Disrniased

VIM. c. McGnl. THE CRrTGo re-
porter who was arrested for ohstructng
the sidewalk by Officer Carson on Tues
day night, was tried 10 the Police Court
this morning lie was represented by
Nessrs. Daniel f. Cohill and Campbell
Darlington, who, at the opening Of the
case, stated the facts as printed In
Wednesday CRITIC. Continuing, they
declared the arrest an outrage and one
that would be properly punished, If
there was any law to do It.
Officer Carson was then called 10 the
stand. He testified that he had ordered
the defendant of the corner that he re-
fused 10 90, and declared he knew the
law and would not leave. Il threat.
ened TO arrest him. said the officer,
"aud he demanded my number Some
more conversation ensued and he and
his companion left me. They were
under the influence Of LIQUOR"
The officer told the story Of the arrest
In the station house half an hour later.
whereupon District Attorney Dumont
arose and said that after such a state
ment conviction could not be expected
or asked.
Mr. Cahill protested against such a
disposition Of the case, as there were
reputable, responsible business men in
court who were prepared to swear to
McGilPs entire sObriety ten minutes be-
fore the arrest was made.
Judge Mills then permitted the cross.
examination Of the officer. He contra.
dioted himself repeatedly under the
cross. fire questions that Attorneys Ca
hill and Darlington so ably hurled az
him until finally Judge Mills ordered
him from the stand and rendered his
decision
He characterized the arrest as illegal
and uncalled for, no matter what the
condition Of the defendant might have
been. The arrest, IL there was to have
been any, should have been made on
the spot and not subsequently at the
station, where the reporter had a right
to 90 to verify the number
given him by the officer. Continuing,
he severely reprimanded the officer for
his conduct in not using some discrc-
tion in dealing with persons In the pur-
suit of their legitimate business, and
concluded by advising the defendant
that his proper redress was 10 take the
officer before the trial board, and such
other legal means as were in his
power
He thereupon dismissed the case.
"Can | make an explanation" said
Officer Carson, as he stepped on the
stand.
mo, sir, you cannot said Judge
Mills, stcrnly
This ended the case, and the party
filed out q court The matter will not
be dropped, however, for Mr.. McGill
will take the matter before the Commis.
