turned around the two whipped out
revolvers and told me TO make no
noise.
You won't get hurt If you do as
you're told,' the pretended sick man
said. and his voice was no longer

They got my jewelry and money in
few seconds and then ordered me to
sit down. Ono of them produced from
his pocket the ball of twine that they
bound me with. When l was tied they
warned me to make no noise or they
would come back and kill me.
II had sent Loretta out to get
some toys for my nephew and she

POLICE ASK TEAR BOMBS Il
and GAS MASKS AS AIDS
IN THEIR WAR ON THUGS

there was unanimous agreement that
q tear bomb was nothing to turn
loose on q hardworking policeman,
either as an experiment or anything
else.
Inspector Thor said the plan was
to have the tear bomb stored in the
headquarters OF the various inspection
districts and each inspector would
have a squad trained to their use. He
acknowledged there seemed little like
lihood of mob violence necessitating
the use OF the bombs, but asserted the
missiles would be invaluable in drtv-
ing gunmen out of cellars or build
ings in which they were making a
desperate stand with revolvers or
rifles against capture.
There had been instances In this
city where policemen had lost their
lives. he said, advancing into cellars
under fire. In other cities there
were cases where desperate criminals,
determined to kill as many policemen
az possible before being themselves
killed. had made 1t necessary for the
police to employ rifles aud eren lgha
artillery gums to dislodge the.n.
One or two tear bombs could ac-
complish the same result without
danger to the besiegers. ho said.
