DA|SY'S SUIT DISMISSED.
POLICE ROBBED OF An OPPORTUN.
ITY TO SHOW THEIR HAND.
Alleged Mrs. Phillips Fails to Come
Forward With Cost Money In Her
Suit for Heavy Damages. Brought

Judge Jacobs. Of the superior court, dis
missed the suit OF Daisy Phillips VS..
Chief OF Police c. s. Reed, to recover
damages for alleged false Imprisonment
and indgnities suffered through being
searched according to police regulations
The cause Of the dismissal of the action
was the Phillips woman's failure to file
bond for security for costs made on
October last. The first order was fol-
lowed by another on January -. ordering
the bond to be filed within thirty days
and giving notice that otherwise the case
would be dismissed
Daisy Phillips. who brought the suit
for heavy damages, was one of the best
looking women that the Seattle police de-
partment has ever dealt with. One night
last September Detective Jack Williams
arrested four men In the back room OF
a North Seattle saloon. He suspected
them OF having turned a confidence
trick or two. With the men in the
saloon was this good-looking young wo-
man. Williams told her that she could
go as he had nothing against her. The
-FOUR men were taken to police headquar-
tiers in the patrol wagon. While they
were being searched the woman. who had
followed In a hack. reached the station
she claimed one OF the quartette as her
husband and Chief Reed ordered her
locked up. The police connected one of
the men with small confidence game,
and compelled him to square up. Finally
all of the gang were released.
The alleged Mrs. Philips had been very
indignant at her confinement and as soon
as she was released brought suit against
Chief Reed and bondsmen for heavy dam
ages. After the gang had disappeared
the police secured information which
would have caused the rearrest of the
entire party.
