CHURCH HILL RESIDENCE.
Officer Careless in Use Of Pistol.
Case Goes to Grand Jury.

The Purity Squad, sometimes
called the Bootleg Squad having
received it's usual underground tip,
under the leadership CT Sergeant
Dan W. Duling raided 612 N, SOth
ST., being armed with search
warrant. The redoubtable whiskey
sleuth explained conditions to Judge
John l.. Ingram last Monday morn
ing, the raid having been made Sun
day, October 18th.
A bad dog, known TO do the bid
ding of his owner, notified all par
ties of any attempt by anyone TO
enter that house from the rear.
That this dog knew his business was
evidenced by the fact that the squad
had to seek entrance from fhe front.
Sergeant Duling- testified that the
smell of whiskey was everywhere,
but the whiskey itself was nowhere
in sight.
There were evidences that this
whiskoy had found it's way intN the
city sewer by way Of the kitchen
sink. Sergeant Duling reluctantly
withdrew with nothing found.
But the willy sergeant had with
drawn from the premises after ne
had hidden one of his squad in the
house, The name OF the officer is
J. r. Paul. He described the glee-
full conversation as to how the IN
mates had gotten away" with the
officers. A white man had entered
and was drinking out OF half-plnt
bottle of whiSkey. Then OFFICER
Paul emerged from his hiding place:
As for the white man, he vaulted
out of the back window and over
the back fence, regardless Of the
bad dog. He has not been seen
since. Then Russell Allen, who is In
charge Of the house appeared. He
had scuffle with OFFICER Paul, who
he charged with striking him over
the head with blackjack.
Allen said that he held the oft-
GERS arm to keep him from striking
him again The officer had drawn
his revolver and the bullet went
in the floor. The officer claimed
that Allen had him by the throat
and was choking him. Allen denied
this. The house is said to have o
bad reputation and Officer Paul
seemed to have lacked that coolness
and forbearance essentially necessary
