Lieut. l.. II. Hollinberger, of the Fourth
Police Precinct, has forwarded to Head
quarters the report of Private Edward
Wortz, relative to the taking away from
the hooks the key OF the cell room and a
cell, by Alfred West, the janitor, without
permission. 1t appears that the janitor
while the attention of the desk sergeant
was occupied. took from the hook the
keys of the cell room and the cell where
a female prisoner was confined He was
afterward found in the ceii with the wo-
man. as he said, to clean the cell at her
request
In reporting the matter to the Superin-
tendent, Lieutenant Hollinberger stated
that the janitor had violated the rules
of the statiorhouse relative to the keys.
He declared that the janttor had deceived
the desk sergeant. and that the matter
was one of discipline.
Major Sylvester. in reporting the mat
ter to the Commissioners, recommended
that West be removed He stated that
the department had experie need several
embarrassing escapes from the station
houses, and the lieutenants in order 80
he afforded that security which is abso-
iutely necessary, should not experience a
violation OF orders such as this was.
Major Sylvester stated that he failed
to see any sufficient reason for the jani-
tor TO enter the womans CELL which in
Itself, in his opinion cause for
Vests removal. Major Sylvester also
stated that information received from th.
lieutenant of the precinct showed that
the 1anitor was not up to the standard IN
his work.
The Commissioners voted yesterday that
West be removed from duty, and that
James Strothers be appointed to nil the
vacancy, the appointment take effect Au-
