mother. He grabbed a barre. stave
and hit the boarder so hard that
ne died. The boy was arrested and
sem TO the reformatory for man
slaughter. being pardoned three
months later by the governor.
In 1910 Siege became a police

deputy chief Of Electives.
In 1927 Mayor Thompson had
him ousted from the police depart

that Siege had concealed his youth

which was originally spelled
"Stedge."
Siege was put out Of the depart
ment. He retired TO his farm near
