Of Police Commissioners met last night to
investigate the charges of assault and bat
terry brought against Officer Smith by

night Smith assaulted him; that the whole
affair was spite work. Officer Creighton,
who was present on the night in question
vas sworn.
He stated that Davies when sober was
lniet and peaceable, but when under the
influence OF liquor he was a bad man to
leal with; that he was obliged to draw a
'evolver on one or two previous occasions
before he could arrest him; that on the
hight the assault was committed, Davis was
lnder the influence of liquor, and was SO
,oisterous that force had to be used to ar
est him.
Mr.. Shinkle, of the Board, said that from
The evidence given he thoug ght the officer

treet before an officer could arrest any of
hem; that it was too late for a policeman
o defend himself after he was knocked
lown.
Mr.. Shinkle then made motion that
)fhcer Smith be exonerated, and that he be
upon the force. which was Sec
lnded by Mr. Wohlfhart and the nation
