A DIsGRACED CHIEF OF POLICE
Releases From Arrest the Woman He Loves
and 10 Dismissed.


Releases From Arrest the Woman He Loves
and 10 Dismissed.
There is excitement in the Harrisburg. Pa.
police department and sensation in the town
on account of Chief of Police Weikert's attempt
to save q woman whom he loved from being
arrested. Weikert is large. handsome fellow.
and was made chief of police in 1887. He is
married
For several years Weikert has ri ven much Of
his time in the entertainment of Miss Laura
Weidman, pretty brunette. The wonaa
made frequent calls at police headquarters and
passed much of her time in the chiefs private
Office. .....
When charge Of disorderly conduct was
made against Miss Weidman by her boarding
house keeper, Mayor Fritchey took the mat
ter in hand and detailed Sergeant Mccain and
discovered in house Of questionable repute
and an attempt was made to arrest her.
Before the policemen got her out OF the house
Weikert appeared and ordered the men to
leave. They refused to obey and locked the
woman in a room to get time to communicate
with the mayor. ''-i
Meantime Weikert secured a screw driver and
removed the lock Of the door, liberatine the
woman, and attempted to get her away through
the rear entrance. The policemen discovered
this move, however, and took Miss Wcidman
to the police station. The mayor committed
her to the lock-up-a dark pen in the court
house cellar.
This was done while Weikert was protesting
wildly and threatening violence to every man
connected with the arrest. His temper was
high and was brought down only after the SER
geant Of police threatened to lock him I'D. u ~
Weikert continued to make every effort to
secure the woman's release. He accomplished
this in the morning after the keeper left by Sc
curing hey from the janitor of the court
house. He unlocked the cell door and set Miss
Wcidman free. The mayor discharged Weikert
from the force, and the ex-chief has left town.
