'wo Tiny Lads, Believed to Have Helped Their

to Jail With Police.
HE TURNS AMAZON TOWARDS POLICE
RS. LeOna KazIowski Proves to be Real Amazon
When the Police Attempt to Arrest Her
and Take Her to JAIL

thought it might gain release for
their mother, but they baked when it
came to going behind the bars with her.
The trail started Monday. afternoon
at $3.50 when ,Patrolman Harold Rock
was sent to the Kresge store to answer
call that shoplifting was being done
there. 1t was claimed that the two
youngsters, Walter aged and Chester
aged 4, were taking the merchandise
and carrying it out to their mother,
who was waiting on the street for
them.
Circumstantial evidence seemed to be
against them. The mother when APP
pretended had in her possession large
assortment of things which appeared
to have come from the store. There
were 25 handkerchiefs, 2 bundles of
rubber bands, 4 bars Of Jap Rose soap,
2 note books, boxes of crayons, 20
bottles of perfume and rubber balls.
Fights the Police Officer.
At the police office, the mother in
sisted that she must be released in
order to go home to get supper for her
husband and the children When Off
Ger Emil Clausen attempted to hold
her, she attempted to fight her way to
the door, striking the policeman in the
face. 1t had been the intention of the
officers to allow her to remain in the
office, but when she showed fight, there
was no recourse except to take her to
jail.
She had carefully carried bundle
which the police had not investigated.
When she was started towards the Jail,
Secretary Meissner insisted on search
ing this as well. In it he found some
/ meat and groceries and also carefully
concealed bottle filled to the brim
with what appeared to be lincolnshire
whiskey.' She will probably also be
booked on a charge of having liquor in
her possession as result of this dis
covery.
Another Fight at Jail.
At the sheriff's office there was an
other fight Mrs. Kazlowski when an at
tempt was made to take her to a cell,
grabbed hold of both Of the children
and tried to take them with her despite
the fact that they did not want to go
to Jail.
"We don't want to go to Jail"
screamed out the children and they
fought their mother in protest.
Little Chester was scared and kept
on crying after his mother, left.
Don't you cry" said his brother.
Were not going to Jail now and I'll
get you home"
Policewoman Mrs. Mcneil took the
youngsters in charge and planned to
take them to the detention home to
await the coming Of their father.
Meanwhile the police sought a search
warrant for the home to make raid
and discover whether there was any
stolen property there or whether there
was more moonshine similar to that
found in the bottle in the woman's
possession.
Pleads Guilty Today.
Since the possession of the moon
shine was an offense which could not
be disproven, the police elected to place
this charge against her and to drop the
complaint that she had been shoplift-
ing, upon which she had been arrested.
Mrs. Kazlowski, arraigned on the
charge of having moonshine in posses
sion before Acting Municipal Judge R.
v. Baker this morning, entered plea
of guilty. In response to the question
of the district attorney as to where
she got the moonshine, she said she
bought it Of farmer at Rice and
Grand avenues. The farmer was ped
ding his moonshine wares like any
thing else, she said and crying his
wares in the same way as he might
cry turnips.
| Sentence was deferred while the
judge took the case under advisement.
