HEARING or CHARGES.
POLICE CAPTAINS KANE AND CHAM
BERS BEFORE COMMISSION

QUESTIONED CLOSELY BY PREsI-
DENT PYLE REGARDING WIND
ER's ARREsT-oFFICER MULLIN
RESIGNS - MINOR CHARGES
HEARD.
The charges of neglect of duty pre-
ferred by the Police Commission
against Captains Robert w. Chambers
and Thomas A. Kane were heard before
the board last night.
The allegations grew out of the
Winder-Vincent harness case, which
has been hashed and rehashed before
the public.
The evidence produced last night was
exactly the same as that brought out
at the preliminary hearing some weeks
ago The two captains produced no
witnesses in their defense, as they evil
IDENTIFY believed there was nothing for
them to prove
The session lasted until 11.30 O'Clock,
but no action was taken. that part OF
the proceedings being put of until
Thursday night next.
The proposition advanced that the
commission will do away with the Of
fees Of captain and appoint in their
stead two complaint clerks seems to
have no foundation. Section Of chap
ter 6,-charter, laws and ordinances OF
the city of Wilmington, provides that
the police force shall consist of zone
chief of police, two captains of police
and such number of sergeants." It is
the general opinion that unless the
Board Of Police Commissioners sets
aside the city charter, it cannot abol-
ish the positions of police captains.
Officers Lyons, Davidson, Ralstor
land Murphy were charged with neglect
of duty. Lyons and Davidson were
charged with being seventeen minutes
late in making report last Sunday
morning. When questioned the Officers
stated that they had gone through {
hard nights work. After getting warn
from exercise they became chilly early
in the morning owing to their clothes
being damp with perspiration. The!
went into a watch box at Water ant
Shipley streets to get warm and fel
asleep. They failed to waken until
was seventeen minutes past their tim
to report
Officers Ralston and Murphy wer
also charged with missing a report
The patrolmen claimed that they wer
b acting under instructions, and wer
following suspicious characters. In
stead of reporting from the box Office
Ralston reported from telephone a
the Wilmington Transfer Company
stable. He claimed that box No. Il
Eighth and Church streets, was out Q
order, and when shutting it the nois
made could be heard six squares. H
! did not deem it advisable to use It o
the night in question. No action wa
e taken.
t Chief Dolan's report of the typhoi
S fever was read and accepted. The ne'
= meeting will take place on Thursda
4 evening.
President of Council w. S. Alexand'
and Members Kane, Groves and Will
were present at the hearing.
