Edgar Downs holds one record
which probably no other member

Washington and join the police
force, where he served 80 years
with distinction.
He was commended for captur-
ing a New York jewel thief who
came here and robbed visitors of
several thousand dollars worth of
gems in a downtown hotel.
Only once in his 80 years serv-
ice was he required to draw his
sun, and that was to Suodue a
dope-crazed colored man. He was
commended for his work in break
ing UP the dope traffic and cap
turing a number Of users and
