I found out the Police Gazette is not a magazine but a weekly police newsletter issued since 1755 Volumes 59-89, 1891-1906, is on microfilm in the Miami-Dade Co. Community College in FL. Some volumes and years were missing. I was hoping to find info about NJ policemen but it mostly had 1. case write-ups but didn't report the arresting officer 2. many, many, many full page pictures of showgirls 3. many, many, many articles on various shows/plays 4. lots of ads including one repeated for "The Magic Money-Maker". "By taking a common, ordinary piece of blank paper and inserting betwen the rollers and then turning the crank, you can produce bills of any denomination and no one, not even an expert, can detect difference from genuine." All in all it was a BIG disappointment. KLAFFKY was not listed in Reel 14, Vols. 59-62,1891-1893, nor Reel 17, Vols. 69-75, 9-18-1896 to 2-10-18900. The few police names I saw were John Thomas HINMAN, Coney Island, NY Jack KELFE, Chief, Jacksonville, FL ? STRAIT, Owega, NY Patrick DUGA, LA Chief John CAREY, NY Detective shot 11-19-1892 David D. LEES, Sheriff Chas HALL, IL Chief Michael O'BRIEN, Albion, NY Chief James Bobbie CONNORS, SD Officer John PORTER, Camden, NJ, Lt. of Police Geo. DAISEY, Gloucester, NJ Officer Chas. BORMANN, Detective, St. Louis, OH or MO Wm. S. RAWLEIGH, MD Chief ???? McCULLAGH, NY Police Capt. Marshall BOLL, Tampa, FL 3-4-1896 Sargeant KANE, Cinn. 4-22-1893 Thomas PHELAN, Capt., Kansas City Harry C. GARRISON, Gloucester NJ Officer Wm. RILEY, Cinn., OH, 453 W. 5th St. J. M.
