Lagarenne of the Fourth Branch Bureau, the man who was most closely connected with the unavailing search for Ruth Cruger im- rqadlu.tely after ' her '~disappearance Feb. 18 last, -will probably face a po- Jice' trial within a few days on the charge of gross negligence growing out of his work on the assignment. . Leonard M. Wallstein, - the Com- | missioner of Accounts who % inves- tlating the ‘Police Department’'s work in the Cruger matter, wrote a letter to Police Commissioner Woods last night requesting that Lagarenne be called beforé’the department tribunal. It is understood that -Commissioner ‘Wods is ready and eager to follow the suggestion. Commissioner Wallstein -wrote his letter immediately. after he had -con- News Fr : :bea e e ] 3 ireless Cook Stove | COOKS WHILE YOU Sleep _ Entertain " Read cluded an éxamination of 'Lagarenne |, which ‘lasted .several hours and which brought out ° unqualified admissions from the detective that he had neg- lected or overlooked many tings whith :should have occurred to the m mentary sort of a sleuth.. For instance, Lagarenne _ admgitted he had stood directly over Ruth Cru- gor's body (buried as it was in a hole beneath a heavy work-bench in the cellar of Alfredo Cocchi, her mur- derer, and did not n‘:cn think of tak- JAng the step . that uld have re- wvealed it. That is, he made no. at- tempt to have the work-bench moved astde. ‘“There was no evidence of & crime; we had no right to ask that the bench be moved,” was his excuse. He admitted he had no grest amount . of suspicion against' Coochi. This was for several reasons. One wes that he (Iagarenne)-had made | up his mind that Ruth Cruger ' had | gone away voluntarily. Another was { that several persons told him—in the main they were motorcycle police- men—that Cocchi was a “nice quiet chap,” a “perfectly reputable business man.*” Legarenne admitted, things: His search of the Cocchi cellar was not thorough. : He disregarded the information ,given -him by Helen Cruger, Ruth's elder sister, that during most of the day following Ruth’s disappearan at Cocchi's gshop the:-shop was close and locked. That circumstances made no impression upon him. He felt sure that an :unidentified gir! who got into a taxicab with an unidentified man, near Cocchi’s place, was Ruth Cruger, because ‘it was a, C coincidence if there' should the. de- also, these be two girls. around there . at soription.” - Lagarenne, under the grilling of Commissioner Walistein, was a piti- able object before the end of the session. He was obliged to confess that his mind “worked ina circle”— that it would have been necessary for him to find a body before decidiag '| that a orime had been committed, and ., Window and th Boxes. Our fine and lbng experi- » insure satisfactory yet that he would have to know a crime had been committed before he ‘Wwould start searching for a body. His constantly repeated explana- tion was: “There was no suspicion of & crime; no suspicion against Cocchi; the girl might have come back.” Dxamination of members of the po- Nce department was continued today by Commissioner Wallstein. Commissioner Wallstein said that 20 detectives and higher officlals ; of the police department had been called to tell all they knew of the efforts made by the police to find the young ‘woman. . Following his recommenda- tion last night that Lagarenne, be placed on trial for dereliction of duty, the commissioner sald that ‘‘unless other detectives and police officials ‘can' afford & better explanation of their, parts in the search for Ruth Cruger than Langaverinie I shall be forced to talte stmilar action in each and every ocase.” WORLD OF GIRLIES IN KEENEY LEADER Pretty young ladies with singing and dancing sability, are numerous in the new mustcal comedy serving as she headliner at Keeney's this week.
