Rouse of the eleventh precinct $50 to defray the expenses of the bond executed for his release fol- lowing his killing of a rum-running suspect who used a smoke screen in an attempt to escape arrest. In a letter accompanying the -gift Ciinton N. Howard, chairman of the committee and speaking for the com- mittee, said the ly “wishes to con- gratulate you on the action of the grand jury in exonerating and com- mending you for your act of heroism in apprehending smoke-screen rum- runners at _the risk of your own life.
