THE REASON WHY.-Last Monday the
Board of Police Commissioners had before
it Patrolman Kemp, for conduct unbecom-
ing an officer, and dispensed with his further
services. The charge was that he had, for
his own affair, arrested and locked up the
woman he had lived with az a wife for
several years, leaving, at the time, their
helpless babe in the open street unprotected.
These facts were well established, by good
witnesses in Gretna, who were cOgnizant Of
the fellows brutality and other meanness.
A complete lack Of morals is a heavy
charge, and when proved, should dismiss
any man from the force.
