on a Hannibal engine I said to a switchman: "I see that the new men still have a body guard." His reply was: "Yes, I - unclear, they need them too! A policemen on a "2" engine is no figurehead. He is an actual necessity and will be for some time." Everything was quiet and orderly about the yards and I saw nor heard nothing that would lead me to suspect further trouble at present." My operator C.H.E. reports as follows: Thursday, April 12/88 "At 3 p.m. I left the Agency for the purpose of getting such information as W.H Courtney, a patrolman on Capt. McGraw's force was reports to have concurring the assault that was made upon two of the employees of the C.B.&Q R.R. in the Whittakers restaurant the morning of April 1st. I called upon Capt. McGraw but did not find him at his office. I saw his clerk and informed him of the business I was upon. He informed me the patrolman Courtney would not report until late in the evening.
