THE eMOVE ON LAW.
A Talk With Chief Boylan on the
Merits of the Ordinance.

A Talk With Chief Boy1an on the
Merits of the Ordinance.
In conversation with Chief of Police Col.
Thomas N. Boylan, in regard to the move
on" ordinance, he stated that the men had not
been strictly enforcing the ordinance as they
had been somewhat influenced by the recent
trials before the Superior Criminal Court He
said that the Mayor and Administrators
placed one construction on it and the courts
another, consequently he did not like to order
his men to carry out law that placed their
liberty and their position in jeopardy
The chief cited the case OF A. E. Morphy
who was arrested Sunday morning. in front
Of the Jesuits' Church, on Baronne street.
When Mr.. Morphy was brought before
Judge Sheehan he was discharged on the
ground that he was not obstructing the side
walk.
In the opinion of the chief, Mr.. Morphy
was directly violating the law, as he was Ioi-
tering In front of church during the SER
vices. Nevertheless, Mr.. Morphy was dis
charged. and he is now preparing to indict
Officer Mcdonald before the grand jury for
false imprisonment.
The chief has, however, since the Mayors
order, instructed the commanding officers to
notify their men to enforce the ordinance.
