POLICE PURITY.

The tendency OF policemen to outswcar respectable
citizens was aptly illustrated yesterday before tho
Roard OF Police Commissioners few days ago
the Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby, Chancellor Of tho
University of New York, while walking with a
clergyman friend in University place, noticed two po-
licemen having between them man, apparently a
nrisoner 90 with him into a liquor saloon on that
street Their conduct excited his Suspicion that all
was not right. and In spirit Of justice he followed
them after they emerged from the saloon He
ascertaned that they took their prisoner to the
Twenty y-ninth precinct station house When the cir
cumstances reached the ears OF the Commissioners,
Mr. Crosby was requested TO appear before them to
stand yesterday and testified TO the circumstances
stated To his surprise, the accused policemen unhesi
tatngly swore TO having never entered the saloon.
