SEX OFFENDER ELUDES 6 CITY LAW AGENCIES

Goes Free, Leaves Town

While the Enforcement Machinery Creaks.

By KENNETH HUFFORD For a year up to the night of Sept. 17 the police department had been diligently searching for a sex offender who molested school children, For lack of a name, they called him “Big Nose,” a fellow who wore steel-rimmed glasses. His favorite form of molesting was to appear in the nude before his victims. On the night of Sept. 17, during the height of the chase for the mulderer of Riley Hospital Nurse

Alberta Green, they got their man.

Routed by Screams In part, the police report said: “Miss - - = of = = « N. Illinois st. said she was walking in the 3600 block on Kenwood ave. when she saw a nude man standing in a yard, midway in the block. He saw her and started toward her. She screamed and he ran back into the yard.” While cruising in the vicinity, Officers Burton and Phillips arrested their suspect on a charge of vagrancy. They requested that a high bond be set to keep him in custody. y But today, “Big Nose” is free, Instead of being in a hospital, in a cell or legally acquitted of the charges placed against him, From the Records

Here's the story from the records on what happened. He was sent to City hospital for a mental examination. The : was continued until Sept. 27. However, the psychiatric report at City hospital was finished Sept. 25 and the defendant returned to city jail. He was found to be sane. He was taken to municipal court 3 for a hearing. Inasmuch as he was found fo be

sane, he was released on the mental

examination affidavit.

CHICAGO, Oct. 9 (U. P), — Michael “Hinky-Dink” Kenna, once one of Chicago's most colorful and powerful political figures, died today in his suite at the Blackstone hotel.
