POLICEMEN NOT GUILTY.
Findings of Trial Beard Approved by
COmmi SsiOners.

Policemen w. T. Hollidge and T. I. Nev-
lit were recently before the police trial
board, charged with conduct unbecoming
officers 1t is said that Sunday, the 25d of
last September, the policemen mentioned
arrested William Brewer, colored, and Car
rie Brewer, his wife, although no warrant
had been sworn out, and charged them
with the larceny of certain chickens, the
property of William Cawthorne. The de-
PENDANTS were promptly acquitted IN the
Police Court. Messrs. w. NJ. Gait Co.,
by whom William Brewer has been employ
ed for number Of years. entered COM
plant against the policemen. The firm,
among other things. said in communfca-
ton to the superintendent Of police:
This occurrence not only deprived the
man of his days work and caused him and
his wife to spend the night In cells, but
also caused an outlay of $5 for lawyer.
We respectfully ask you to investigate this
case and advise us If the officers were
vested with authority to act in this way.
for the good reason that If it was not
thoriZed by your manual 1t may be the
means of saving the next citizen, in a like
predicament, the embarrassment and mon
ey outlay that emDloye was subjected
to, and last, but not least, the retention of
his or her good name.
The verdict of the trial board was not
guilty. Maj. Sylvester submitted the mat
ter to the Commissioners with the recon-
mendation that the finding of the trial
board be approved.
''This conclusion is reached explained
Maj. Sylvester, lin view of the fact that
the party complaining to the officers at the
time identified the stolen property in the
possession of one of the parties arrested,
and the evidence was conclusive. Yet, in
my opinion, in order that harsh treatment
and unfavorabe comment may be avoided,
it would be the better policy If members of
the force. when called upon to make ar
rests for trivial matters, would urge COM
planning witnesses to procure a warrant
and not act hastily when there is no emer-
gency.
The recommendation of the major and
superintendent has been approved by the
Commissioners,
