POLICE HAVE
UNUSUAL CASE
Man With Contagious Disease
Will Not be Admitted at Any
Institution ENDS at Jail.

The police have an unusual case
on their hands at present which is
causing Chief Burke unsual concern.
On Friday Of last week Steve Wis
.cosky, ffty-seven years old. with nc
home, was picked up on the street
for s~afekeeping by Patroiman John
Kurpiel. He was placed in the jail
and, it was learned has been suffer-
ing from a serious contagious
malady. Owing to the nature of his
disease he will not be admitted to
the city hospital, the poor house will
not take him o will he be admitted
at the isolation hospital. Chief
Burke stated this morning. The
Board of Health has been appealed
to in order that he might be removed
from the police station, it being sug-
'gested that a tent might be set UP to
accommodate him on the outskirts Of
the city. The matter was brought TO
the attention of Mayor Frank Dorsey
this morning by Chief Burke and
some definite action is expected
shortly.
Chief Burke claims the lookup is
no place for the man as no charges
are preferred against him and he
does not believe in placing other
men in the same room with Visco-
sky. The man served two or more
terms in states prison having been
charged with killing his mother-in-
law many years ago and other crimes
after that.
