The Voters' Columr by Hoyt King The June Special Grand Jury found an alliance between crime and politics and that criminals are nominated to office. In the last batch of indictments, some being additional charges against those previously indicted, it reported: Three of Commissioner Hughes' "best in the world" for witnessing without their interference as police, the beating up and kidnapping of workers opposing the can- didates of State's Attorney Crowe. Samuel Kaplan, leader of Eller forces, charge assault to murder. When this thug was ordered brought in, Police Com- missioner Hughes said, "What do you want to do? Clout him? I won't have him beaten up." Peter Pacelli, brother of a state reo- resentative, a policeman on State's At- torney Crowe's staff, charge kidnapping. Harry Hochstein, an Eller follower, charge assault. kidnapping and murder. Previously indicted were Sam Bar- din, bailiff of the Municipal Court, and Martin and Abe Klass, nephews of Morris Eller, and cousins of Judge Eller. Morris Eller is nominated for Sani- tary Trustee by State's Attorney Crowe's following. * % ok * When the special prosecutors had to hire and pay Captain John Stege to bring in criminals indicted, they found an alliance among State's Attorney Crowe's official friends to deny Cap- tain Stege authority to make arrests or carry a gun. Police Commissioner Hughes, who is related to State's At- torney Crowe, couldn't give it to a man convicted of a crime 31 years ago. Municipal Bailiff Bernard Snow, a follower of State's Attorney Crowe, couldn't give it. He says: "I have not taken into consideration the police record of the man I am asked to ap- point, but am basing my refusal solely upon the fact that I have no legal authority to appoint any man for any such purpose." Sheriff Graydon, whose appointment was forced by State's Attorney Crowe over claims of Leonard Brundage, also refused. * kx k XX These disclosures have not yet en- lightened the judges as to the integrity of the State's Attorney. Answering charges against Judges Eller, Klar- kowsky and Kerner for waiving peni- tentiary offenses and giving jail sen- tences or paroles to criminals, the majority of the judges of the Circuit and Superior court made a finding smothered in an avalanche of 117 Dg at il fd yy iy ak rast Whether chosen for private or nook -- Blasius awnings are residence, club pavillion, hotel today preferred by those who or business establishment; want material of unique beauty whether used for decoration or and rugged durability. walters is, seeording in the history. of stantially wholly with the State's At- protection on porches, balconies forney." They further decided that the de- cline of felony waivers, since the Crime Commission's charges, "is ow- ing solely to the fact that the State's Attorney is not now 'asking' for them," and add: "Nothing of what we have said is meant to give the impression that a court should not, when its suspicion is aroused 0 LD , l.

Judge Swanson promises if elected State's Attorney that the regular grand jury, the 30 policemen in the State's Attorney's office, and his paid assistants will re- lieve the people from the burden of fighting crime by private subscription. 26 Prouty Annex - - 1578 MAPLE AVENUE (GREENLEAF 2822 Saige"
