CHS

Poea Police Chauffeur Oscar Bismi of 0ry pack a horscahoe ia- bis packatT That, at least is what his fellow offictff on the department charge and thoae who know of the nirow escapes he has had while a member of the force will admit that ha Is the luckiest mortal In the world. It waa driver Salxman, who having emptied tha chamber of hl gun Jumped out of tha police car and shoved the muzzle of his sun into th loma;h of Llddel Smith, nerro bandit and placed him under arrest after two dozen shots had been exchanged between the police and the three nerrd htgrhwaymen at 25th avenue and Clark road Monday afternoon. "Up with your hands," said Salsman, "or I'll fill you rtil of holes." The bandit shivered at the command and complied. Removing a loaded revolver from the negro's hip pocket, Salsmaa gave the pegro the laugh whan he showed him the empty chamber. This waa 8aiman's third lucky escape from death. It was only re. eently that a bullet from Salzman's trusty revolver felled a negro prowler In a night gun battle. Thinking he had morta.il- 'wounded his prisoner Salman walked up to him as the negro did not stir and was unaware that fca w even armed. As Salinian leaned over the prisoner the negro whipped out a revolver anf

levelled it at the officer's head. Then ; elicit and Instantaneous flash. The ballet had jammed In th barret of tha ama. Shortly after his debut on tb tore he bad another similar closa call. Wit the (flaying of Claraseo Smith, colored, notorious gunman and highway and the capture of his pal Uddell Smith by th Oary police department in a daylight gun battle at 25th avenue and Clark road in Oary Monday afternoon, in which the Hudson police car was riddled with ballet and the officers had a narrow escape with their Irves, Chief of Police Forbis of Gary expects to clear up a string of highway robberies, rape eases aod a murder. The death of one of the highwayman and tha capture of another follows on the heels of a gang of negro bandits terrorising the residents of the we it sida and on 4he outskirts of the city for the past mix months or more ty burglarilzng homes. Insulting and attacking white women, holding jp automabile drivers and occupant of their machines and in all probability responsible for on "stlckup" murder. The third gunman made his esoape Into the dense thicket. Today Chief of Police Forbis an!

lis staff are getting all the information obtainable on the captured gunin an Uddell Smith and it is the hope and certainty of the police that they will be abie to link him up with at lean one murder, a rape case, and other crimes that will send him to the electri chair. Tn custody of Cap'.ain Vodicka and Plainclothesrnaa Cain, Smith waa taken to Crown Point tor day where preliminary charges will be filed against him. Dozens of witnesses in highway robberies, a rape case on a 17 year old girl and the victims of other crimes have identified both the dead Sml'h and the prisoner Smith, resulting In the Gary police being able to clear up numerous cases. An effort will also be made today to identify either the dead bandit or the prisoner as one of the two bandits who shot and killed Myer Ruekln. well known Indiana Harbor young druggist in a highway holdup at West Oary last July. Ruskin was killed after he had stepped out of his machine and levelling a revolver at the smallest of the negro bandits killed him. Ruskln wa. accompanied by his fiance a Chicago girl who will be called upon to make the identification. The dead bandit was Identified yesterday as Clarence Smith, former Chicago negro. He was formerly employed in a Gary south aid cabaret as a floor walker or in other words it ( was his duty to oust any one who became too boistroue from the place. , The prisoner la said to have made his former noma at South Bend.
