BRAVERY COVERS MANI SINS.
Roll Of Merit Policemen Get on Rasiiy-A
SBatch Of Punishments.


In the batch of judgments against delin-
quent policemen just handed dow by the
Police Commissioners, the fact is made
patent that the possession OF honorable men,
ton medals is a great thing i'll the hour of
trial. W patrolmen charged with serious
oflenses were saved from dismissal from the
force by their record for heroism.
Henry Boylan. of the Sanitary Squad, one
of the easy berths in the department. en-
tered the apartments of a young German
widow, ostensibly to examine the tenement,
of which she was housekeeper, but IN reality
TO insult and degrade her. During the ira
President French sharply reproved him for
the excuse he offered, and SAID he believed
the weep ng widow of three short months
was telling the truth. The record showed
that Boylan had been honorablv mentioned
tine times for saving four lives ut the st.
George Flats, for arresting burglars in the
house of Commissioner Crokers brother and
for arre,ting the murderer of o fellow
patrolman after being shot ut, and on this he
escaped with a fine of ten days pay and n
transfer to the Eighth or penitentlnry pre-
clnct. guarded by the yigilant disciplinarian,
:" Lightning Charlie Mcdonnell.
Thomas GQbrlde, of the Eighteenth Pre-
cinct, wandered aimlessly into the stations
house one day without going through the
formality of being relieved. Capt. Clinchy
preferred against him n complaint of drunk
enness and u%nftness for duty. The plea of
the defendant that he was q non-drinking
pledge man was upset by the surgeon, who
swore that he smelt liquor in his breath.
Gilbride is an honorable mention man for a
brave rescue, and this tact inclined the Com
m~issioners to give him the benefit of the
doubt. His complaint was dismissed.
