it was colder than hell we spotted this little boy walking around barefoot, just a little fella about four. We went into the vestibule of a nearby apartment building because we figured he might live there. "Our old friend, the little girl from Peter-boro, was standing there crying, and she said, 'Yes, he's my son. My husband kicked us "We went up to her apartment, and right away we smelled gas. We busted in the door, and he had his head in the oven.

"When he saw us, he made a dive for the window this was on about the fourth floor and started to jump out. I grabbed him, but he was a heavy man, and the four of us had to pull like the devil to get him back in. We took him down to Receiving Hospital as a sick person. "Well, about a week went by, and we got a run to that address. The call was from her, and she said he had done something bad to the boy.

"We went running back up there and kicked the door again. He was sitting there calmly drinking a bottle of beer and watching a boxing match. "There in the corner was the kid, and we could see from the blood smears where he had tried to climb the wall to get away from his old man. The child was dead, just laying there in all that blood." There are other vicious crimes that occupy a dark part of Slim's memory, like the murder of a retarded child in the Jeffries Project; he was beaten to death, then dumped down a sewer way over on St. Antoine.

And exactly what kind of a tariff does repeatedly seeing this kind of thing exact from a sensitive man over the years? "A lot of policemen put away a lot of booze, and you wonder why, because they of all people see what liquor does. But I guess it relieves them of the wound-up feeling." The danger does not help a man keep his emotional bearings, either. Slim admits thai the danger's worse now, but it wasn't any picnic in the old days, either, and sometimes things got hairy. In addition to several shooting scrapes, none of them lethal, Rotation was in his time bitten by prostitues, scalded by water tossed by him by a junkie's adoring mother, slashed by a razor hidden in the pocket of a mugger he was frisking, smashed in the face with a stolen radio flung by a panicky car booster and spit upon by numerous souls not kindly disposed toward gendarmes. On his scale of values, saliva was one of the worst weapons.

"I'd almost rather get shot at or bitten than have someone spit in my face," he says. "One of my biggest fears on the job was that I would catch TB." When push did occasionally come to shove, and hostility was manifest among several people gathered in one place, the handiest weapon for guys like Slim was the cruiser's submachine gun, a weapon which a lot of today's young coppers have never even seen: A few years ago, the police department decided the tommy guns were counter-productive in terms of community relations, and they were taken away from the Big Fours. "It was the best enforcer of all," Slim remembers fondly. "Luckily, we never had to fire it. We carried it in a locked box on the rear window ledge of the cruiser, and everyone on the streets knew what was in that box.

If we had an angry crowd, all we had to do was pull the box out, and, baby, the party was over "It will be too bad when they finally get rid of all the cruisers in the city. I think they need one in every precinct. It's a hell of a psychological impact when that big black car rolls up and four big guys pile out." But Rotation Slim is fighting the calendar when he talks like this, and he knows it. The times just ain't the same any more, and the police department has had to keep pace with Continued on Page 26 Mail the coupon today -right now and we ll include the Kennedy fapoon without extra charge!

Ol.to. Csl. mm Kelley would look for the suspect in pool halls, and that he would go in circles around the rooms wielding a blackjack until he found his man or someone who would talk. Another is that the cruiser would keep "rotating" around certain intersections and would pick up several narcotics violators on the same corners each day. Another is that O'Kelley once grabbed an unruly prisoner and kept twirling him around and around until he was too dizzy to fight.

O'Kelley himself denies all these stories, and he claims he does not know how he got the name. He says that someone in the You're probably wondering by now how Patrolman Jack Rogers O'Kelley earned the nickname of "Rotation Slim." If you talk to his old peers on the police force, you will get some explanations which are so good they ought to be true even if they aren't. One story is that O'Kelley carried a retractable pool cue instead of a nightstick, and that he would make a group of suspects stand in a circle while he went around jabbing them with the cue until they talked. Another is that he would circle the block once with the cruiser when he spotted a troublemaker; if the character was still there after the first rotation, he would be taken to the station for questioning. 1 000 PERSONALIZED LABELS SI.
