June 30, 1928 WINNETKA TALK » 13 The Voter's Column By Hoyt King The citizens' private prosecutors be- fore the special grand jury need not hire and pay for their own police. That saves some money. "Plans to retain John Stege, former deputy chief of detectives, were tempor- arily abandoned by Mr. Loesch last night upon the promise of Commissioner Hughes to give the police department's full co- operation to the inquiry." Mr. Hughes had decided to with- draw the support of the police depart- ment, but changed his mind. He was cited to appear before the special grand jury, did appear, and when they got through with him he promised 100% co-operation. Like State's Attorney Crowe, who thought Senator Deneen and Judge Swanson bombed themselves, Mr. Hughes makes mistakes. Perhaps he believes that Samuel Epstein hit him- self to provoke sympathy. A Chicago editorial, however, says: "The slugging of Mr. Epstein, an at- torney assisting Mr. Loesch in the elec- tion fraud cases, the attempts to in- timidate or to murder James Huff, one of the witnesses of the murder of Octavius Granady, shows the underworld in opera- tion." Mr. Hughes comes back with this theory: '" 'Chicago's police force will measure up to the best in the world.' He stated he did not believe that Samuel Epstein, messenger for the special grand jury, had been slugged at all, as was re- ported, and he branded as propaganda also the reports that five armed gangsters sought to kidnap James Huff." 'While Mr. Hughes is back of "the best in the world" this is what is hap- pening: The following Eller henchmen, in- dicted by the special grand jury for perjury, kidnapping or assault to mur- der political workers, retain their free- dom: Patrolman Hartigan, charged with perjury, walks beat; Morris Bromstein, kidnapping and assault to- murder, is in As- sessor's office; Harry Hochstein, kidnapping, around town but not arrested yet; Sammy Kaplan, assault to mur- der, is believed to have skipped; Sam Bardin, slipped through police; Eddy Bromstein, kidnapping poll worker, once with Sanitary Dis- trict; Joe Breclav, violence at the polls, is school janitor. So Commissioner Hughes will have opportunity to demonstrate what his "100% co-operation" means by send- ing a policeman out to bring in these men at once.
