Police Practices

yer Will Be There

Police Commissioners Wirsching and
Long met with the mayor yesterday after
noon for the purpose of devising plans for
the investigation set afoot by Richard A (.
Colver, the newspaper man, at the last
meeting of the board. Colver then pre-
sented facts and dates tending to prove
that for some time past the police depart
ment has, contrary to the statutes and the
constitution, frequently imprisoned inno-
cent citizens, holding them in secret dur
ance, away from their friends or attorneys,
and having subsequently to release them
because they were proved later to have
been innocent of any wrong doing.
The committee yesterday, after studying
over the situation, determined upon full
and open hearing into the charges made
by Colver. settling upon Tuesday after
noon at o'clock as the time for inquiry
into the same.
Police Clerk GriCley was instructed to
subpoena for the occasion Chief Jailer Louis
Zewiecke of the city prison, Detectives
Bradsh. Moffet and Goodman, Reporter
Colver, and such other Witnesses as are ex-
pected to throw any light upon the source
of the recent secret history of the police
department.
The books of the department showing
the arrests made or rather sh owing lack
of the names entered after being made,
will also be on hand.
The members of the committee all say
that the coming inquiry is to be a very
thorough affair, and that the charges made
will all of them be probed to the ottom.
