was threatened
by men she accuses with being con-
nected with the white slavers with
whom Cocchi worked
According to Commissioner Wall
stein. the police investigation has only
begun. He declared that every angle
OF the activities, or inactivities of the
department would be gone into thor
oughly until the responsibility for
Cocchis escape had been fully estab-
lished
So far the testimony of some of the
members. Of the police department has
been described as passing the buck"
and while the commissioner said this
might be more or less true, the wit.
nesses from the police department
might find the investigation gradually
closing in on a small circle of the
members of the department. Already
the testimony has shown that the
records of the complaint had been al
tered regarding the time the disap-
pearance OF the Cruger girl was re-
ported to the police. and it was said
this phase of the investigation would
be gone into more fully today

NEW APPLICATIONS
FOR TRAINING CAMP

Three applications from Richmond
men for the second officers training
camp we're received Thursday by Jul
ian Gates, chairman OF the local com.
mittee, and he expects many more.
Men of draft age can apply for the
camp, and if drafted will be allowed to
60 to the camp for training as officers,
instead of being included in the draft
army, according to Gates instruct
ions. Men who applied for the first
camp but were rejected must re-apply
again for the second.
Wayne county's men for the second
camp should number at least eight, &C.
cording to the figures Gates has. Men
who have had military experience and
who are over thirty-one are especially
desired. While the applications of
younger men will be considered, they
will not have as great chance as
those older.
