DAVIS RAIDED THE PLACE
The Police Officer Accused of Strikinf
a Prisoner

Ofncer Harvey Davis brought D. K. Nc
laughlin and a notorious girl named Jen-
kins into the police station about o'clock
made at the request of the girls father,
Mclaughlin was released on his own rec
ognizance and the girl allowed to go home
with her father.
The girl has heavy scar on her left
cheek and for several years past she has
been going the pace. She has been a
source of disgrace to her parents and has
been sent to the Higland asylum several
times She was Intoxicated last night and
met Mclaughlin and accompanied him tu
his room in the Sylvan house on East
First street. Her father heard where she
was and asked Davis to get her. Jenkins
represented to the officer, so Davis
claimed, that the girl was merely out on
parole from the asylum and that Nc
Laughlin was subject to prosecution for
having enticed the girl to his room.
In spite of the notoriety of the creature,
Davis went to McLaughlin's door and
raped. Mclaughlin refused at first to
open until the girl had got on her clothes,
and when he did Davis he claims, showed
him over a washstand and beat him in the
face with his club. Davis denied having
struck Mclaughlin, but the latters face
was badly bruised and swelled, in corrobo-
ration of his statements. Inasmuch as
jenkins said he was willing that McLaugh-
lin should be released on his own recog-
nizance he was allowed to go. In view of
all the circumstances 1t does not seem
probable, however, that Jenkins will VEN
ture to prosecute Mclaughlin, as the aban-
doned character of the Jenkins girl could
be readily proved.
