Eleven unhappy policemen stamped about in
the hallway Of Police Headquarters yesterday,
wondering where they were at. They were the
eleven whom Mayor Gleason beheaded when
they were on the Long Island City force. They
sued and got back. The Supreme Court ordered

J. Grant. took them to Mulberry street and de-
manded OF the board that the order be carried
out. BE was told that it would be. and marched
them down to the force clerks desk. where they
received their shields and manuals. Eleven
happy men went thence to the police tailors
and gave orders for eleven uniforms to be made

were to go on duty. Meanwhile the Corpora
ton Counsel called up President York and told
him not to recognize them until he had consid-
cred whether to appeal their case or not. They

came necessary to get them away from them
again. and IL was done by stratagcm.

duty. as per order, Sergeant Flood met them in
The Chiefs Office and asked them If they all had

They did. and the Sergeant grabbed, them,
