of George W. O'Connor, Director of
the Training Division.
Captain John E. Hartnett, formerly
in charge of the Special Programs
Section of the Training Division, and
most recently assigned to the office of
the Chief of Patrol, was named as
District Commander of New City.
Captain Hartnett came on the force
on 12 November 1948, was promoted
to sergeant in September, 1960, and
made lieutenant in October, 1961. He
was promoted to captain on 15 June
1962.
Sergeant Robert McCann, previ­
ously in charge of the Extension Sec-
tion of Training Division, was ap­
pointed the new Director of Training
Division. He joined the Park District
force December, 1947 and got his
sergeant's stripes in September of
1960. He holds a Bachelor of Phil­
osophy Degree from Loyola Univer­
sity.
Both men had been among the
many candidates screened and inter­
viewed for these positions. Super­
intendent Wilson, in making the ap­
pointments, declared that he was
eminently satisfied with their quali­
fications and capabilities, and was
certain these two officers would fill
their respective positions effectively
and with distinction.

Dear Mr. O'Connell:
I see no reason to commute
the death sentence of James
Dukes.
Dukes was twice tried by a
jury of his peers, twice con­
victed and twice sentenced to
death.

Police work is in the blood, insists
Jim A. Ryan, D .D .A. #1. In three
generations of his family, there are
nine policemen!
His father was the late Lt. Michael
Ryan. His two uncles, Martin and
Patrick Sexton, brothers of his
mother, were also Chicago police­
men, and have also since passed
away. His brother is Lt. Martin Ryan
of the New City District, and his two
brothers-in-law are Sgt. Jack Wright
of Gresham, and Ptlmn. Joseph
Sheahan of Wabash Ave. In the
third generation, his daughter is mar­
ried to Ptlmn. Ray E. Calabrese of
the South Chicago district; and to
round out the story (so far), James
P ., Jr. , is now a new recruit.

When A Detail
Counts for a Lot?
It's no small responsibility handl­
ing the tremendous crowds that
gather in Chicago for athletic affairs,
conventions, rallies and trade shows.
More than half a mililon people at­
tended Billy Graham's Crusade this
summer at McCormick Place. A sim­
ilar number went there for the Inter­
national Trade Fair, and over one
hundred thousand recently crowded
into Comiskey Park for the weekend
Yankee Series. But Lt. Edward M.
Mowen, commanding officer of the
Detail Section of the Task Force, is
confident that these assignments· can
be handled without too much diffi­
culty by the men in his section-and
experience has shown that he is
right!
be a night game at Comiskey Park,
for example, the Detail will stake out
a territory from 31st to 39th Streets
and from State Street to Wallace
Avenue. For an event at the stadium,
it will cover an area from Ashland
to Damen Avenues and from Lake
Street to Jackson Boulevard.) They
then get on with the job.
The Detail Section is responsible
for every aspect of crowd control and
protection at ball games, other athle­
tic affairs and large events held at
Comiskey Park, Wrigley Field, the
Chicago Stadium, the Amphitheatre,
McCormick Place and, occasionally,
Navy Pier.
Traffic is not the only problem. At
any large event, scalpers, pick­
pockets, addicts and other criminals
are sure to join the crowds. The De­
tail Section is alert to prevent these
criminals from preying on the people.
In July 1962, 34 physical arrests were
made.
Because of their long experience,
the men of the Detail Section need
little advance instruction before an
event is to take place. However, very
detailed planning and coordination
is worked out before any particular
event. This is what makes the opera­
tion appear somewhat effortless.
Sometimes robbery - of a special
sort-is prevented. At the third Stan­
ley Cup Hockey Playoff, on 1 April,
at the Chicago Stadium, a loyal Mon­
treal Canadien fan decided that the
only way to get the coveted trophy
was to carry it off bodily. Kenneth
E. Killander, 25, of Montreal, picked
the lock of the glass display case and
removed the historic four-foot tro­
phy. He was stopped by Sgt. Jerry
Cortopassi of the Detail Section, and
arrested as he tried to fast-talk, then
Well in advance of an event, the
section takes charge of a large area
surrounding the site. (If there's to
Traffic is often the major problem.
Because the people using the streets
at such events are not commuters
traveling over familiar routes, a
great deal of traffic direction is
needed. A large number of intersec­
tions must be manned; and during
the peak periods, one-way traffic
must be set up.
fight his way through Gate 2.
Several miles of street parking also
have to be patrolled to prevent lar­
ceny and vandalism. If there's a car
with clothes or other valuables in
plain view, the owner is called over
the public address system and ad­
vised to put his valuables in the
trunk. If police are unable to con­
tact the owner, policemen will con­
tinue to keep an eye on the car.
On certain occasions, the Detail
Section has had to call upon the Task
Force Canine Section for help with
unruly crowds. The dogs proved es­
pecially useful at the Amphitheatre
last March after fights broke out be­
tween spectators following a high
school basketball game. Such occa­
sions, however, are not frequent.
Before the second All-Star game
was to be played at Wrigley Field, a
representative from the baseball
commissioner's office pointed out to
Lt. Mowen that 500 police officers
had been stationed at the first All­
Star game in Washington, D.C., and
that similar arrangements would
probably be required in Chicago.
After the Wrigley Field game was
over, the commissioner's representa­
tive was surprised to learn that our
Detail Section had easily handled the
capacity crowd with only 40 uni­
formed men and 8 plainclothesmen.
This is the calibre of the skilled,
experienced men that make up this
section of the Task Force.

