Local Police
Score High at
Law School
Three East Cleveland police
officers have successfully com
pleted a course in “Criminal
Investigation and Interroga
tion” at The Western Reserve
University School of Law.
Sergeant Allan J. Pearse,
Patrolmen Leland Nagy and
George Williams, participated
in the 30-hour program which
was designed to give the officer
practical experience in the
field of investigation and in
terrogation.
The class, made up of stu
dents representing police de
partments from all over the
state, received lecture material
and was divided into teams,
with each group assigned to
a crime scene project.
The East Cleveland team,
including Cleveland Heights
Patrolman James Divis, and
Mayfield Heights Patrolman
Gene Timbers, arranged a hy
pothetical victim of a stabbing
homicide scene.
This exercise required the
five man team to carry out a
complete investigation, sub
mitting reports, crime scene
sketches, lifting latent finger
prints, submitting casts and
moulages, and other evidence,
all properly marked and pack
aged.
High individual grades were
maintained by this group in
the required written examina
tion held at the conclusion of
the course and graduation cer
tificates were then awarded
those who qualified.
Police Chief H. S. Weaver,
who is a firm believer in this
type of training, praised the
East Cleveland police officers
for their fine showing. “I want
to compliment the men for liv
ing up to the high standards of
the department,” he said.

G. T. Apthorp, in a meeting
Tuesday with two NYC repre

it very clear that something
must be done.
The meeting was a closed
section with only the railroad’s
division engineer, division sup
erintendent, Fire Chief Fred
Lange and Sanitarian Stanley
Slejko in attendance.
According to Apthorp. the
railroad men begged off im
mediate action because they
lyere “new to the area” having
been transferred to Cleveland
from Chicago and were not
familiar with the problems in
volved.
Budget Problems
They also claimed budgetry
problems might make cleaning
up a little difficult.
Never-the-less, Apthorp stat

as he accused NYC of being very
lax in taking care of its prop

However, according to Ap

Slejko is expected to confer

Apthorp pointed out that the
most important consideration
with the Nickel Plate and CTS
is that there have been no
brush fires on their properties.
A spokeman for the NYC had
stated that his railroad “will
take every step to clean up the
area.”
More than likely, the railroad
has a few weeks to fulfill this
pledge.
