SINGULAR Action OF A POLICE JUDGE
There have been u number Of little incl
dents that have taken place in the First
Municipal Police Court since acting
Judge Adams has been on tho bench,
nd hot bau /,
fishing, thinking they had been
an oversight on his part, and that it was
intended for the good of the communi-
ty; but since he has made misstep
which contributed to demoralize the
police force, we deem 1t a duty to pub
lish the following incident:
Last evening James McCullum and
Il. q. Randolph were arrested between
the hours Of four and five o'clock, by
Officer McAlpin, charged with being
drunk and disturbing the peace
Capt. Gray thinking that the offence
not warranting their incarceration all
night in lookup, paroled them to ap-
pear before Judge Adams this morning.
The two men appeared In Court this
morning and swOre out an affidavit
against Officer McAlpin, charging him
with making an illegal arrest and insult
and abuse upon his prisoners. Officer
McAlpin was arraigned before Judge
Adams, and placed under two hundred
dollar bond in each case.
The officer then asked that the case
be tried Immediately and that he could
prove his innocence and the guilt of his
prisoner. But Judge Adams took 1t
upon himself to override the officers re-
quest, and placed them under 5000 bonds
each for their appearance at future day.
