Lionel S. Partegas does clerical
work. He was casually walking
along a downtown street the other
night when he glanced into a cafe.
1t was fairly crowded, but one mans
countenance registered.
Mr. Partegas stepped into the res
taurant and made telephone call.
The man, who had so interested
Mr.. Partegas. was just finishing his
meal when two men walked in.
Mr.. Partegas gestured slightly in the
direction Of the diner. And the two
men leaned over the table.
Come along" said one.
mo, don't move" the other ad-
vised.
The man didn't. He knew they
had him. He was wanted on an
embezzlement charge in a distant
State. And he's back there now,
awaiting trial
You see, Mr.. Partegas was on
duty when he seemed to be loiter-
ing about the streets. He's an aux
iliary policeman attached to the
Identification division of the De-
tective Bureau at police headquar-
tiers. He had seen picture of the
fugitive and had the mans fea-
lures so we'll in mind that he recog-
nized him instantly.
60 AuxiliarieS Chosen,
Mr.. Partegas is one of approx
mately so picked auxiliaries who
are assigned to the Detective Bu-
reau. some of them perhaps full
filling boyhood ambitions, revived
now and then by mystery stories,
to try their skill as detectives.
The volunteer sleuths. unpaid,
putting in plenty of after-work
hours at the dangerous Job of
searching out criminals. are teamed
with regular detective sergeants
The sergeants pick their own aux
iliaries, men they know are adapt
ed to the work. Some of these
crack auxiliaries are lawyers Others
have various occupations. including
few who have been Investigators
of one sort or another.
The captain of the auxiliary de-
tective force is r. Harry Kearney,
who is agent for an automobile
manufacturer. The lieutenant and
executive officer is Wilfred D. Seal,
chief clerk of a division in the War
Department.
Several of the volunteer detectives
are colored. One day Auxiliary De-
tective Sergt. Andrew T. Richard
son, colored, was walking with two
regular detective sergeants. The
trio of ofi1cers ran into yoke"
job. This, in police parlance, is
a strong arm trick, with the assail.
ant grabbing his victim from be-
hind and holding an arm around
his neck while an accomphce goes
through bis pockets. s..i
" .~Three "Yokers" Caught.
stTfiere were three yoke" men on
this occasion. The regular sergeants
grabbed two of them. The third
ran. Mr.. Richardson. who was
track star at school. sprinted after
the fugitive and caught him. And
the three ''yokers' we're locked up
It's not surprising that Inspector
Richard H. Mansfield. assistant su-'
perintendent in charge of the De-
tective Bureau. and Capt Robert J..
Barrett, second in command. are
proud of their citizen aides.
The auxiliaries do all the work OF
regular detectives. They go out on
homicides, robberies, safe crackingS;
