FoRr WORTH, March g. 1854.
: The police committee, To whom was
referred the complaint of Michael
Bohen against Officer A. G. Brandon,
met at The city hall, this day, and
heard the evidence for and against Mr..
Brandon on the within charges and
specifications rs preferred by Mr.. |
Bohen, and We, from all the evidence |
that was heard and was able TO nd |
duce, have decided that Mr.. Brandon
used language toward Mr.. BOhen that
was yerI. mnhecoming 10 lin an
officer and RentIeman, but farther
more we consider after u careful and
| searching Investigation of all the evil
deDce that was brought before ue,
that the nggravatiOn was SO great Mt
the the time and under the cirGunl-
stances that the language was used we
think and recommend that this purt
Of The charge be regarded In rs lenient
n manner rs possible, aud do not
recommend the council TO tako any
action upon this charge of using in
decent and immoral languag. :. There
was no evidence brought before the
committee 10 substantiate the other &
charge and specifications; but the gen 1
crai tenor OF the testimony went to Il
show thnt MIR. Brandon il AN upright, O
honorable gentleman who at the Ii
present lime Is valuable auxiliary 10 :
the police force cf the city, and we {
cannot SEQ from the testimony pre-
scented that any action should be taken I
upon these charges aud specifications. g
