we'd pull the job. Then,” Daley ground
his teeth, “he sicked Dave Maio on us so
we wouldn't renege.”

THe Law Wins

A month and a half later Frank Daley
and Dave Maio, unkempt and unshaven,
faced Supreme Court Justice Arthur
Tompkins and with angry sneers heard
themselves condemned to expiate the kill-
ing of Nicholl and Schumacher in the
electric chair. Marino, charged with man-
slaughter, was returned to Sing Sing to
do five years—a life sentence since drugs
and tuberculosis had undermined him to
an extent there was no chance of him
emerging alive.

But Ollie Cheesecake, the greatest
prospective prize, and his lieutenant,
Lippe, continued to evade police drag-
nets. Yet Carey and his henchmen didn’t
despair. Sometime Ollie would sneak
back to his old haunts. Two years after
Dave Maio and Daley died in the electric
chair the underworld grapevine brought
to Carey's office the inspiring message:
“Ollie Cheesecake’s back.”

Believing the case forgotten he’d
quietly and unostentatiously returned.

Just as quietly Donahue and Mattes
went on the prowl, snatched the protest-
ing “big shot” from his hideout and hailed
him before the Supreme Court. And there
the man who prided himself on having
planned endless “‘perfect crimes” was
condemned to end his days in Sing Sing.
As for Lippe. Word came from Italy,
the country of his birth, that he’d again
fallen foul of the law and landed in a
Salerno penitentiary. The “Murder on
the Trolley Car” was closed!

A MAN edged his way shyly to the
lingerie counter.

“Yes, sir?” said the assistant.

“I-I'd like to buy a brassiere for my
wife.”

“Certainly,” said the assistant, ‘what
bust 7” :

“Nothing,” said the man, “the darn
thing just wore out.”

COURTESY

FROM TIME to time complaints are made and heard of the
| conduct and attitude of police officers to the public that they
serve. Some complaints are substantiated. A number are trivial.
A number represent situations that, with a little exercise of
patience, could have been avoided. Justification for insolence
or curtness on the part of a policeman is without and beyond
reason. Policemen are enlisted in the service of the permanent
and transient public. Their obligation to the public is para-
mount. They should cultivate broadness of vision against
irritations that are of daily occurrence. The population of nearly
all large and even small cities is of a diversified character. There-
fore, it is but natural that people have varying customs. With
the countless professions, sciences, industries, trades, businesses
and occupations, added to old-world and foreign customs, the
public sets out daily afoot, by motor, or otherwise, to do a
particular job, to shop, or to reach a definite destination. A
good number of them come to policemen for assisting informa-
| tion. Most, if not all, of them some time or other do likewise.
Some of them make complaints.

| Furnish the information they seek cheerfully. If you cannot
| furnish it readily, explain where it can be secured. Listen
attentively to complaints. Get the point of view of the person
| making the complaint. If it is a wrong one, tell the person so
| ina civil manner and give reasons.

Be courteous. Be civil. Be polite. The civility of a police-
man makes an agreeable dinner story at home or abroad. It
increases his self-respect. Likewise it increases the people's
| respect for him. :

Little kindly acts performed by a policeman bring happiness
to others, and make him happy, too. ;
