WEEHAWKEN'S GUARDIANS"

SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST TWO MEMBERS OF
LEGAL PINES INFLICTED.
The police force of Weehawken is small, but it is
composed Of vigorous club wielders, who will ply
their baton literally and after beating their prisoner
will take him before Recorder Brett, who it is sad
never fails to exact fine. On Thursday night
party Of young men were returning in wagon
from the picnic of the st. Mary's Roman Catholic
Church OF Hoboken. which held Secaucus.
The party stopped ut lannon's Hotel in Weehawken,
leaving lad In the wagon who had been drinking
too freely. He was seized with nausea. when Ser
geant OF Police Norris frost happened to that
way. He approached the lad. who remarked. after
some unpleasant speech Of the Sergeant, "You have
got bad eye." That removed the Sergeants hest.
McGowey called and. is alleged, the lad
was dragged out of the wagon and cubbed. He was
then marched to the Recorders office. On reaching
the court Mr.. Laurence Pagan inquired of the
sergeant the reason the boy taken into custody.
He was told to shut his mouth and leave, which he
properly and courteously refused to do He was
elected, then he asserts, beaten, and finally taken
back as a prisoner and charged with being drunk
and disorderly and resisting officer. While the
officers maltreating Pagan a bystander, Mr..
Reuben Phillips said it they had used him in that
shameful and brutal manner he would be tempted
to blow out the brains of the officers-if they had
any. This ample for the officers, and Phil
lips wac arraigned before the Recorder. All these
ined-the boy S6 so, Phillips $ll 50 and Pagan
81 TO- and the latter required to furnish bonds
the sum of $500 to answer before the Grand Jury
for resisting the officer The tables wilt now be
turned. Ex-Judae Hoffman. prominent lawyer of
Hoboken. on hearing of the cases, had Fagan whose
head In badly cut, prefer o charge of arocious
sault and battery against Sergeant Frost. warrant
issued and lie was taken into custody yesterday
An effort will be made to have both Frost and the
Recorder indiced-the latter for exactng exorbtant
and illegal hnes.
