Policemen Ogden, Leach and Carris said they were sent to Irby's roonf Wed- nesday after he had telephoned for pro- tection. ‘They said six members of the State Identification Bureau entered and one searched Irby's luggage, while Irby told him that “he wouldn't find what he wanted, as it wasn't there.” Then, the officers asserted, Irby and Terrell were take. from the hotel. Five of the six members of the State Identification Bureau named by the po- lice as taking Irby from the hotel were reported out of Shreveport last night and the sixth said he had no comment to make.
