who was in uniform. was taken to the Eldridge
street station by Roundsman Edward Kelly.
Arbrousky accuses Dermody of robbing him
of a diamond cravat pin and q gold watch and
chain.
Dermody was sent to tho Eleventh precinct
from the First yesterday to watch some
cafes along Orchard street, which are under
the suspicion of the police for violations of the
excise and other laws. The Eldridge street
squad did not have a sufficient number of po-
lice to cover fully its precinct, so men were de-
tailed from the Old Slip station, where there
are more than enough policemen on Sundays.
Dermody was posted on Orchard street,
where the policemen were supervised by
Roundsman Kelly. Arbrousky came to Kelly
that "a policeman had robbed him. He point

The Sergeants at the Old SLIP station were
especially Indignant at their subordinate's act.
Dermody became a policeman on Oct. q,
1896. He was then Just over 81 years Of age.
He had been a driver up to that time and
seemed competent to do good work as a police
man. Within three months, however, COM
plants were made against him. First the
r0undsman found that he didn't visit all of his
beat with anything like regularity. He failed
to try all the doors and do other things which
are OF Importance according to the Book Of
Rules. Sometimes he wasn't on HIS beat ut all.

been made against him.
Dermody says that he went into the caf6 to
stop q row. and that he found the articles he Ia
accused Of stealing on the floor. He put them
in his pocket, he AYERS, to take them TO the po-
lice station. He told the keeper of the cafe that
he could recover the lost property by going to
the police station and identifying It.
