pointed board ofipolice commissioners
this evening finished their investigation
OF the conduct OF Inspector of Police
James Dunn and Chief of Detective
Charles Wappenstein, against whom
newspaper charges of blackmail have
been made. The commissioners an.
nounced that their decision was reserv-
cd until tomorrow afternoon and that
meantime both officers were sus-
pended. The testimony before the
board seemed to show that
on Saturday night last, Dunn
aud Wapponstein entered a
house OF Ill repute, where was party
OF five men, including John and James
McClymond, of Florida, and Jerry
Downing, q jockey, who were attending
the Latonia races. The officers remain
cd In company with tho strangers for
several hours, but when the latter spoke
of departing they were informed they
were under arrest. Once out OF the
house IL was intimated that 500 would
prevent trouble, and John McClymond
promptly offered the required
sum to Wsppensteln, who declined
to take 1t, but suggested that 1t be given
TO his friend, Mr.. Jamison. MIR. jam
ison, who was really George Champbell,
a well know local politician, accepted
the money and the McClymonds were
then released. The next day the story
was circulated ON the streets and from
newspaper agitation found its way to
the police commission. The officers
deny any connection with the affair
whatever, and assert that the McCly-
monds were victimized by skilled i'm
posters.
