POLICE Of CHICAGO
HELD CRIME AIDES
Prosecutor Makes Charqe
in First Statement on
Handbook Raids.
Ey the Associated Press.

Fy the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Sept. "A charge by
States Attorney Thomas J. Courtney
that powerful underworld syndicate
enjoyed aid from the city police in
controlling organized gambling fur
nlshed a startling development today
In the prosecutors campaign against
handbooks.
Mr.. Courtney's charge was his first
public statement since he opened his
drive to demolish handbooks II days
ago. 1t came after his ak SQUADS
destroyed six handbook division head
quarters yesterday, bringing to SO the
number of gambling establishments
raided to date.
The prosecutor declared the syn
dicate used strong arm methods to
force tribute from all independent
handbook operators in the metro
politan area.
IT threats against the independent
operator failed, Mr. Courtney said
the syndicate would seek aid from
the police. The prosecutor charged
the police would harass the inde-
pendents until they were forced out
OF business or became part of the
syndicate's chain.
Mr.. Courtney said the syndicate
eXacts SO per cent of the profits, plus
monthly tribute ranging from SIS
to $3.50 which goes for tine fix"
If the independent balks at the
syndicate's terms, the prosecutor added,
the bookie discovers next that 1t is
difficult to get proper racing service
over his special wires He is plagued
by an epidemic of arrests. If he still
insists on running as before, he is
beaten up"
After the operator joins the syn
dicate, Courtney said "he gets arrested
once in while, but he is warned of
it ahead of time. When he goes TO
court a lawyer and a bondsman are
at his service"

leaped to conclusion. She screamed
and plunged into Wally, who was just
arriving. Wally took in the situation
at glance, told Mae to call a doctor
and the police, and made. a leap at
Sam.
Don't wake him suddenly" Mae
shrieked. He'll kill you!"
So Wally circled warily and began
saying in a honeyed tone: Take it
easy. Sam, old man. Put down the
knife now" Sam was about to try
explaining, when he noticed that
Wally was looking over his shoulder.
He whirled in time to avoid being at

who had sneaked up, grasped the cir
cumstances and decided that tempo
rarily putting Sam out of commission
would prevent further immediate kill
ings.
GAM lodged and fed. He didn't In
tend to be manhandled without
being given a chance to explain. He
streaked through the living room,
meeting two females and a man en-
route. The females tainted and the
man picked up lamp threateningly.
Sam bounded up the stairs. He had
the good sense not to return to his
bedroom. where he could readily be
discovered
Instead. he entered a storeroom at
the end of the hall and sat down on
some blankets to collect his senses and
plan his next move. His next move, he
decided, would be to sit still until
matters downstairs had Strengthened
themselves out.
This was rapidly being accomplished.
Marcia moaned and returned to con-
sciousness and explained that Sam
hadn't attacked her, but was going TO-
The other two females also recovered
their senses Just then the doctor and
policeman arrived and Wally, who had
been doing some thinking, advised
them that they were not needed, as
man who had been thought asleep
wasn't.
The law and the M. D. finally de-
parted. Then every one began a hunt
for Sam, but they couldn't find him.
The reason was he had dropped off to
sleep in the storeroom. He hadn't been
alseep very long before the tomatoes
began to work and he rose up, opened
the door and stepped into the hall, Just
as Wally was passing.
Wally roared with delight at the mis-
take that had been made and slapped
Sam heartily on the back. Such a
shock is bad for any sleepwalker. Sam
became violent. He poked Wally on
the jaw and Wally went out like
light. Others came running, just as
Sam blinked to wakefulness and
wanted to know what It was Ill about.

uation she might desire with the least
possible effort
"Bears?" Wally Bradford laughed,
and all the others laughed with him.
Hardly. No, Marcia, I'm afraid the
most exciting thing that might hap
pen to disturb your slumber while
you're here will be Sam Muller's night
prowling He has the night horse.'
Nightmares? Oh, my goodness!"
Marcia stared mortified at Sam Muller,
who grinned and shifted in his chair
He had hoped Wally wouldn't mention
this quirk of his nature, but Wally
always spoke of it because a good
many amusing incidents had resulted
from his nocturnal roamings. II
hope you don't have one tonight, Sam,"
Marcia went on. I'm dreadfully afraid
of people who have nightmares. I
mean, they'de like drunken people or
crazy people. You can't tell what
they're going to do"
MY theory is" interposed Harvey
Smith, never to wake night walkers
suddenly. The shock sometimes makes
Chem violent.
Don't waken them at ALL" Bertha
Ross said seriously. Talk to them.
Try to pacify them. My sister used to
have Nightmares, and that was the
only way of keeping her quiet"
Other theories were advanced and
discussed. Finally Anne Bradford
suggested bed, and one by one the
guests retired. Sam Muller was the
last to 60. He disrobed, donned dress
ing gown and slippers and sat beside
his window smoking. Something had
occurred to him that he hadn't men,
toned to the others. Alice, his wife,
wasn't arriving until tomorrow, and
suppose he had nightmare when Alice
wasn't around? Alice knew how to
cope with his nocturnal rampages. If
she weren't here to prevent him, he
might get himself into trouble.
(AM lit fresh cigarette. The smart
thing to do was to remain awake
all night and take a nap tomorrow.
That would solve the problem, and no
one would get fright So he found a
book and sat down to read. An hour
passed. Two. Sam stirred. He rose.
He felt sleepy. The thing to do when
you feel sleepy is get something to
eat. Eating keeps you awake during
the process and afterward, too.
Sam quietly left his room and tip
toed to the kitchen. He opened the
big electric refrigerator there. His
eyes fell on some ripe tomatoes. To-
matoes were his weakness. He found
knife and began to slice a tomato.
He had eaten half of it when he heard
noise. He whirled, and discovered

had told him so.
Now Old Mother Nature keeps q

she knew at once what had hap

With gentle touch she healed his
wounds. BY means of the fear of
being seen by another hunter she
kept him quiet in his hiding place
that his wounds might have a
chance to heal. BY taking away his
appetite she removed the chief cause
for desire to move about. So she
had a chance to heal the wounds
made by those cruel shots. Where
the skin had been torn she made
new skin grow.

lay too long without moving about
he would grow stiff. Besides, he
needed food then to give him
strength. OF course he suffered. No
one can be hurt as he was and not
suffer great deal. When he began
to move about he was at first very
stiff and sore, and every movement
hurt. But little by little this wore
off and he felt more and more like
his old self. You see no bones had
been broken by those cruel shots.

though he carried no terrible gun
and did his best to appear friendly.
Though he could not understand
why it should be, man was his en-
emy. And with this fear and dis
trust grew a wonderful cunning.
Never again would hunter be able
to surprise Lightfoot. He had

would never forget.
