ACCUSES TWO PATR0LMEN
OF STEALING HIS BOOZE
Philadelphia Transporting Liquor
Surrenders to Shore Police

Atlantic City. July 26. Michael
Vigilincco, of Philadelphia walked into
the Office Of Captain Harry Yntes, of
the police smelling squad" at head
quarters last night, and stated he was
guilty Of Illegally transporting liquor
and asked to be arrested.
. Yates asked to hear the reasons for
his strange request. When he had
finished he was placed In cell, along
with five others. including two mem
bers Of the Police Department.
According to Nigilinicco, he was or
dered with another man to bring down
seventeen cases of liquor from Phila-
delphia aboard a truck. His orders
called for delivery to the Dreamland
Cafe, of which John Chllds is said to
be the proprietor, where he was to
receive 5000. The proceeding went
through clear up to the point of collec-
tion.
Standing in front Of the cafe wait
ing for the money. Nigilinicco was
tapped on the shoulder by two police
men, one in uniform and the other in
plain clothes. He was informed he
was under arrest.
After giving him a scare, Vigilinicco
says they told him to grab his truck
and beat it," He did-but stopped
around the corner. A man, later iden-
titled as Harry Clark, drove up to the
spot he had just vacated and put the
liquor aboard his machine.
