His only was that he was ironically shot at! He was the intended victim yet he was held in jail Not only that but it was said the reason for the intended shooting was that he was the in the case bcause he was alleged to be going with di vorced' wife Which even if true a crime In this case he says it true However the point mak ing is that the spirit of the law that a man is innocent until he is proven guilty should be ob served more closely We think the Reno police department errs any more frequently or more seriously than even the best in the country Everyone knows that in many cities suspects are subjected not only to humiliating third degrees but actual physical mistreatment and when they are eventually cleared of suspicion they even get an apology urther their names have been smeared in sensational news stories unjustly Reporters as well as the po lice should watch these incidents for a name is his most sa cred possession A SENSATIONAL case is now before the the Alderman Etting trial This further serves to emphasize the point we tried to make above Basically ex wife is suing Ruth Etting for stealing her husband But the case has taken all sorts of side roads has detoured into past love affairs and just about everyone except Prime Minister Chamberlain and his umbrella have been mentioned in some connection or other Yesterday it was brought out that Aiderman once kissed Dor othy Lamour the actress Why was this testimony necessary? It blackened Miss name it implicated her by innuendo in a case with which she had abso lutely no connection Maybe getting old and intolerant But we see the justice in things like that Torpedo Slips
