Intelligent Driving" New Study at Crosby High School
Former Waterburian Figures
In Capture OF Bank Robbers
Maurice Shea of Washing
ton Hill Now Police Ser
geant in San Diego

The heroism of a former resident
Of Washington Hill. Maurice Shea,
comes in for high praise in an
article in a recent issue Of Real
Detective" magazine. Shea is now
a sergeant In the police department
Of San Diego, CAL, and the article
recounts the great part that he
played in the capture Of the BLACK
and White Bandits" gang which
was terrorizing California banks.
In a recent letter, Sergeant Shea
says that he plans to come back
to Waterbury when he ends his po-
lice career in the west and renew
his acquaintance on the Hill. He
spent some years at sea before en-
tering police work.
Remembered by many WATERBURY,
ans as Messy" Shea, effected the
capture of the hunted bandits
through sheer courage which un-
nerved a bandit who had a sawed
off shot gun pointed at the police
man. Sergt. Shea and other Off
GERS went to q house where the
bandits were in hiding. Shea had
his gun in his pocket as he walked
in and found himself covered with
the shotgun. AS the gun was point
ed at his mid-riff, Shea, instead of
raising his hands, told the criminal:
Drop your gun and put your hands
up. I'm a police officer and you're
under arrest" The amazed bandit
lowered the gun, and Shea at once
covered him with his gun. The
three robbers we're arrested and q
huge amount of currency, which
they were in the process of split
ting up" was recovered.

In the four months that have

persons have been arrested and

No one paid much attention to the

momentum the citizenry became
aroused. The Chamber Of Com
merce. alarmed by protests, appealed
to city officials to be more discreet.
Appeals Of No Avail
The drive flouriShed in the face
of this opposition. The Chamber
of Commerce appealed to the coun-
~ attorney, the state highway COM
mission. and even the citizens. Bert
Darnell, Custer County attorney,
filed some technical charges, but the
safety campaign went on.
We're beginning to get some real
results" said Harrie Morrison. po-
lice Judge. "Weatherford is becom-
ing a model city of safe driving"
Ben Smith. chief of police. and
Bruce Rainey, constable, also are
convinced OF the wisdom of the
movement. Recently they hid at OPP
posite ends OF Main street and
watched motorists. They reported
that In three hours of observation

Police records show that an av-
erage of $50 persons have been ar

with the Chamber OF Commerce
