POLICE DEPT SAYS CRIMINALS ARE SCARED TO DEATH
Professional criminals are becoming terror stricken at the efficient and rapid manner in which the Chicago police department captures criminals. At least a forecast by the police department of its annual report backs up this presumption. Crime has gone done 19.1 per cent the last year. Burglars, robbers, and the crooks who commit "larcenies and other crimes" are fleeing the city according to the police. This city is getting to he a most perilously dangerous place for criminals according to the police. And this very year in which the police official statistics show crime rate going down is the year in which the chief of police is indicted by a grand jury and is to be tried for crime himself.
