This done, Bookman relaxed and followed a home-remedy suggestion to ease aching muscles: he drank a tumbler of heavy saltwater solution.

He seized Bailey's camera, ruined his film, and had him carted off to jail. The Courier-Journal reported what had happened in Page One stories, and a grand jury indicted Police Chief Gugel for interfering with Photographer Bailey's civil rights.
