The Officer York Case.

In the report of the proceedings of
the city council of Wednesday night
and published in the Journal yesterday
morning, reference was made to the
appearance before the board of alder
men of +. w. Clair, Esq, counsel fol-
Philip York who was recently dis
charged from the police force of this
city.
The Journal has heard considerable
comment on the manner in which Mr..
Clair was received in the aldermen's
room and so the reporter has pried in
to the case. The discharge of Mr.,
York never got into the papers because
he was just quietly dropped from the
force, discharged by the mayor, who
was afterward supported in his actor
by the board of municipal officers. Ii
is acknowledged by the mayor that
Mr.. York was not given a hearing, tho
mayor in his blunt way saying he did
not think it necessary. Mayor Reding-
ton never does anything by halves.
He goes to the bottom of everything
and gets there quick. In the case in
question the mayor says that man
by the name of Andrew Bowen was
arrested by York and locked up in the
police station. Immediately after the
mayor was telephoned by well known
citizen that the arrest was unwar-
ranted and brutal.
Mayor Redington began to investi-
gate. He went to see Bowen and
found the man badly pounded. H.
had the worst looking face that l ever
saw on a man." said the mayor. DR..
Boulay told the mayor that Bowen
was badly hurt. York was one OF
Mayor Redington's appointees and th'
mayor was mad all through. so wher
the board of aldermen met last Mon
day night, the mayor told the story to
the aldermen and said he wanted the
officer removed. The board voted to
remove the man from Office.
Mayor Redington says that he salts
fed himself that there had been for
some time bad blood between York ano
Bowen. City Marshal Call says that
York had spoken to him about Bowen
and had suggested that at any time
the marshal desired Bowen's arrest to
give the case to him and he would at
tend to it. York seemed particularly
anxious. so the marshal says. to arrest
Bowen. At the meeting of the munic-
ipal officers Wednesday evening, the
mayor called upon the city marshal to
tell what he knew about the case.
Il don't want to say anything about
| it. your honor said the marshal. II
| don't care if you don't, you've got to
and that's all there is about it. ]
want this fairly understood and Their
| if the gentlemen want to reinstate this
man, they can for all l care" said the
mayor. The city marshal told what he
knew about the case closing by saying
| that Bowen was small man that a
13-year- boy could arrest.
Mr.. Glars position is that it was
