Police Commissioners held special meeting
yesterday afternoon to further consider the
matter of officer McCarty, who was upor
the previous day adiudged guilty of unofficer
like conduct Tor shooting Z. A. McEyey
while attempting to arrest him for an alleged
misdemeanor. Upon the meeting of the
Board Mr.. McCarty requested that tbs
Board accompany him to the spot where the
shooting occurred, that he might mora fully
explain to them the manner in which the
shooting, which he claims was accidental, oc
Cured. The request was complied with, the
members of the Board, together with the
officer, MeEyey and Others, going to the loca-
ton, at Front and r streets. After their
return the Board considered the matter
briefly in private consultation, aud then re-
sumed the session. Judge Henry said the
members considered the act committed a
very grave >one-one which could not
be lightly overlooked, as it tended to a
want of safety coming from the direction
OF those to whor the public look, by reason
OF their position, for protection. He said the
officer whose case was being considered was a
personal and valued friend of his, and T.
highly honorable and respectable gentleman,
yet his conduct in this matter had convinced
him that Mr.. McCarty was better qualified
for some other walk of life. Chief Karcher
and Mayor Brown spoke briefly upon the
subject, and said the Board had unanimously
agreed upon dismissal as their verdict. Chief
Karcher moved to proceed to the election of
person to fill the vacancy. Judge Henry
desired the matter postponed few days
