a Pair After Which tho Police Have
Been Hunting.
George Cognovich, alias Garibaldi, and
Jerry COnnors. q police officer, have, during
the past six months, furnished more Items to
the papers than almost any two men In the
city.
What ID more remarkable, they have both
evaded that punishment which the law gen
orally metes out to such offenders.
Cognovich Is now before the First District
Court under the charge Of attempting to com-
nit an indecent assault upon one Mary
Davis, while his companion, Jerry Conners,
Is before the courts on various charges OF as
sallt and battery on citizens and policemen,
and before the Police Board on five different
charges, which, from some xplained cause,
have been postponed by the board from time
to time.
Chief Boylan has done his duty by suspend
Ing Connors, and says he will keep him sus-
pended until such time as the board tries the
case. ~.
Sunday night this duo repaired to Annie
MiIler's domicile, No. 80 Marais street, and
while there disturbed tho peace and because
Annie objected to their doings threatened TO
take her life. Leaving this house they re-
paired to q den kept by negro woman, No.
116 Bienvtlle street, named Annie Hhll, and
because she would not permit them to do US
her by her hair, dealt her blow In the left
eye, and another which broke her nose.
While Cognovich had her on the floor
choking her, his friend kicked her in the side
Officer Bayard, who appeared on the scene
shortly after the difficulty, 1t Is said, instead
of arresting the two men, occupied the time
by comforting the woman by telling her that
she did not get any more than she deserved.
On Monday both Annie Miller and Annie
Hall appeared before Judge Miltenberger and
made af1idavits against the men. Annie Mil
Ter charged the two with disturbing the
peace and threatening her life, while Annie
Hall charged Cognovich with assault apd
battery.
Yesterday crowd Of Cognovichs friends
called at Annie Halls house and attempted to
intimdate her by Threatening her life II
she did not withdraw the affidavit. Both the
accused evaded arrest until last night, when
