~10 Tom Oriani Learns Menkind Driving Police Van Five Years -y wrg— guist and F ilm Censor. Has Had Only One Effort to Escape From Bus. Day after day. Thomas Oriani of 235 2d street can be found in com- pany with criminals of all descrip-| and murderers, and wite-beaters, petty | thieves iighwaymen. He is a wuiet man, and rarely talks volubly. But if environment leaves an indel- tble stamp on the character of men, as psycholo point out, and if ociations determine the ultimate tination of one who chooses evil assoclates—an observer must shud- der to think what is to be the fate of Oriani He is not tall. His eves have a pecullar twinkling light in ‘ them. His mouth holds tender lines and those telliale wrinkles about the corners of ‘he eyes bespeak the good nature of the man. But the fact remains—more than any single individual man he has traveled the route from some pre- cinet or another to the Police Court where preliminary hearings in crime are held. During recent - vears he lias adorned the black marfa, as the prisoners’ van is called, with amazing regularity. In Charge of Van. # This doesn’t mean that Tom Oriani is an uninvited guest in the black marfa. Far from it. He is there be- cause it Is his job to be there. A member of the police department, he has been assigned to this work for the past five years. He is in charge of the van. During the past two vears and two months he has hauled 17,128 LAW SCHOOL CLUB HAS BEACH OUTING National University Masons Pass Day at Indian Head, Md. Scores of members of the National University Masonic Club attended the picnic yesterday afternoon at Indian Head, Md. The affair was arranged by President Detwiler in connection with the Euclid Masonic Club of In-'§ dian Head. The program included a barbeque, crab feast, music, dancing and a base ball game. Lacey Mc- Laughlin, H. M. Goldstein and Paul B. Elcan composed the committee on ar- rangements. Ralph L. Chambers has returned | 1 and Officer | unhappy offenders to court. He has never had to draw his gun or black- jack while in ¢l f the black mari 6 o'clo the fourth precinct. | where the van is kept, he follows it { around the precincts until all pris- | oners have been disposed of, He ac- { {counts for the lack of trouble with handling prisoners by the manner in | Which he treats them. | Wixe in Humanity. “l don't believe in shouting at or | bullying a man because he s unfortu- nate enough to have to go to court in jthe van, or because I am a police- | man,” he declared, explaining that |only’one man in the 17,128 that he has hauled attempted to escape. Possibly {it's the wisdom bred of thirty-six years as a bluecoat that enables Tom | to handle the men so easily. | “The van itself is a modern one. It {has two compartments, so that wom- {an and man prisoners may be sep- |urated. It visits the fourth, sixth and first ncts most often for prison- {ers, rding to Orlani. | Oriani, however, has other tasks. | Occasionally he is called upon in gov- ernment departments to act as inter- | preter for Italians. He was born here | of Ttalian parents, and is a member lof the Association of Oldest Inhabi- | tants, bu s recognized as an ex- | pert linguist in the Italian tongue. | And, to top all this off, Tom is a | movie censor for the police depart- ment in a certain section of the city. | This is one of his assignments. Assisting Tom on the van is what |he terms_a “cracker-jack chauffeur,” Willlam Lucas, a colored member of the police force. Since the black | maria_has beén motorized there has not been an accident, Tom points out, and credit is given to'Lucas for care- | fa driving. .
