HIS FACE IN THE ROGUES GALLEhI
A POLICEMAN DISGRACING THE FORCE.

HE coNFEssEs HIS GUILT TO SUPERINTENDENT
MURRAY AND is HELD FOR PERJURY.
A startling piece of information was given to
Observation-Disclosures Murray yesterday by "A
detective of the force 1t was that the Rogues'
Gallery contained the picture of man who
had been policeman about year. Mr.. Murray
sent dispatch to the Thirty second Precinct,
ordering Policeman Frederick Conklin to report
to Headquarters Immediately ConlSn was a
graduate of the Civil Service school and was
appointed a patrolman on September l, 1885,
being we'll recommended. When he applied for
appointments he made an affidavit that he never
had been arrested or convicted of any crime and
that his age was twenty-nine years. few
months ago he was accused of matchmaking
liouor-dealers in the Sixteenth Precinct The
testimony against him was explicit and convlnc-
ing but Conklin brought a number of witnesses
to prove an alibi, and the Police Board hes-
tated to dismiss him. His trial, however, called
attention to him and led to the discovery that
he had been thief
In May 1871, when Conklin was seventeen
years old, he was convicted of stealing watch
at the rooms of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, and he was sentenced to the penltentlary
for five years. When ConlSn reached the Super
intendent's office yesterday and was accused of
false swearing, he at first denied his guilt, but
he finally confessed that he was both thief
and a pcrjurer He offered to resign from the
force, and his resignation was accepted.
Mr. Murray took an eraser from his desk and
cut the buttons off Conkln's uniform. The
degraded man hung his head and shed tears
while the emblems of his Office were being Ne
moved When he informed that he was
under arrest on the charge Of perjury he begged
to be let &c, on account of his wife and children,
guilty man to the Jefferson Market Police Court,
where he was held in 81, 900 bail for trial.
