POLICEMAN CENSURED.
Recommendation That Patrolma n
Virgins Ec Fined Approved.

| Final action was today taken by the Dis
/ trict Commissioners in the case of Police
man o. J. Virgins. of the Sixth precinct,
who was placed on trial before the Police
! Trial Officer April 90 last, charged with
/ gross neglect of duty. Virgins was charg-
! cd with having failed and neglected to
| properly guard certain premises at No. 10
| X Street northeast, on March 81. when the
house had been entered by some person
or persons who cut the lead pipe in the
dwelling and prepared to remove the metal.
! II is alleged that Virgins was fully cog
nizant of all the details.
1T seems to me, said Major Sylvester.
commenting on the case. that a good.
careful officer, who was in possession Of all
the information had by Private Virgins.
would have notified the station that il was
necessary for him. or some other officer
to be in the vicinity of the premises where
the thief had buried his plunder in order
10 insure capture.
while this officer is found technically
not guilty, / am forced to the Conclusi sion
that he exercised poor discretion and lit
tie judgment in the matter.
He should have known that IL was nee
essary for him to constantly partoi lis beat
ard that while he was doing this there

pared to capture the individual who had
cut out the pipes. and, who. in nine cases
oft OF ten. would return to carry of the
booty.
Private Virgins was grossly Negligent,
in my opinion, in not notifying the st2tioa
that it was necessary for assistance to ap-
prehend the thief, when he found that he
could not leave his beat to conceal him
self for that purpose.
property. There were various courses he
could have adopted to accomplish the ar
rest of the thief, If he had been disposed
to do so. 1t was an INSTANCE CT bad judg-
ment, he displaying poor police qualifca-
tions.
Il recommend that he be removed from
the force. unless the Commissioners, in
their judgment. are disposed to give the
officer credit for an otherwise clear record
since his appointment. in which case a fine
OF at least Sa5 should be imposed. and
Private Virgins warned that in case Of
future neglect Of any kind he will be re-
moved from the force"
Commissioner Wight, who has immedi-
ate supervision over the Police Depart
ment sent the following recommendation
to his associates. which was adopted by
them today:
Il have given careful consideration to
this case. and while feel toward the Of
ficer very much as the Major and Superin-
tepdent does. l believe that the record of
the officer should entitle him to considera-
ton. and | am disposed to give him an
other chance. l approve the recommended
ton that he be fined s25 and warned that
in case of future neglect he will be re-
moved from the force.
There seems to have been looseness in
regard to this case throughout the sta
tion generally, and l trust that better
methods will be displayed in regard to
such cases as are brought to the attention
Of the tation-keeper hereafter than the
record of this case would indicate as be-
ing in vogue at present.

abroad a large crowd of personsa soon
gathered and a search was instantly insti-
tuted for Uhler. His body was found in
the loft OF the wagon shed. From the spot
where he murdered his wife bloody tracks
led to the place he chose to end his own
existence. The ladder he used in ascend
ing to the loft was smeared with blood
and his hands stained TO such an extent
that it is believed he examined the wom-
ans wounds to assure himself that they
were fatal. A plow line was about his
neck.
Last February Mrs. Uhler joined a Pc
cuiiar local sect. Her husband. who was a
sober, industrious man, and lived happily
with her, earnestly desired to join the
church at the same time. but refrained on
account of conscientious scruples. as he
felt that he did not possess sufficient faith.
The matter weighed so heavily on his
mind that it became deranged. His trou-
bles were greatly exaggerated by felon on
this thumb. from which he suffered ex-
cruciating pain. He recently made threat
to take his life if he couldn't settle
something" but his insanity was re-
garded of a harmless type.
Uhler was forty-seven years old His
wife was two years his junior. She was
daughter Of Abraham Good, a retired farm
er of Mount Joy.

al horror has just been perpetrated in the

The victim was a young Italian woman,
and the perpetrator an Italian quack, who
says that he receives his medical knowl-
edge direct from God. Mrs Nicoloce was
suffering with some affection of the throat
that rendered it almost impossible for her
to swallow. and Dicario a kind of voodoo
doctor was called in to treat her. He put
a few questions, and declared it case Of
possession by the devil. the devil having
taken lodging in her throat He then
gravely declared that the evil one would
have to be killed, and grasping the young
woman, he belabored her and stabbed her
in the throat with a pair of scissors The
same treatment was repeated a day later,
but the husband Of the victim finally
Thought matters had gone too far, and
called in a legitimate physician. Mrs. Mic
oloce was found to be at the point of death
and charges were made against Dicario,
and he was arrested. Whether or not the
woman will live cannot be told, but she

hood can afford. and feeling against the
