PRISONERS' BANQUET OF LOS ANGELES CHIEF
GOES DOWN IN HISTORY AS ‘LAST SUPPER’
Celebration of New Jail Opening and
Study of Criminology Combined In
Function Held for Crooks
BY FORREST WHITE,
(Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune).
LOS ANGELES, April 30.—The banquet given by
Chief Vollmer, the fancy cop. imported to command the
Los Angeles police, to the prisoners in the Lincoln Heights
jail, has passed into tradition of that institution as the
“last supper.”
The jail birds crucified the police all right, but that
is not the reason why the joyous as
fair will not be repeated. They
also leveled their shafts of oratory
against the courts, the judges, the
prosecuting officials, the Salvation
army and the Midnight Mission, and
stirred up bitter resentment a*l
around against this latest experi
ment in modernism as applied by
Vollmer to the conduct of the police
department.
It was a grand party while It
lasted. Among the guests were
some of the most notorious crooks in
this part of the country, to say noth
ing of dope fiends, panhandlers and
other types sojourning In the jail.
While the affair was Informal as to
dress and manners, the guests
proved themselves of no mean cali
ber as post prandialorators, and
that's where the hurt comes in. For
some of the things they said cut
deep Into the dignity of the courts
and their officers and reflected
gravely upon court procedure.
Chief Vollmer’s bright idea had a
double purpose; to celebrate for the
inmates themselves the opening of
the nice new jail that has no bars
or keys, and to determine from the
speeches of the crooks themselves
the origin of crime.
The chief attended with his staff
of high officers and undoubtedly
they learned many things of inter
est tn their study of criminology.
They would have learned much more
but for bumping square into the un
derworld code that a crook does not
snitch even on crooked police.
Vollmer's master of ceremonies
was “Frisco Tommy.” who told his
hearers that he had been Inside of
more jails than there were dollars tn
the crowd, but had reformed, and
announced that Chief Vollmer want
ed the boys present to pitch In and
pan the police to a fare thee well.
The boys were uncertain about
this announcement by "Frisco” but
Vollmer confirmed his words with
a nod of the head, and the flood was
loosed.
Johnny Jumper, a youth with a
Valentino make up, proved the code
of the underworld early In the pro
ceedings.
“I never trusted the cope," said
Johnny. “I never had to. I had a
superior quality of goods I was sell
ing to an exclusive trade. You got
me because my competitor tipped you
off to my residence.
“What I want to know Is this:

why Is It that the records show you

Vollmer was Interested. He got
up and asked Johnny to name the
crooked cops. Johnny hesitated but
the briefest part df a moment, but
even the crowd began to yell at him
“don’t you do It, don't turn copper!”
And Johnny, with a smll© shook
his head and Vollmer did not per
sist.
Fire on the courts and prosecutors
which extended to the Midnight Mis’
slon and the Salvation Army lodging
houses which were denounced as
breeding places of crime, was started
by a negro who declared that it is
now before the judgo can get a
good look at you, he says “six
months.” A Russian looking and
talking like a poet followed up, say
ing that “our judges are In a rut
and possess only one track minds.”
and “they convict by formula." The
prosecuting officers were accused of
working merely for a conviction and
of never weighing justice in a case.
Vollmer, claiming that he had
learned enough to give him aid,
brought a halt to the discussion
which had gone far afield, but he
has learned a great deal more from
•he judges and prosecuting officers
since this first and last banquet for
the prisoners.

he passed a fence beyond the end
of the concrete sidewalks, a
crouching man flred at him. The
bullet struck bls watch- Again
the dark flgure flred. The second
bullet battered Perry’s looking

It Is probable that Perry’s
assailant was lying In wait for an
other person, but mistook the
stronger for his victim. No trace
of the near murderer has been
found.
