clear and satisfactory explanation Of the
charges Of irregularity made by Expert

1t Is understood that President Rein

explanation Of the several charges en-
bodied in Little's report that Will be

ROckAWAY's FARCE COMEDY.
Witnesses "Guyed" at Sheriff
Norton's Police Investigation.
Damaging Evidence Brought Out
Against Sergt. Walsh.
Especial to The Evening wor,d)

RoCKAwAY BEACH, Aug. s.-The
investigation by Sheriff Norton of the
charges against the local police de-
partment appears so far to be OF a
very farcical nature.
The proceedings yesterday were held
In County Treasurer Bessler's office at
Hammel's Station, which was crowded
with spectators. who were continually
"guying" the witnesses. laughing and
talking, and frequently calling out to
the men on the stand: Have drink
Pop" and similar remarks.
Among the audience were Harry Hill.
Harry Gennett, Perry Byrnes and other
proprietors of well-known resorts along
the beach.
-Four witnesses were examined, and
although their testimony put the police
In bad light, II didn't seem to phase
Sheriff Norton a little bit.
Two of the witnesses were newspaper
men, who testified to having played In
gambling houses on the beach.
John Wainwright, Chairman of the
Business Mems Protective Association.
testified that his committee had COM
planned to Capt. Allen and Sergt. Walsh
OF the existence OF gambling games on
the beach. and that the Captain did
nothing to stop them until Sheriff Nor
ton was appealed to. Then the games
were stopped.
The next witness was ex-Policeman
Sheppard. The farce-comedy began with
him. To all the questions asked by
Counsellor Mott, of Downing, Mott &
Co., he made answers that were fire.
quently entirely irreverent
Sheppard swore that while he was a
policeman he was told by Sergt. Walsh
to keep an eye out for gambling and
disorderly houses as there would be a
dollar in It" for him. He told Walsh OF
several gambling houses that were being
run and the Sergeant's answer was, he
declared. 'tDon't talk too much"
Sheppard lost his position by being
found in disorderly house. He claims
that he was there trying to get evidence
against the place.
The police will have a chance to de-
fend themselves next Tuesday. DIR.
Brandreth, of Rockaway, Is bearing the
expense of the investigation. He asked
| at the conclusion of the evidence. that
| the Sheriff relieve the police from fur
Their duty. The Sheriff refused to dc
this until he had heard the other side
| of the story.
The evidence. so far, seems to directly
implicate Sergt. Walsh. but Capt Allen
will probably have to take the blame OF
| his own shoulders.

The story of Mrs. Hartmann, as told
by the Coney Island police. is that she
called at the Sea Beach Hotel, West
Brighton, about s p. NJ. yesterday with
a male escort. She was not feeling well
and was assigned room.
About s o'clock the guests in the hotel
were startled by cries from Mrs. Hart

her assistance and found the man who
came to the hotel with her holding her
down on the bed. The woman was
screaming at the top Of her voice and
struggling violently.
Dr. Pierce was called, and 1t IL said
that he pronounced her to be in a criti-

removed to a city hospital at once.
The man who brought Mrs. Hartmann
to the hotel ran out of the room, telling

Mrs. Hartmann said the man was an
old friend. and that she had known him
