Suit Challenges Police Prisoner Search Forfeited Fine
A circuit court suit by Mort Little targets patrolman John McCullough day desk sergeant Chester Miller and police chief Barney Kelley over police searches of prisoners. The action argues $68.10 found on a jailed man was applied to an old fine and questions whether money in custody can be used without an execution. The suit asserts police may keep money at the desk but effectively it is in the prisoner's hands. Also noted is the death of Mrs. Sarah R. Cruft, eighty seven, a socially prominent Indianapolis resident born in Boston and arrived in the city in 1839.
