 The board found that there was no intention of Wilful interference on the Pttt OL l etNlO OIillCIl " lSCI anu IOullCly, and that both Patrolmen Bowers and Wiser had not acted just right in the matter.
 A vote was passed instructing the chief to make all reasonable efforts to have Patrolmen Wiser and Bowers set tie their personal differences for the good of the department
 Patrolman Bowers when asked to state his version of the affair said: "On the evening of October 19 while cross ing the central green at 12:05 I heard bOisterous shouts on Chapel street, op pOSite the Insurance building. l went to the corner of Chapel and College streets, where I saw a crowd of stu dents, and asked them to be less noisy, as it was after midnight The students passing on to the campus, shouted back daring me to arrest them. I then went over and was called vile names. took hold of one student and as he called me vile name l struck him with the back of my hand He stumbled to the ground and after getting up placed him under arrest. He resisted and Patrolman Doughan came over from the other side of the street to my assistance. Doughan took hold of the students left arm and at this juncture Patrolman Wiser came up with several other students. Wiser pushed between Doughan and the pris- oner, and then clasped his arms around him, saying, What are you doing" l tried to tell him, and all the time Wiser was pulling my prisoner away and said as he was doing so, You can't take a man off the campus He said he knew the man and after saying this he and DonnelIy took the student away made no protest because I did not wish to have any trouble with the campus officers"
 Patrolman Doughan told the same story of the affair, and spoke of Bow CTS coolness.
 Patrolman Wiser said: q was stand ing about midway of the campus just after midnight on October 19 when l heard a number of the boys hollering and singing at the Chapel street en- trance. I started over there with Pa trolman Donnelly. When about ten feet from the crowd I saw Bowers hit a man and knock him down Doughan was then about fifteen feet away and did not come near during the whole time We have always told the stu dents that any officer could arrest then on the campus for acts committed on the streets. I stepped up to prevent breach of the peace, as it IS lald down in our books that we are to prevent crime if possible, as we'll as to detect if Bowers turned to Donnelly and said Do you know this man" Donnel- lv said he did and then the students walked away with us. Bowers struck two men to my knowledge and to save himself in this matter he tells thlS story"
 Patrolman Donnelly stated that as he arrived on the scene he met student Lowell who said that Bowers had struck him. The patroiman then con- tinued T had a crowd behind me when I arrived. I saw a scuf1le between Bowers and a student, but saw no inter- ference by Wiser. Bowers asked me if I knew the man, and I told him 1 did. Bowers and Doughan then left the campus"
