POLICE ssDARFD.

The Police Board met last night at their
rooms In the Central Station. Mayor Pilsbury
In the chair and quorum OF the commits
sioners present.
Clerk and Operator James l.. O'Connor, for
INSTRUMENTATION, was dismissed the force.
Patrolman NJ. E. Lepretre, for absenting
himself from his beat, was reprimanded.
Patrolman VIM, Lonergan was reprimand-
ed for neglect Of duty.
Patrolman J. d. Carroll, for sitting down
and sleeping on his beat, was reprimanded.
Patrolman Geo. jenkins, for neglect Of
duty, was reprimanded.
Patrolmen B. Craven, w. Myhan and A.
Martin, charged with INSTRUMENTATION by be-
ing present at the Crescent City police force
association were honorabiy acquitted.
Commissioner Palfrey then moved that the
board reconsider their action in the case Of
Patrolman Scully, OF the First Precinct, who
had been dismissed from the force st the pre-
vious meeting Of the board without trial, and
in the total absence OF any testimony.
commissioner johnson then took the floor,
and said that he would certainly vote against
the motion, as ne considered Patrolnan
Scullys action most reprehenSible, and al
though he was dismissed without trial, he
considered the boards action in strict accord
ance with law, for the act creating the police
board gave them the power to dismiss police
men with or without a trial, with or without
cause
The commissioner further stated that he
considered the boards prompt action in dis
missing Scully had nipped the thing in the
bud, and they had saved themselves the
trouble Of Diminishing perhaps fifty officers by
their action toward the man who had led
them; that had the board the power to in
fiict a severer punishment than dismissal
from the force he would have certainly voted
for it; that Officer Scully was not an ignorant
man, for he once was member OF the Legis-
lature.
He then said: II appreciate.the sad condi-
tion of the force but all of US are suffering at
present. We have dealt kindly by the police,
and we do not think our action was arbitrary
towards Officer Scully."
Mayor Piisbury then said: eve have made
| certain rules for the government OF the police
force, and these rules apply to us as well as to
the force; and as those rules were not sus-
pended the night that Scully was dismissed,
but in full force, / consider that the board
should recede from their action in his case
Commissioner johnson replied to his Honor,
saying: "Ihe motion to dismiss suspended
the rules"
Commissioner Dejan then said "My rea-
son for voting against the motion to rescind
is that PatrOlman Scully had publicly stated
that he intended to sue not only the City
Council, but the board"
AS soon as Mr.. Deian finished his remarks
Mr.. Palfrey withdrew his motion.
