POLICE CRIMES
TOLD IN COUNCIL
GOLDFISH PROBE
First Witness Tells His
Story to Aldermen

Drunken police have picked out GER
tain men, robbed them, flung them
into Jail and kept them for days with
out being booked, and conducted re-
peated and continual searches on
their premises according to the testi-
mony of Samuel CHEEKY. $50 West

the City Council Committee on Police,
which began hearings yesterday.
Money Disappears with Bills
CHEEKY told how Lieutenant Jensen,
of the detective bureau flying squad,
went into his combination pool room
grocery-butcher shop a week ago last
Saturday night with a squad of
drunken policemen.
When Jensen's men departed, $500
in checks and $3.50 in cash, which he
had been counting on a fat-topped
desk, disappeared simultaneously.
Upon hearing that they were ac-
cused Of taking this money, Jensen
came back with his strong arm squad,
CHEEKY told the committee, and ar
rested everyone in the place. Il was
only after his lawyer. Richard Prem
derpast had threatened Jensen re-
peatedly with counter action that
CHEEKY and the others were released
on bond.
Arrested when Police Charged
They were arrested Saturday night
at eleven o'clock and not even booked
until late Sunday.
CHEEKY declares he was continually
threatened by the police as they de-
clared he was on their bad books"
When charges were fled with the
chief OF police against Jensen, Prem
dergast was told by Jensen that "he
was drunk or doped" when he made
these charges.

the investigation which assist

taocik yesterday admitted is be-
ing conducted by states attor-
ney Groves office.
The investigation was insti-
tuted at the suggestion of A..
Borg, Cicero plain clothes man,
an eager hacker of Western
Electric exploitation, who de-
clared he was shocked at the
use of the word "semi-prosti-
tute" in an issue of the DAILY
WORKER. The states attor-
ney's investigation is to decide
whether or not the DAILY
WORKER has been printing
"scandalous matter"
Frank Moutaocik, assistant states
attorney told reporters that, "The
thing the state is interested in is not
the charges against Karl Reeve, but
whether or not the paper is printing
scandalous matter We want to go
over the facts and find out whether or
not that charge is true"
Il have sent for every DAILY
WORKER which contains an article
on the Western Electric, and expect to
get them and go over them today"
continued the assistant states attor-
ney. Il am not now IN a position to
state what definite action will be TAX
