Moran's Detective Ready To Nab Illicit Liquor Hotels
Former Police Inspector Michael Kelley will start at 9 30 am to gather evidence against hotel proprietors Moran says sell liquor illegally. The move follows the police board refusal to aid the district attorney. Moran's Sunday ultimatum expires today and he will act to press prosecutions. Moran would not reveal methods or whether others will assist. No statute provides for prosecutorial detectives, so Kelley will be paid from Moran's salary. The office was busy with routine cases as over 50 witnesses were examined and several matters moved toward trial.
