PatrolmaD GIoer Tried

Chief Austin preferred charges against Patrolman J. w. Gloer, specifying conduct unbecoming an officer. MT. Gloer was rep resented by Zimmerman & Carr, attorneys, who pleaded not guilty for him. The specific charge against MT. Gloer was that he had been in the wine room of the Crescent Saloon with a woman and had taken three or four glasses of beer with her while in there.
 In substantiation of this charge Andrew Long, who first gave the information; the proprietor of the saloon, and Martin Young. and his bartender, Philip Barley, were called syld testified Their testimony was somewhAt conflicting as to details, but all stated that MT. Gloer and the woman were in the wine room together and had from two to four glasses of beer.
 MT. Gloer admitted that he had been in the room with the woman, and that they had taken two or three glasses of beer. He said, however, that he was not on duty at the time and had not been since the night before, and that while going out South Twentieth street he saw the woman, whom he had known as respectable wo- man in Atlanta, to go into the wine room and that he had gene in there to speak to her.
 The Chief stated that MT. Gloer bore an excellent reputation and that he had made a good officer and that no charge of un- becoming conduct had heretofore been preferred against him.
 Arguments for the defense were made by MT. Zimmerman and MT. Carr, after which the Commission. on motion of Dr. Mobley, went into executive session, and in a few minutes announced their decision, reduc- ing MT. Gloer to the ranks and making him No. 3 of the supernumeraries and stopping his pay for the time he had lost, about three weeks.
 On opening the doors the Commission ad- journed until o'clock Friday night
