OFFICER KREBs ExoNERATED,


The board of police commissioners last
night exonerated Policeman Frank Krehs
from charges of brutality which had been
preferred By Samuel Hoeslich. 1t was
shown that Hoeslich was in the habit of
buying goods from thieves and that he has
continually had trouble with police OH
GERS. Witnesses also testified to Hoes
lich's quarrelsome disposition. The testi-
mony Of Hoeslich and that of Officer
Krebs was at variance, but the commission
ers accepted the officers word in prefer
ence TO the plaintiffs and the charges
were dismissed.
