OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL, J

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANc1sco CALI
9OS Broadway, Nov. 2.
The investigation into the conduct of ex-
Chief of Police Louis Schaffer while in
office by the Grand Jury is causing intense
interest throughout the county because OF
the connection said TO exist between some
OF Mr. Schaffer's acts and his unsuccessful
hight for Sheriff at the last election
During the past week several police
officers were before the grand jurors
Most of them are men known to be un-
friendly to Schaffer, and it is very evident
that strenuous effort is being made to
secure, an Indictment One of the wit
nesses was Officer SILL and it is said that
few months ago he arrested a man named
John Farren and sent him. to the police
station IN the patrol wagon with charge
OF drunkenness and vulgar language
Earren never was booked, and it is claimed
that Schaffer released him without au-
thority. On another occasion Officer
Scanlon Is said to have arrested two men,
lowed to 60 from the police station.
Officer Banks claims to have arrested
two bicyclists, both on the same charge.
One was prosecuted, the other released. it
is said by Schaffer. Officer Andrews ar
rested Miss Maude Lawrence and she was
taken to the City Prison and detained for
a day and half. Then Chief Schaffer
released her and put her aboard a train for
The San Francisco call., 1895-11-03

Los Angeles. Officers Rand and Curtis
also arrested men. sent them to the prison
IN the patrol wagon, but heard no more OF
them.
Some of these officers claim that their
bondsmen are in danger from the action
OF the Chief OF Police, for, should any of
these people bring actions against them
for false arrest and imprisonment, it is
claimed that the plaintiffs positions would
be materially strengthened by the fact that
several months have passed by and no
complaints have been sworn to by the
officers making the arrests.
The practice in vogue at the booking
office at the City Prison would readily ad-
NIT OF any discrimination that the Chief
of Police might feel disposed to show. The
prisoners are entered first on slips of paper
and afterward booked in the docket.
Should any Of the slips be counter
manded, it explains at once the absence of
several arrests from the register. This is
the view of the case taken by those who
ere working for the ex-Chiefs political
downfall.
Louis Schaffer, however. is not without
host of friends who are equally deter
mined that he shall not be beaten If thev
can avoid it. He claims to be able to pro-
duce ample evidence to entirely exonerate
himself, and at his own request went be-
fore the Grand Jury and told his side of
the oeoly' ne uoes noI appear 10 be under
any apprehension that an indictment will
issue.
In connection with the Grand Jury in.
vestigation must be considered the charges
against the three officers that are to be IN
vestigated Tuesday afternoon. The most
important of these is that of bribery
against Officer Banks. The evidence in
this case was worked up by Louis Schaffer,
and both sides have threatened to make
some startling disclosures before the Police
Commissioners.

Sheriff's Office of Alameda County in nv
present capacity, and l have been here
ever since. On that day, 1875, Sheriff
Harry Morse came into the courtroom
where l was reporting for the old Oakland
News and asked me if l would be his
Under Sheriff. I remember I was in no
hurry to make up my mind, because l did
not know how long the job would last.
Had l known it was for twenty years,
with the prospect of few months more,
think l would have given my answer more
readily"
When William S. Harlow first went into
the Sheriff's Office he was newspaper
man of some years standing, and mad
made reputation for himself on both
sides of the bay. His fellow workers, John
P. Irish, Arthur McEwen, Dave Nesheld,
and others equally well known. were
young men then, who have since made
themselves known to the public. Harlow,
during all these years, has handled the
Sheriff's business until he Is now regarded
as the leading authority on Sheriff law in
the country.
His first master was Harry Morse, Re
publican, under whom he served nearly
three years; Jerry Tyrrell, another Re-
publican, succeeded Morse, and served five
years. A Democrat, Charles McCleyerty,
was Harlow s next superior for two years.
w. h. Hale, Republican, now Warden of
San Quentin, served six years. w. II. h.
Hussey was the next Republican Sheriff.
He reIgned for two years and was succeed
ed by Democrat, Robert McKillican, who
after another two years was succeeded by
the incumbent, c. B. White, Populist.
Through all these administrations Harlow
has been the brains of the Office.
When the Populist Sheriff took office
last January c. E. Lloyd, the present
Chief OF Police, was put in the Sheriff's
office, and II was understood that when he
was competent to succeed the old-timer
Harlow was to be retired.
Some objection was made by Whites
bondsmen to the proposed change, but
whether their objections prevailed or not
was never learned. Lloyd is now Chief of
Police and Harlow was never removed
from the old stand.
In 1884 he published book. Harlow on
Sheriffs and Constables," which has been
accepted as a standard work in all the
Western States.
During his long term of office he has
accumulated quite rogue's museum in
the Sheriff's department. There are pis-
