July 12 report says Harold King a former policeman acted as both officer and criminal. He admitted being the lookout in the January 3 1924 holdup and killing of John Kell, a saloon keeper, on Pittsburgh's south side. Investigators say he wore disguises and would switch to civilian clothes to commit crimes then return to blue uniform to evade capture. King was wounded and convicted later in a meat market holdup. A later item notes a London couple, Mr and Mrs Perry, failing in a third marriage attempt.
