THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1920 POLITICS IN CRIME ASSAILED BY HOYNE State's Attorney Tells Club Crime Will Be Rampant Until Courts; Police and Press Co-operate in Joint Drive State's Attorney Maclay Hoyne. in his address Sunday before the Wil- lr.ette Sunday Evening club, denounc- ed, in emphatic terms, the circum-. stances which create and back up the law-defying criminal system of Chicago. He divided the responsib- ility for the crime situatkm between : The system of "spoils politics," A grafting police department. The press with its police, reporters living at the expense of defendants' counsel and misinterpreting the facts of criminal cases. "There will never be a check on crime in Chicago until we have the full co-operation of the courts, the police and the press." he declared. Mr. Hoyne termed the acquittal of Gene Geary, alleged murderer, a mis- carriage of justice, which will never cease until we get juries whose ears are not trained to the jingle of the dollars." With reference to the crookedness of the police department he said: "The people of Chicago and its suburbs have no conception of the debauchery in the police department. The only politics which they know is, "Get the money." The rank and fde are all rightâ€"we must get the "higher tips" before there can be any check- on this rotten condition. With a few exceptions, there isn't an honest police captain on the force. I know it, the chief knows it, and Mayor y/s////////s/s/////////y/s/v'/s////"""""'//s/s//!f/t Dr." Charles E.

Right now there are sev- eral men on the Detective Bureau v.'hom we know are crooks. We had a complete case against them but their "pull" was too strong. The police today in Chicago can do anything and get away with it. The chief of police can't "clean up." Half of the city would be robbed and the other half would be dead before he started and then he wouldn't hold his posi- ti-on very long. The only' one who can make Chicagd crime-free is the mayor. From his past policies of declining to interfere, a clean Chica- go is a matter of conjecture. Mr. Hoyne declared the average police reporter had more influence in the political and criminal life of the city than the managing editor of the paper. He added it was this situa- tion of how the crooked police and crooks effect the release of a brother gangster was described by the state's attorney. "While California was searching for a notorious Dr. Russell, he was located by a sheriff at Ottawa, 111. The sheriff prepared to turn him over to the California authorities adn re- ceive a $100 reward. A Chicago officer Walter O'Brien, obtained a warrant for Dr. Russell on a minor charge and asked the sheriff to place the man in his custody in preference to the Cali- fornia officials. The sheriff hesitated because he wanted the reward. O'Brien gave him the $100, brought Dr. Russell to Chicago, and let him go. And that's the kind of thing that must be overcome. Crime is a busi- ness organized to make money and it must be fought from start to finish." Get a Maid For 30 Centsâ€"Page 7 OOE 30E30E 30E3g I BOND BROS. OfA ELECTRIC IX tU.
