GUARDING HOMES
NEW PROFESSION
Officer Morrissey Proud
of His Prowess in City
of Okmulgee

Wrifreu for Tulsa World

OKMULGEE. Aug. 5.-M Norris
sey came TO Okmulgee in April, this
year, from Topeka, Kan, where he
had been on the police force for the
past eight years.
The Okmulgeo force did not need
any more officers when Morrissey
applied for a Job, although numer-
Gus robberies and other crimes were
daily occurring. Morrissey saw that
the only way to help eliminate crime
in the residence district was TO have
an officer stationed in that section
OF the city
His plan was laid before the city
council. but IL was rejected for lack
OF funds. Morrissey then decided to
put his plan before the residents
of the city direct, particularly those
who lived In Ninth and Thirteenth
streets and In South Seminole and
South OkmulCee. Eighty-five home
owners agreed to pa" him a certain
sum for the protection Of their
homes. while away for the summer
vacation months.
Morrissey now makes a frequent
daily inspection OF all OF these homes
and as n resul. he has assisted the
police here IN driving itiuerants out
OF the city. Most OF Morrissey's
work ls done at night, his last round
being at a. m.
SO far he has had occasion to call
Night Captain Larrimore twice 10
help seek out prowlers in his dis
trict.
Morrissey is the type ot officer
who does not take pride IN number
of arrests made, but In his proves
in keeping crooks away from his
/ beat or district.
As a result OF his efforts, resi-
dents in North Okmulgee, from
North Seminole and North Morton,
/ have employed j. +. Kennedy TO
guard their homes at night.
