What! No Orchids For Our Finest?

sharp criticism of the local police department is made in 8 statement given The Democrat today by Mrs Eileen Morse of Walnut street. mother of Eugene Morse, cigar store clerk who was Kidnapped Sun. day morning while his captors stole his store keys and robbed the Schulte cigar store on East Main street.
 Morse was OverpOwered by four men on lower North Main street just after midnight Saturday and held prisoner for more than five hours. Con- federates of his Rl,ductOrs used his store keys to gain entrance to the Echulte establishment.
 Mrs MOrse's letter follows: To The Editor of The Demo. crat: What is wrong with the police protection of the city of Waterbury? At 12:f5 mid. night man is held up, beaten and robbed, and taken for ride, right on our main street and police are in sight. Then, too, our whole court system is wrong: just a short while ago a man was badly beaten and robbed, then the gangsters were caught but let go again to find new Victims.
 A bank was robbed a few short years ago. also Osp a main street. with no police in sight. Is it getting sn that the streets of our city are not safe to walk on unmo1ested? It's about time the citizens and taxpayers had word to say. We, the people, nay for pro. tectiOn but are unable t0 get 1t. An average of two or three hold-ups a week looks very had for the "police protection'' of Waterbury.

QUAKER, BURNS
FAN MAJ"
Outlaws Father Looks After
Two Daughters, Does House
work, and Runs Farm

MOORESVILLE, Ind, April IS
G.N.SO.-Sitting before a wood
stove in his humbly furnished
home here each night, John Dill
linger, sr., 69-year-old father Of
Americas public enemy No. !,
feeds his daily batch of fan mail
to the red flames.
His two daughters, one 10
years old and the other Is,
struggle with their school les
sons nearby. This aged Quaker's
rustic philosophy is:
"'Tain't fair to show the
letters foolish people write
me-"
He consigns to the same fire
any and all the letters received
from his notorious son on his
nomadic travels. He explains:
'It wouldn't be fair to my
boy to leave them laying
around"
He Does All HOusewOrk
The elder Dillinger is q mother
and father combined to his little
daughters. Upon them he lavishes
all the affection Of a grieving
heart. He does all the houSework
himself, cooks the meals, washes
the dishes, puts the two girls to
bed and sees them off to school.
Then he tries to catch up with his
much interrupted farm work.
All day long the procession Of
automobiles passes by his home as
curious motorists from far and
near drive up to view the home Of
Dillinger.
The filling-station operator on
the corner q half mile away esti-
mated that he directs so automo-
bileS every hour to the Dillinger
homestead on weekends. The
elder Dillinger says:
'I kinda don't believe the
newspaper story that my boy
was seen near Muncie, Ind"
every stranger Is suspected
Of being Johnnie"
CAN'T HEAR NOW
Asked if he had received any
mail lately from his son, the old
man replied:
''It would be impossible to
hear from him now"
Evidence Of the respect in
which the elder Dillinger is held
by this community was seen in
the letters Of sympathy which he
has received from neighbors and
friends. He says:
They've all been mighty
good to me-"
Then he excused himself.
