Patrolman Campbell, brother in law of ex Gov Lewelling, arrested “Chick” Markham in North Topeka and transported him on a streetcar to the south side. Markham refused fare, claiming prisoner status, finally paying a nickel after an usher settled the issue. The conduct of the arrest on public transit sparks calls for an ordinance prohibiting carrying detainees on streetcars. Patrolman watched the prisoner closely from the car platform as the event unfolds. The report notes the police board’s recent innovations and questions streetcar custody practices.
