/ ~ December 31, 1927 WINNETKA TALK DOES JAIL "STRETCH"; GIVEN LIFE SENTENCE Policeman Carl Bishop Bribes Way Out of Winnetka Cell to Meet Wedding Engagement Patrolman Carl Bishop, of the Win- netka police department, who in the course of his official duties is accus- tomed to "looking through the bars," but from the outside in, had the tables turned on him last Wednesday, by the entire committee of practical jokers at the Village hall. For three-quarters of an hour Bishop was held a prisoner, for ransom, and as he peered through the bars from the inside out, begged, then pleaded and finally paid the required ransom for his release. Wednesday was Bishop's wedding day. The nuptial hour was 4 o'clock p. m. At 2:30, he was flying around the of- fice getting ready to leave for the im- portant event. Eugene Schubert, former motor- cycle policeman of the department, now engaged in the battery business in Hubard Woods, dropped in to pay the bunch a friendly visit and to extend congratulations to the prospective groom. Schubert expressed a desire to see a prisoner who had been arrested at Hubard Woods and Chief W. M. Pe- terson suggested Bishop take his old friend Schubert down to the cell room. They were followed by a turnkey, and the moment Schubert and the soon-to-he groom were once inside the jail portals, the key was turned hold- ing them prisoners. Schubert was one of the conspirators and Bishop soon "tumbled." Now enters Motorcycle policeman Charles M. Bemus, innocent "Sparky," who was appointed judge, jury and go- between. "Five bucks," was the amount fixed by "Sparky" for Bishop's release. At 3 o'clock negotiations were still in progress when a check was tendered by Bishop. "Too late," replied "Sparky." The bank is closed. We want 'five bucks' in cash, and if you give us too much back talk, we'll make it eight." Groom Capitulates Fifteen minutes later Bishop handed over a crisp new five dollar bill, for the pleasure of hearing the big key open the lock which had detained him. And as he rushed out the door to keep his appointment with Dan Cupid, he was followed by a shower of old shoes and rice and a still greater quan- tity of good wishes from everyone at the Village hall. Patrolman Bishop and Miss Mary Elizabeth Noble, of 1010 Oak street, were married at Sacred Heart church, Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
