High Percentage Of Convictions

Thieves Caught!

TUESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1Y48. T^ABBAr.K pkomotfo

and

INTiIANAPQMS, Ind., Ian 6 i IN’S l Col. Robert Rossow,

superintendent of the Indiana State Police, said today that

state policemen now are

ing convictions of !>? per cent of the persons they arrest for

drunken driving.

A few years ago the percentage was only 83, and the improvement is due largely to the chemical intoxication schools held by the state police at the Indiana University Sehool of Medicine in Indianapolis, accord-

ing to Col. Rossow.

At the schools, usually held in A.'igu.s w picked state officers study the mechanics of the vari'Us tests, including blood, breath, urine and body fluids.

They also are taught the physiology of alcohol and just what happens when alcohol en-

ters the body.

QUINCY. 111., Jan 6—(UP) — Police today arrested two men, believed to be members of a gang which entered a jeweler's

obtain- h 01 ™ al gtinp° int ' terrorized his

family, and forced him to accompany them to his store to

open the vault.

The gang obtained several thc.'J.sands of dollars worth of

jewelry and gems.

The two men were identified as Frank Febote and John Volk, both of Peoria, 111. They were arrested after a statewide alarm was sounde-i for the men who robbed Jeweler R M. Hurdle. They were captured at Rushville, 111., by state police who had rhased them for several miles. In their car, police found *328 in cash, a lady's wris. watch, 2f* men's and women's rings, and a quantity ot diamonds in a b ather sack.

This law specifies that if a ! suspect's test shows presence ol | alcohol of five-hundreds of one per cent in the body, or less, the subject is not intoxicated. Under ihis interpretation, a person ran drink two bottles of beer, or have two ordinary-size drinks of whisky and not he drunk legally. However, he must not have both two bottles of beer and two drinks of whiskey. The law, on t;i« other hand, says that a person, who, according ko tests, has more than fifteen-hundredths of one per cent of alcohol in his body, is prima facie guilty intoxica-

tion.

It is up to the courts to rule on drunkenness between the five-hundredths and fifteen--hundredths of one per ceni, and this ju igment is influenced by other evidence, including physical condition, symptoms, etc.
