Police Blotter, 9/8/1932 [[Scan of old Police Blotter, which reads:]] / ACHEWOOD CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT / Incidents of Police Record for the date September 8, 1932. / IN LARAMIE ST. / Eulalie Dorsson, of 14 Laramie St., reports that groceries valued at $3.42 were damaged by animals before she could meet the grocer and bring them in. A packet of coffee beans was opened and contaminated by claw marks, tins of Italian tomatoes were tossed about roughly and scraped, and 2 lb. of ground beef was missing entirely. / Barbara Fenwick, of 62 Laramie St., reports that several chrome strips were removed from her automobile. Deputy reports confirm that said pieces are missing. The automobile is a '25 Mettering Type VII. Reward. / IN PINING WAY / David Grimes, of 175 Pining way, had left his hat outside for a moment when he returned to discover that it had been struck through the crown with a sharpened dowel. Mr. Grimes (Dexter '02) reports that several of his old college chums may have been in the vicinity, with no good purpose in mind. Several animal tracks were found in the area, perhaps made by special molds belonging to Mr. Grimes' college chums. Investigation open; contact with the chums has not been established. / ALONG ACHEWATER CREEK, WEST COOPERATION / The body of a vagrant was discovered early yesterday morning along the West Cooperation at Hooper's Gate. The pockets contained several dollars in loose change, and a wallet with photographs remained intact. Only the curious detail of the vagrant's hair having been tied to a nearby blackberry bush via a half-dozen lines of twine distinguished the otherwise common scene. / SOUTH OF THE WATER TEMPLE PEDIMENT / Trespassers once again dislodged the grate covering the main aqueduct exchange. Found about the scene were several discarded liquor bottles and one extremely small novelty hat. Youth are suspected. / PENMAN SQUARE / Each of the perimeter refuse bins which demarcate the border of the square was set aflame last evening. Responding officers noted nothing other than a preponderance of curious raccoon eyes in the underbrush, which quickly dispersed when a rock was thrown. / CROFT-BYMAN SUBDIVIDE / A fresh boar's hide was found draped over the Croft-Byman gate yesterday morning. Perversely, the creature had been decorated with four tiny black boots, and a miniature wallet found nearby held a photograph of what is assumed to be a lady boar. / EAST ACHEWOOD / A hound dog was found hanged by the neck, strung up on the automatic railroad crossing gate. The cord was long enough that the dog could stand on the ground while the gate was down, but not once the gate lifted. This is the fifteenth such incident in recent months, a crime which detectives have nicknamed "mailbagging." No leads have been identified, but officials have stated that the perpetrators always wrap the victim's head in a burlap Gravenstein apple sack prior to placing the noose. / Sherovoam Duncan was arrested on charges of public drunkenness outside of the What Cheer saloon on Broadway. / Murray V. O'Dowd was arrested on charges of public drunkenness outside of the Tam O'Shanter saloon on Larkhurst. / Immanuel Rutlidge was arrested on charges of private drunkenness, in his own bed, so loud did he yell his own name and cry for arrest. It is the first known case of its type. / A man's body was threaded through a dozen car tires and rolled down Parson's Grade. The man came to a rest in Swinehart Creek at Mooney's Mill. The dome of his head had been exposed during the roll and was extremely damaged by rocks and brambles. Investigation open. / Stanislaus Kyrevjcny, 31, toppled the house of a neighbor with whom he had been having an argument. He pushed hard on the neighbor's wall until the house fell down. The neighbor sat there, in his garters and shirt, without even his collar, as the dust settled into his breakfast soup. He blinked several times incredulously as the Pole stood by and laughed. / A local meeting of the Men of Promise, a Christian husband's club, was so overcome by the spirit that they overturned a child's pedal-car. Mr. Einar Ingvaldsson, of 341 Drake, upon inspection of the toy, decided not to press charges, at which point the accused returned to the church to consume juice and swap impressions of the event. / OBITUARIES. / Eldred Phepps, 65. Mr. Phepps was found deceased next to his cat, also deceased, in his East Achewood pension. Cirrhosis was determined to be the cause of death for both. Mr. Phepps was remembered by his neighbors as a troubled widower who had lost all six of his sons at Chemin des Dames. / Mr. Phepps will be cremated by the city. No services are planned. / Marjorie Rozenfeldt, 83. Mrs. Rozenfeldt took her own life in an East Achewood doss house. Mrs. Rozenfeldt had lost eleven grandchildren in the battles of Gallipolli, Trentino, and Jutland. Her husband Abraham passed away eighteen years prior. / Mrs. Rozenfeldt will be cremated by the city. No services are planned. / Silas Manning Graham, aged 3 months. Baby Silas was tragically poisoned when an exotic orchid wilted into his crib and the deadly flower was mistaken for a suckling teat. / Dr. and Mrs. Robert J. Graham plan to donate a new library to Dexter University in honor of their son's passing. Funeral services to be held Tuesday at Our Lady of the Divine Grace, Achewood Heights, 10:00AM. / Contact the Department: Tel. A-5022
