Small Boy Howls
AS Officer Saves
Him From Water
Jimmy O'Steene, Age 4,
Shows Dislike for
Policemen.
FINGERPRINTS

Jimmy O'Steene, I. doesn't like po-
licemen, police stations or anything
that has to do with police. He made
this known in no uncertain terms last
night
Jimmy had been just rescued" when
he showed his distaste. He didn't think
he had needed ''rescuing" and that was
the cause Of his leather-lunged out
break at the eleventh precinct station
The lad had gone to AnacoStia Park
near his home at 1926 Ridge Place
southeast. and had started playing in
water near the sea wall when JOSEPH,
Matthews, 800 Eleventh street south
east, c1me by and saw him. Mr.. Mat
thews didn't think 1t was safe for one
so young to play in the water and ef-
fected the rescue"
Jimmy, whose father, William
O'Steene. is chief radio electrician of
the United States Coast Guard, dis
agreed with his "rescuer."
At the eleventh precinct station,
where he was taken, he could only tell
police, between howls, that his name
was Jimmy. and that he didn't know
where he lived.
Noting Jimmy,s aversion to the police
station Mr.. Matthews took the boy to
his home. where Jimmy got acquainted
with Mr.. Matthews son, Vincent, 6.
The boys played together until Mr..
O'Steene asked eleventh precinct police
about his son, and was promptly told
where he was.
Jimmy and Vincent made plans to
play together again.
