Magistrate Thomas A. Nolan, in the
Mems Night Court last night, scored
the police for making petty arrests "to
cover up holdups and burglaries and

tistics for the month"
The magistrates ire was first aroused
after Frank Kramer and eight other
Youths, arrested by Detective Thomas
f. McQuillan. Of the Headquarters squad,
had pleaded guilty of lettering in
Eighth Avenue.
',Who told you to plead guity?"
Nolan asked the boys. who did not an
swer. The court suspended sentence
on them.
II want to tell you young men," he
said, that these officers are not respon-
sibe for these sorts Of arrests. They
are acting under the orders of their
superiors. Such arrests are made to
cover up bigger crimes and make a
respectable showing of statistics for
the month. They are made to cover
up the numerous hold-ups and burg
laries in the city"
Magistrate Nolan turned to Detective
Sergeant William Meyer, who super
vises the work of the Headquarters
squad.
II am tired and sick of these whole
sale arrests of decent, hardworking
respectable New York boys who stand
on corners" he said. THE streets of
