Says Officer Robbed Him.

Scott Witt, a farmer from Pingree Grove, 111., made a charge to Captain Wheeler in Chicago that he had been robbed on a public street by a police officer in full uniform. Witt lost S4O and a gold watch. Witt told Justice Sabath that he went to Chicago to collect some bills from milk dealers. Early Sunday evening he sat down at Desplaines and Harrison streets and fell asleep. He was aroused by feeling somebody searching his pockets. He opened his eyes, he says, to find a uniformed police officer standing over him.
