Milo Crocker Shot by Patrolman in Dreamland Dance Hall
Milo Crocker was shot by Patrolman Charles E. B. Melson after a quarrel at the Dreamland dance hall. A gray haired grandmother waits in a small apartment at 207 West Queen Anne for news, describing her grandson as a bright, wild youth who has caused his father trouble. She recalls Milo’s brief marriage to Molly Coghlan in Tacoma and his recent return home from theater work, asking reporters to preserve a photograph of her “little boy” as she prays for his survival.
