Poineiana vigi|antes Arrest Wrong
Man AS Peeping Tom> Judge Rules
Esquinaldo Says
Fire Man Squad
"OUer-Ercifed"
liz False Arrest
BY SUSAN McAvoY

The over-enthusiasm of five vigi-
lantes in bringing a man to police
station picked up at 2:3o Saturday
morning near Poinciana school was
rebuked by City Judge Enrique
Esquinaldo yesterday in city court.
The Judge threw out the charges
OF trespassing on private property,
being vagrant and disorderly pro-
ceedings, to wit Peeping Tom, and
called it illegal arrest.
Arrested was Douglas Kersey,
houseguest of Mr.. and Mrs. Rich
ard E. Zimmerman, 1924 Harris
Avenue.
kersey was returning to the Zim-
merman's early Saturday morning
when five men in a Mercury car
stopped him and said:
Get in!"
Two men got out armed, he said
with pipes, monkey wrench and
something resembling a night
stick.
Kerssy figuring that the better
part Of valor is discretion did not
put up a fight he said:
Where are we going?"
For a ride" the men said.
kersey was relieved to find
that the ride ended at city police
station and not some deserted
stretch Of Keys wafer. He
thought they were sangsfers.
They did NOT ask him who he was
or what he was doing.
Upon reaching police headquar
ters Kersey was, he said, not asked
any question. He was placed in jai
on a charge of investigation. Sat
urday, leader of the vigilantes, q
Louis w. Raino signed warrant
charging Kersey with trespassine
on private property, being va
grant, disorderly proceedings to
wit Peeping Tom.
Saturday night, the Zimmermans
became alarmed at the "a hours
absence Of their houseguest. They
did check, calling the police sta
ton. Maggie Zimmerman asked
police If they had tall, quiet man
in jail by chance.
The police answered yes. Mr.,
and Mrs. Zimmerman Immediately
repaired to the city jail and tried
ing that would have been q legal
to bail out Kersey, but had to wait
till Sunday morning.
Bond was 500 on the charge. At
torney Hilary Albury was con
suited, and appeared in court yes
terday with his client.
Albury moved to dismiss the
case; on grounds of illegal arrest
Judge Esquinaldo upheld his
claim. He told The Citizen today:

Mr.. Truman seized the bills last

But the steel industry fought back

Mr.. Truman lacked such inherent

Dumping At Sea
Havana, Cuba, solves its gar

During the thirties, Key West had

Trouble with this method lies in
the fact that it is both expensive

|Staunton Chief Saws
Police Did All Possible
To Recapture Killer
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND. Va, June IA
Police Chief A. B. Gill of Staun-
ton says his department did all
it could to bring about the recap
ture of an escaped mental patient
who killed three persons in Lou
doun County last month.
The patient. Maurice Ray Fox,
80. escaped from Western State
Hospital May 10. The same day
hospital authorities obtained a
warrant for Fox's arrest and
turned it over to Staunton police
Chief Gill said yesterday his
department promptly sent a tele-
type message to all police depart
ments stating Fox had escaped
and noting he was from the Ster-
ling area of Lodoun County.
II feel we did all we could by
sending the message with his
name and the locality that he was
likely to go to-" Mr.. Gill said.
He added that his department
has no jurisdiction to make an
arrest elsewhere and the capture
OF an escaped patient is up to
enforcement authorities Of the
locality where the escapee is
located.
Mr.. Gill's comment was made in
response to a reporters questions
concerning a report of the State
Hospital Board placing blame on
hospital authorities and police,
as well as on the family of Fox,
for failure to return the man to
custody after his whereabouts be-
came known.
