Policeman Who Tramped Down His

In pigeon hole in the Board of Public
Safety Office have been slowed away for
some time charges filed against Patrolmen
William Morgan and Charles A. Bernauer.
The clerk of the board had not given them
out for the public because he had feared
the two patrolmen might be somewhat dis
credited by having it known that charges
had been filed against them, though the
complaint is considered ridiculous. Robert
Chisholm filed the charges. He is a coIored
man. said to be ninety-two years old, who
was a slave before the civil war, and who
has been looked on as character" since
he has lived in this city. In the document
which he filed it is stated that Chisholm s
residence is at 62S West North street. He
signed the document with his mark, it being
written by notary public. He charges
that Patrolmen Morgan and Bernauer
went to his house, which he claims to own,
looked in at a window and finally craWled
in and ransacked" it. The old colored
man, however, does not consider the ran
part of the proceedings of the policemen.
He charges that in walking through his
yard they trampled down some of the
crops growing therein, thereby causing him
much injury and modification"
Chisholm is well known to the police
and has served time, the clerk of the safety
board says. When questioned he admitted
characters ner business of the people 'at
