Says Police Wouldn't Call Husband Didn't Have Key To Help Boy In Garage: Landlady The West Side landlady in whose garage 6-year-old Billy Kissane, 4500 Washington, was locked for an hour said Friday a police report that she refused to help the boy get out was untrue.

A police report of the incident stated that Mrs. Sam Field, owner of the building at 4358 Washington, was asked to unlock the garage, but refused. "How can you refuse," asked, when you don't have the keys?" She added that she had FREE SOUVENIRS AT MID-WEST SUPPLY SALE Free souvenirs for everyone will be offered by Mid-West Decorators Supply 4350 Madison, at its annual anniversary sale (Thursday) through Saturday.

Keeler, was treated at Garfield a hospital Wednesday after she got her right ring finger caught in a door in her home. FOR THE LATEST WEATHER FORECAST told the police officers who arrived on the scene that her husband and a tenant had the only keys.

WHEN SHE ASKED them to get her husband at his''business in the'3000 block of Madison they refused, she said, even though they had a squad car and it "would have taken them only about five minutes." In fact, she added, she was the one who sent two of Billy's playmates to get his mother and who told an older boy to summon the police, to see if they could possibly lift up the overhead doors and free the youngster. The garage doors locked automatically when a playmate accidentally pushed Billy inside and closed the door. Mrs. Field, herself the grandmother of seven, "certainly wouldn't want anything like that to happen to any of them," but also did not want to have to break the garage lock il it could be avoided. Billy was freed when the janitor of the building came by and removed a hinge from the door.
