New York, April 9-Interview With
Park Policeman:
@. If I were detective story writer
looking for a place to set a murder,
I'd pick this gloomy place-maybe
that clump of bushes yonder in the
dark. Is there much crime in the
park?
A. About the same as elsewhere but
most of it happens in automobiles
driving through. When we find body
it has usually been tossed out of a
car.
@. What kind of cases do you have
most frequently?
A. Spooners. Once in a while some
body telephones in and says a couple
of suspicious characters are lettering
under the trees. I investigate and get
some fellow and his girl friend hold
ing hands.
@. But surely this is the most SIMS
ter spot on Manhattan island at night
if you leave out the waterfront and
certain districts west of Hell's Kit
chen. There are so few people around
This should be an ideal place for
crime. Please don't disillusion me-
A. Say, listen! People don't go a.
round committing crimes by themsel-
YES They have to have a victim, and
they'd have to lure the victim into a
deserted stretch of the park That
wouldn't be so easy. And robbery?
There's less chance of being caught
if the stickup is pulled on Broadway
We have cops all around this park
We could bottle anybody up in it
pronto.
O. What was your biggest case as
a cop on park duty?
A. Well, once they found a girl
knocked in the head about two hun
bred yards up the hill over there
Every cop in the park and all over
was on the lob.
O. Did you catch the murderer?
A. Nav. Along about a. m. of that
night guy comes up to me and says,
"I confess. 1 done it," But when
took him into the stationhouse, it
turns out he had grabbed a lady's
pocketbook and seen all the cops and
commotion and though we was look
ing for him. He figured he couldn't
get out, with so many cops, and he
had hidden behind a rock and heard
one of the policemen say, eff he runs,
let him have it," Boy, was 1 sore at
that guy! thought 1 had citation
in the bag.
@. Did they ever catch the real MUIR
derer
A. Oh, sure.
O. Well the park police must be
on their toes.
A. Tell you the truth, they caught
him in Cincinnati a month later.
@. Do you like being park police
man?
A. Oh, sure It's nice work. The wife
likes me on park duty, too. She wasn't
so happy when I was stationed on
that East Side beat with the job of
keeping an eye on the saloons.