The empty animal pens in the storkyards
stand oS mute witnesses to the departure
of many huge meat packing plants.
Back in 1905, the eastern portion
of the New City district, the Stock­
yards area, received worldwide no­
toriety with the publication of the
Upton Sinclair classic, "The Jungle."
Depicting the horrors of the stock­
yards and the misery of the immi­
grants who came to work in the meat
packing plants, the book not only
gave impetus to the passage of the
nation's first Pure Food and Drug
~-
Nelson, Captain Alfred T.; Smith,
Sgt. Howard E. Car Clo1~ting . Spring­
field, Illinois: Charles C Thomas,
1958. Pp. 156.
"Car clouting" is the term used
for the crime of theft from an auto­
mobile, which includes accessories
as well as contents. The authors,
both policemen, have had a great
Act, but made the name of the stock­
yards synonymous with the city of
Chicago.
Today, little remains to remind one
of that grim era. The meat packing
industry that remains in the area
bounded by Exchange, Racine, W .
47th St. and Halsted is just a skele­
ton of the Goliath that sprawled there
60 years ago . Most of the processing
deal of experience with this type of
theft and mildly poke fun at the cur­
rent police books published on the
subject. They wrote this book for
the line officer, the man on the beat.
Contradicting the common belief
that the "car clouter" is a malicious
teen-ager, they picture the typical
accessory thief as (as in actual cases)
a man living in a better suburb and
owner of a $20,000 home that is paid
for, as are all the furnishings. He
drives a Chrysler that is paid for,
plants have moved out, cut down
their operations, or gone out of busi­
ness. The homes in the district bear
little resemblance to the rat-infested
hovels of the early 1900's. Many of
them are old but substantial single
residences , two- and three-flats, occu­
pied by their owners, well-kept and
carefully maintained. In fact, the
single clear connection with that "hog
butcher" era that is evident in the
community remains in the national
composition of the population: Lithu­
anians, Czechs, Poles, Mexicans, Irish
and Italians, many of whom are fourth
generation descendents of the first
immigrants.
The district has many other more
important and creditable claims to
fame than the Stockyards saga. The
Bridgeport community, for example,
in the northeastern section of the
New City district, has been the neigh­
borhood out of which the great politi­
cal figures of Chicago have come.
Former mayors Edward Kelly and
Martin Kennelly came from there;
and Mayor Richard J. Daley has his
home at 35th and Lowe. Many pres­
ent political leaders of the city, county
and state either have their residences
here or spent their childhoods in the
community. The Back of the Yards
area also gave rise to many of the
well-known police names of the past:
Commissioners Prendergast, Bon­
field, and Allman; and Chiefs of De­
tectives Michael Grady and- "Iron" ­
Mike Hughes, among others .
The Ninth District, home site of
hasn't worked in over 15 years, and
nets a minimum of $20,000 annually,
entirely from the crime of theft from
a vehicle.
The authors describe how to pick
a "car clouter" out of many people
on a busy street. They detail his
actions and then list the actions the
officer can expect next. To the beat
patrolman, their descriptions are an
effective tool in aggressive patrol.

