Is the lad picked up recently by Police
man Murphy for getting into Broughton
street stores with false keys. The Re
corder discharged him, however, on ac-

Hal Schuman, 10 years old, who lives at
No. 1413 Ogeechee road, appeared at the
barracks against Mordecai. Il was wa TX
ing along the road" he said to Chief Nc
Dermott, when Mordecai came up to me
and asked to see the chain. 1 thought he
was up to some trick, and refused to give
it up, when he grabbed Ii from around my
neck and poclSeted it and left. AS soon
as l found Policeman Brown I told him,
and he sent Mordecai here. Now, chief,

Chief McDermott listened attentively I'M
I'll the lad said he intended to push the
case. This proved so amusing in the face
of a five-cent dog chain that nothing short
of a good laugh sufficed. Mordecai's moth
er appeared at the barracks later, and in
explanation, stated the chain was stolen,
having been in the family some years.

DISMISSED FOR CowARDNEss.
Policeman speight Dropped From
the Force


The police commissioners dismissed Po-
liceman Speight from the force yesterday
for cowardice. and will determine at a
meeting Saturday the course that will be
pursued in regard to policemen who have
failed to pay their debts as ordered some
time ago. 1t is possible there viii be other
dischares at that meeting unless instruc-
tons are obeyed.
This is not the first time Policeman
Speight has found himself in trouble with
the commission on the same charge. Some
time ago ne was arraigned for cowardice
but for some reason was acquitted. The
rules requires that an officer charged with
this offense shall either be acquitted out
right or discharged. The proof was not al
together satisfactory last time. 1t is said
which may account for the aCquittal
The last charges were preferred by Pat
O'Neil, who was stabbed by two men who
attacked him recently. Shortly after the
difficulty Policeman SpeIght seems to have
showed up and O'Nen point
ed out his assailants to the
officer Speight arrested them,
but seems to have allowed them to escape
when they made threats. They were brag-
gadOcios and are said to have inundated
Policeman Speight. At any rate the main
offeLIer escaped and was after arrested
by the detectives. O'Neil reported the Of
ticer to Chief McDermott and preferred
charges of cowardice. After looking into
the facts thoroughly the commission came
TO the conclusion the charges were cor
rect Policeman Speight wears one stripe,
having been on the force five years.
Unless debts of certain policemen are
raid by Saturday, it is probable there will
be other discharges. IAN police are paid
by taxpayers" said Commissioner E. C.
Gleason, land for that reason the COM
mission does not think they should be al
lowed to defraud those who pay them
their salaries. This rule the commission
proposes to strictly enforce, for the rea-
son that we do not intend to be worried
with complaints from merchants unable to
collect their accounts from members of
the police force"
1t was decided TO let the matter go over
until Saturday, when another meeting will
be held All who have been warned to
settle their accounts will be brought be-
fore the commission. and If reasons salts
factory to the commission are not given
for the delay, several discharges may fol-
low. The commission is determined there
shall be no chronic delinquents on the
force, or, at least. that there shall be 10
deluge of complaints every month.

Mr. John Rourke called on the police
yesterday to arrest Albert Jenkins, Alex
williams and Cyrus Williams, who were
caught stealing scrap iron and other things
from his foundry on West Bay street.
The trio was taken to the barracks and
lodged there for trial before Recorder
Ravenel this morning.
There has been general complaint of late
on account of a gang of little negroes
nfesttng the city and plundering houses
where the occupants were found away.
The police have met with considerable
trouble from this source, and in every case
where possible have arrested the Offend
ers AS a general thing, they are dealt
with rather severely, otherwise il would
be almost impossible for the police to stop
the evil, except at great disadvantage.
Recorder Rayenel has caught on to the
small boy annoyance, which he Is andeav-
oring to stop by a strict administration
of the law. Usually. it is claimed the Of
tenders should be released on account of
their age, but 1t has been the experience
in the police department that adherng to
this rule does not pay
