for larceny. She said he could not do
it, and scuffe ensued. during which
the woman bit Officer Hurleys thumb.
The Wallace woman called for help,
and her sister responded, and she and
Johnson took the woman away from the
officer. She cursed and abused him
vilely, and someone threw brick at
him. He thought it was Jane Wallace,
though both she and Johnson had
bricks In their hands. He did not see

son he did not make the arrest was be-
cause he was overpowered Officer
Hurley called for help. but no one re-
sponded.
A GOOD OFFICER.
Upon being questioned by Attorney
Walter II. Hayes, Mr.. Smith stated
that among the best class Of people In
that vicinity OFFICER Hurley was consid-
cred good officer, and had done more
than anyone else to abate the disturb
ance that frequently occurred among
the colored people. The negroes hated
him. i,
Chief Dolan testified that the Wal
lace woman reported to him that Offi-
Ger Hurley had struck her, but upon
examination he could find no marks
This closed the testimony, and the case
was submitted without argument
JUDGE BALLS REMARKS.
In passing sentence Judge Ball stated
that there were no facts in the case to
warrant an arrest on charge OF lar
ceny. That such an arrest would have
been an Illegal and fraudulent one;
that Officer Hurley had nc right to lay
hands on the woman, and because he
was an officer in uniform did not JUS
tify him In the matter. but made it
worse. 1t was a serious case for an
officer clothed with authority and a
supposed conservator OF thepeace to act
in such a manner II was a disgrace
to himself and the entire police force.
His honor then imposed the fine above
mentioned.
Much sympathy for the disgraced Of
fcer was felt as the fine was thought
to be unusually severe, especially as
|Onicer Hurley had just lost his posi-
ton. Open predictions we're made that
the negroes over Eleventh street
will now consider they have full sway.