veillance are liberally used in the

Comiskey Park and the International
Amphitheater, also has a special geo­
graphical distinction claim to fame.
It has the shortest street in the city:
Hoey (1900 W), about % block long.
The district now stretches in a
rough triangle, bounded by the Rock
Island Railroad on the east, 55th St.­
Grand Trunk Railroad-51st St. on
the south, and the hypotenuse of the
Sanitary and Ship Canal running
northeast to the Rock Island. The
station house itself, at W. 47th and
Paulina, is very old and dilapidated,
having been built in 1899. Plans are
now being made to move the station
headquarters this fall. When the new
Captain James Hartnett, New District Commander headquarters for the First District
are completed at 1121 S. State, a
three-way headquarters shift will
take place. The First District will
move to its new quarters in the 11th
and State building; Traffic Area #1,
now housed in the former Deering
Station at 35th and Lowe, will take
over the present First District quar­
ters at 12th and State; and the New
City station will move into the former
Deering Station. (At this time, dis­
trict boundries will be somewhat ad­
justed.) The present 9th District sta­
tion house will then be abandoned
and presumably torn down.
Today, the district's personnel com­
plement includes a District Com­
mander, two captains, six lieutenants,
19 sergeants and 200 patrolmen. In
general, the district is a quiet one.
It ranks in the lower third with re­
spect to the crime rate, with auto
theft, minor assault and theft of auto
accessories (in that order) being the
most pressing police problems. How­
ever, the men in the station do recall
a number of spectacular crimes that
have occurred there. The most recent
was the hunt for and eventual cap­
ture of "Crazy Tony" Gonzales, killer
and "glamour boy" idol of the juven­
ile toughs of the neighborhood.
Even more colorful is the story
told about an armed assault of the
police station itself back in the late
40's. Two men had killed another at
44th and Ashland; and the police
captured one of the killers and
brought him into the station. While
he was being booked, his accomplice
burst into the station with a shotgun
and, holding the desk sergeant and
15 policemen at bay, attempted to
rescue his pal. Officer John Leahy,
returning to the station, saw what
was going on from the outside. Slip-

as soon as he fired, a couple of de­

Officer DuShane observed two suspi­
cious men entering a closed restau­
rant. Revolver drawn, he followed
them and ordered their surrender.
When both men attempted to escape
through a bathroom window, he
fired a warning shot. Officer Du­
Shane then ran outside and made

and several armed
robberies. While on patrol on 11
May at 0845 hours, Ptlmn. Anderson
noted a man whose description fitted
that of a known robber. He ques­
tioned the man and then arrested
him. The prisoner, identified by a
victim, admitted to three a~med rob­
beries. Ptlmn. Anderson also noted
that the man's description fitted that
of a man wanted for murder. Ledet
was identified at a show-up as the
murderer and later confessed. He
has since been indicted on one count
of murder, two charges of armed rob­
bery and one charge of attempted
armed robbery.
To Patrolmen James McClain,
#9832, and Nicholas Baffa, #10801,
of Task Force Area #1, for police
action which resulted in the saving
of two lives . At 1500 hours, on 12
May, Officers McClain and Baffa,
while patrolling their beats, observed
a fire and sped to the scene. As the
officers kicked open the locked front
door, a woman ran to safety. The
officers then ran to the rear, where
cries for help were heard. They pried
apart the steel bars covering a win­
dow, reached in and pulled a man
to safety.
To Ptlmn. James
Meyers, #6139, of
the 20th District,
for action result­
ing in the capture
of a burglar. On
10 May 1962, Offi­
.'() cer Meyers re­
sponded to a radio call of "burglary
in progress." As he reached the
scene, he saw the man running out of
the front door. Giving chase, around
the back, over fences and down
alleys, he finally caught the burglar.
Leaving the prisoner with newly­
arrived officers, Meyers retraced the
offender's steps and found the tool
with which the burglar had gained
entrance.
To Sergeants Richard Pecka,
# 1311, and William Winters, # 1561,
of the 7th District, for action which
resulted in the arrest of three rapists.
On 6 May 1962 at 0310 hours, Sgt.
Pecka, responding to a radio call of
"shots fired," was informed by the
victim that she had just been raped
by three men who fled down a nearby
alley. Giving chase, Sgt. Pecka cap­
tured two of the men. The third man
slipped away and concealed himself
in a doorway, drawing a gun. Just
as he took aim at Sgt. Pecka, Sgt.
Winters arrived, knocked the gun
from the assailant's hand and sub­
dued him after a brief struggle. All
three have been positively identified
by the victim.

The object of a bank escort is to
protect the merchant and his money
deposit from a possible hold-up. This
officer appears to be so interested in
seeing that the money gets into the
bank one would think the merchant
owner is under suspicion. As you
can see this officer is wide open for
an attack. He should stand with his
back to the wall, hand near his gun,
alert and ready for the unusual.
BOOK WORM
(continued tram page five)
Included in the book are figures
to show the alarming amount, in re­
placement value, the "car clouter"
takes each year, and the more alarm­
ing habit of many police officials to
expend little effort to stop the crime.
Car clouting, say the authors, is a
crime of major importance, not to be
ignored.
The book is light reading that car­
ries a heavy impact. Not designed
for the police strategist, it is excellent
reading for the beat patrolman.
The book is available at the Po­
lice Training Academy, 720 W.
