Policing by Singers On North Side Draws Fire
A long critique of Eddie Baynes and fellow officers on North Halsted Street who combined policing with singing in saloons. The piece accuses plainclothes detectives of prioritizing entertainment over crime fighting, cites Baynes’ career since 1906, and questions Inspector O Briens judgment. It notes burglaries continue with few arrests and mentions a separate Lake Shore drive hold up of Miss Susie Browne and Miss Edna Browne with no arrests.
