‘m_“ OLD CHARGES T0 FACE GANGSTERS Chicago May Revive Ancient (ases to Prosecute Chicago, Oct. 17 (A—The possi- | bility that numerous old charges | would be made over into new prose- cutions presented a threat to the| city’s lawless today. Digging from its files the cases against racketeers | never |, and hoodlums who were brought to trial, the Chicago crime commission turned them over to the state’s attorney along with plans to re-open by new indictments charges previously nolle prossed. After studying the records Assist- ant State's Attorney Harry Ditch- burne said he believed they could be | made the basis for successful prose- | cutions. The Chicago Herald and Examin- | e said that among the records turn- ed over to the state's attorney were scme dealing with the case of Wil- | liam McSwiggin, assistant state's at- torney who was slain in 1926. The | paper pointed out that the name of | A! Capone who is No. 1 on the crime commission’s “public enemies” list, has been mentioned in connection with_this case. Meanwhile the disappearance from the Chicago detective bureau of a list of gangsters scheduled for arrest as vagrants was the subject for a grand jury investigation today. Acting Police Commissioner John Alcock, Lieut. John Ryan and Ryan's secretary, William Balswick have been summoned to testify. Ryan was demoted as assistant, chief of detectives following the disap- pearance of the list. After vanishing from the detec- tive bureau the list was found in a federal rald, under the pillow of Tony Pagenti, reputed to be a fol- lower of Capone. Later it was lcarned that a new list had been is- sued and that some of the names on the original had been omitted. 0DD FELLOWS PLANS Mathewson Wins Setback Prize— District Meeting Night Coming— Vaudeville on Program David Mathewson was winner of first prize, an electric table lamp, at the setback tournament conduct- ed for members of Lexington lodge of 0dd Fellows in Odd Fellows' hall last, night.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1930. HONTANA TOWN'S POLICE ARRESTED Charge Fine System Virtual Licensing of Saloon Great Falls, Mont.,, Oct. 17 (®— Charges that the sale of liquor has been permitted here under a system whereby fines were levied regularly against offenders are contained in federal indictments returned here against six police officers. Those charged are Ray H. Gaunt, chief; Lieutenant Ernest Owings, B. T. McElliott, A. L. Anderson and Patrolmen Ray A. Wick and Emil Nelson. All issued statements declaring they welgomed the investigation. The true bills, returned by the grand jury yesterday, charge the officers entered into conspiracy with some 31 other persons also under indictment, to permit operation of resorts where liquor was sold. The | indictments alleged that the of- fenses extended over a period of two years. The government charges specify that a nuisance ordinance has been in effect 40 years providing for fines and closing of places found to be nuisances. The indictments alleged the fines were ordered regularly and paid, but that the liquor selling re- | sorts were not closed.
