!. BY LESLIE HELD
FOR FAKE RAID
Art Dampier, Two Mates to
Be GriIled on U. S.

lum, recently freed from the state
reformatory by Governor Harry G.
Leslie without paying $500 fine
on an assault conviction, was held
by police today in connection with
a fake booze raid nov. is.
Dampier and two companions,
known police characters, were ar
rested late Monday by Lieutenant
Dan Cummings and squad. The
trio is charged with robbery and
impersonating federal officers in a
raid on the residence of Eric
Schelski, 908 st. Peter street.
Those held with Dampier are
Chester Alfrey, "A, of 1874 South
Keystone avenue, and Lawrence
Hiatt. 20, downtown hotel resident,
identified by police with west side
hi-jacking activities.
Guns. Money Taken
According to police, the trio
forced their way into Schelski's resi-
dence, in the guise of federal dry
agents, and stole two reYolvers and
SAB.
Detectives Clifford Becker and
Alfred Schultz saw Danpier and
his companions in a borrowed car
in the southeastern section of the
city Monday and notified squad cars
to be on the lookout for them.
Cummings and members of his
squad, later saw them at Ray and
Mount streets, where the trio at
tempted to escape by swerving their
car out of the path of the police
auto. officers crashed their car
into the side of the suspects auto
to prevent their escape.
The fine which Dampier escaped
through executive elemency was
imposed by Criminal Judge Frank
P. Baker after Dampier was alleged
to have slugged a south side resi-
dent in a attacking encounter.
Just Finished Term
Dampier had completed service of
siX-months' sentence on the as
sault and battery with intent to kill
count, when the fine was revoked.
<Ofheials of the Marion county
school fund, into which the fine
would have been paid, admitted
after Dampier's release they proba-
bly, signed the clemency petition,
but were unaware of the facts in
the case.
Leslie was criticised for his Glenn
ency by Baker and county officials
following the hoodlum's release.
Dampier, wounded by gunshot,
was arrested in November by de-
tectives on a charge of chicken
stealing and vagrancy. The va
grancy count was dismissed shortly
after his arrest and he later was
discharged in municipal court on
the theft charge.
