CRITICIZED THE POLICE
A Complainant in a Battery Case AiIeg
Negligence Of Duty


Negligence of Duty
A man named Taylor has addressed a
note to several of the newspapers, in
which he severely criticizes certain
members of the police force for neglect
of duty. Taylor is the complaining wit
ness in battery charge against one
Ray Darr, mere boy. who thrashed
Taylor because he claimed the latter had
applied a vile epithet to his sister. Both
are residents of Vernon.
In his message Taylor claims that Of
ficer Robbins failed to serve the war
rant on Darr until four days after its
issuance, and that officer Long, to whom
had been intrusted the subpoonaing Of
the witnesses. had failed to make an ef-
fort to do so and that when the case
was called in court and no witnesses
were present made affidavit that he had
been unable to find them.
officer Robbins says in relation to the
matter that he served the warrant with
in two hours after he had received 1t,
on June "a, and landed Darr in court, so
Taylor must be wrong here. Officer
Long was given a list of witnesss to
subpoena, but there were either no ad-
dresses given where to find them or they
were so vague as to be useless. Streets
not down on the city map were named
as being those on which they lived and
others naming a known street said the
witness lived two blocks east or west,
but from where was not stated. Con-
seQuently he was unable to find the wit
nesses. The whole matter is a trivial
one at best, and the officers claim to have
done their whole duty in the premises,
Taylor to the contrary Notwithstanding.

dissolved the order restraining the street
superintendent from causing the assess
ment levied for the opening up of Wall

delinquent July 9th. The effect of this
order of court is that these assessments
are now delinquent and so soon as the
order is signed the 3 per cent penalty
prescribed by law will attach, and will
of necessity be added to the assessment.
