Ex Cop in Jail Denounces System in Shameful Terms
William Harris, a former police officer, declares jail a shameful place and contends he is innocent of robbing John Harris. Fred Nichols, Harris's associate, faces similar charges after a 4 am arrest by Lieut Yorath and Detective O Donnell in the restricted district. The two allegedly lured the victim to an AHC saloon, throttled him in an alley, and stole two Canadian bills and $12 in silver before fleeing. Harris, once a deputy at the race meet, rejects malice claims and awaits district court proceedings from his jail cell.
