'COLDS' SEASDN UN, AND PDLIGE CHIEF MOURNS How’s a Cop With Sneezer to Scent Out Booze Scents in Breezes. Cough drops and nasal sprays, may be ordered at accoutrements of city patrolmen and traffic officers by Police Chief Mike Morrissey. The need for the cold-breakers may be necessary if patrolmen hope to obtain convictions on charges cf drunkenness arid tfl-unken driving. An example was afforded today when John Shephard, R. R. 4, Box 114, faced charges of drunkenness, driving a car while intoxicated, reckless driving and disobeying a traffte signal in municipal court. Shephard was arrested Tuesday by traffic patrolman Arthur Schlangen at Pennsylvania and Maryland streets, after a one-block chase. Schlangen declared Shephard broke through his “stop” signal. Schlangen, sniflling from a heavs cold, attempted to smell Shephard's breath. He could smell nothing. Shephard was staggering as he climbed out of the auto, Schlangen said. So the traffic policeman abandoned his sense of smell as a detector of crime, and resorted to skillful questioning to obtain an admission from Shephard that he had been drinking. The street “third degree’’ worked. Shephard, according to Schlangen, admitted drinking. But now the traffic officer must make the judge believe It, and that’s why Chief Morrissey may add cough drops and sprays to the blackjacks carried by the force. Prisoners have a habit of repudiating purported confessions when they face judges, and the chief wants something to go on during this season of sinuses and sneezes. 8 GOING TO DEDICATION City.
