And right here the Deputy Commissioner
OF the Police Department Of New York

body in tho room. Marrinan quietly left
the room, and IL was with the greatest
difficulty that he was afterward induced
TO talk All he would say was that his uni

There had been no time 10 clean up during
the night, and his clothing was soiled when

HtnE's A CONTRAST.
The case tina, followed that of Marrinan
before D~very was one that 10y contrast
made Marrinans punishment all the more
remarkable. Capt. Price had Policeman
O'Brien down from the fremont station. He
said that o Br,en was supposed to he on duty
but that he found him In saloon drunk.
He ordered him to 60 TO tho stationhou-e.

that while he wasn't SURE O'Brien was
drunk on the night mentioned. he was
quite sure he had been drinking For
himself O'Brien said that he went into
the saloon % get a cigar. That was the
oass presented to Devery. Here is his
Judgment oft
Everybody seems TO want 20 snash
this man O'Bricn. The only trouble with
him is tina, he u too good. There amt a
crook or a burglar on the other side Of the

put him up against your two wardmsn.
Price, for skill a. an oficsr. fv--yrody

Devery. This case Is DISMISSED
Capt Price looked amused and O'Brien
grinned all over Almost equally inter

He was charged with insubordination.

him to open his mouth and blow Ia his face.
He explained that h. wanted 10 smell his
