Policeman Floyd Alleged to Have Used
His Club without Cause

His Club without Cause
ssThe treatment which Frank Mellon
received at the hands of officer Floyd
was outrageous, said Undertaken
Charles b, Dougherty to an EVENING
JOURNAL reporter this morning, "and
the statement In morning paper that a
crowd attempted TO rescue Mellon Is
false and malicious. ''he only persons
to interfere were John Kyle, Charles
Griffith and myself Mellon had been
thrown down and was struggling with
Sergeant Wigglesworth and Officer
Floyd. went over to try and quiet
Mellon and in that way to assist the
officers Sergeant WiRglesworth had on
the nippers and went on the other side,
and while we were taking him TO the
station Floyd beat him again on the head
with his club, You eau see Mr. Kyle or
Mr. Griffith they viii corroborate what
say"
Yes" said Mr.. Griffith, Floyd acted
like brute, but Sergeant Wiggleswortb
did nothing unbecoming an officer, except
that he did nothing to stop Floyd's brutal
work. Frank was little obstreperous,
but there was no need for the officer to
use his baton as he did Sergeant Wig
ellsworth said when MELONS mother
orderdea me TO arrest him the man was
drunk and acted like mad man. He
used foul names toward me and kicked
and choked me. The reason why did not
club bin was because the other officer
had my Climb. He fought and struggled
along Sixth street from West to Orange
Az that point ae grabbed hold Of Officer
Floyd's club and tried to wrench it from
him | then threw him down. but
nobody hit him while he was down A
big crowd gathered around there at the
time. As soon as Mellon got up he made
a spring at Floyd and it was then that
the officer struck him two blows One
Of the men present attempted to rescue
him. Neither Dougherty nor Griffith saw
Melons previous conduct he knew
what he bad done and to-day wisely de-
cided to make no fuss about 1t. !"
Mellon is big man, and had been
drinking hard of late He was fined $40

terrified at what had happened, were
left alone. they began to plot to get the

the water and it drowned in liew
moments
When the midwife returned she was
Informed that Josephine had taken the
