Jackson met with Mayor John O.

mayor called for calm following
increasing community outrage over
the lack of police concern and

after officers left. court records said .
Had officers run Dahmer's name.
through their computer check, they
would have discovered that he was
on probation for molesting the
Laotian youth'S younger brother.
Police say Dahmer has admitted
killing 17 people inee 1978, includ­
ing the boy and four men, after being
controntec by police May 27.

criminatory in May when they took
Dahmer:'s word over the complaints
of Black witnesse who claimed the
boy was molested, bleeding and en­

Police recordings released last
week indicated the officers laughed
an4 joked about needing to be
"deloused" after leaving the boy and
Dahmer behind at. tbe apartment.
