HARMONICA KID 1§ THRILLED BY OWN MUSIC S0 Swept Away, He Says Misde- moanor Occurred While In & Daze Mtlwaukee, Wis., Oct. 9. (UP) — Strains of “The Unfinished Bym- phony” sounded at central police station, died away and were im- mediately followed by the liting melody of “Muddy Waters.” Then Chester Lock, the Harmon- fca Kid, lowered his instrument, brushed his mouth with the back of one grimy hand and grinned in acknowledgment of jailmates’ wild appluse, Chester was in his element. Mu- sic, it meems, hath charms to soothe the Kid — especially 1if he makes it himself on his own be- loved harmonica. The instrument is wheezy, but its music is not. It is seductive, allur- ing, hypnotic. The Kid goes about frequently, dased by his haunting tunes, That, he explained between num- bers is why he rented an automwo- bile, drove it to Ashland, Wis,, and abandoned .it. He had . his monica and he didn’t give a whoop. ‘The Kid cared ,even less when letectives went to Davenport and NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, brought Chester back with ki He's been in jall before.

Make Presestmont The grand jury made this declara. tion in & presentment to Judge Ed- win O. Lewis in which two mere po. lice captains, James Cross and John Freeman, were cited as ‘“unfit to hold any municipal effice. Their immediate removal was recommend- ed, Harry C. Davis, director of public saefty, a few hours later suspended the two officials, who were reveuled in the presentment as the two previ- ously named captains who declined to discuss their wealth “on advice of counsel,” standing on their con- stitutional right pot to give evidence that might incriminate them. Mayor Mackey declared that police captains or other policemen who retused to answer questions before the grand Jury were not cooperating with the administration “in its purpose to aid the district attorney” in the investi. gation, Suspend Them Too “There are rumors,” added the mayor, “that other captains and po- licemen are mentioned before the grand jury. I will say that if the grand jury will send us their names they will be suspended too." While the special grand jury was making its presentment, the second since the inquiry was started on August 20, Willlam C. Knoell, sus. pended captain of police, and John W. Bells, one of his former detec- tives, were pleading gullty before Judge J, H. Gordon to charges of extortion, bribery and conspiracy, growing out of the investigation.
