Members of the police stolen
goods division held open house
Wednesday for 25 guests on the
second floor of the police station
—it was a jewelry shower.
Lieut. E. L. Drane. Eugene Wells
and J. Walker Cassady, detective*,
who acted as hosts, were dressed in
everyday work clothes of bhie. pin-
stripe suits, cowboy boots and M
caliber pistols with light blue handles.
The occasion was arranged so their
guests could pick out what jewelry
had formerly been theirs until they
had been relieved of it by an enter-
prising Negro burglar.
When Drane and his co-hosts
learned that the Negro had been ar-
rested by Tulsa police, they hastened
to invite some of the city's best fam-
ilies who had complained for several
months of stolen jewelry, to drop in
Wednesday at 11 a. m. and brows*
around.
