ACCUSATION

INSANE.
Cunningham Loses Mind After
Being Charged With Taking
Money From Prisoner.

New York, Feb. 2s.-'Poor. faithful old
Cunningham" is the sad lament OF the
police of the East Twenty-second street
station
For ffteen years Frank n. Cunningham
was the doorman at the police station. lie
was the dorman at the station house Oct.
T. last when George Cox Jr.. banker
broker and clubman, was arrested on COM
plant of Isaac Walker. a negro porter,
who charged that Mr.. Cox tried TO take
terdam Hotel.
sergt. Quigley was at the desk wher
Mr.. Cox was taken into the station house
and he ordered the banker TO be locked
up. He had been locked UP several
hours when he induced Doorman Cunning
ham TO send message for him to f. G.
Whitaker, a member OF the Democratic
club
Mr.. Whitaker was not at the club. but
a delegation from the club made its ap-
pearance at tho station TO learn what tho
trouble was.
Mr.. Cox did not know any of the men
and they failed TO recognize him. They
called him 'beaut" and left him in the
lookup. Several hours later he was re-
leased on bail.
On being arraigned In court Mr.. Cox
proved his innocence and was honorably
discharged. He went Immediately to
Police Headquarters and preferred
charges against Sergt. Quigley.
When the case was called for trial be
fore the Commissioners II was dismissed.
And more than that, Honest Old" Cum
ningham, the doorman, was complained
of tor having accepted 10 cents from Mr.
Cox while he was at the lookup to send
a message. The doorman gave the 10
cents 10 the boy who carried the message.
When Mr.. Cox heard that the door
man who had befriended him was under
charges he was indignant.
They're going 10 break me-" said Gun
ningham TO Mr.. Cox.
'I'll have my lawyer represent you,'
said Mr. Cox, land will back you with
money and influence. Don't let this
alarm YOU for a moment"
But II did. Although the complaint
against Cunningham was dismissed, the
matter troubled him, and one day he
was missing from the station house.
Several days later he was found wan
dering aimlessly in Jersey city. The
Jersey authorities sent him TO Bellevue
Hospital. From there he was trans
ferred 20 Wards Island Insane Asylum.
When the patrolmen I'm the East Twen-
ty-second street Station House heard
where he was they collected fund for
him and had him transferred TO tho
Bloomingdale Insane Asylum. His
friends believe that he will bo cured I'm
Il few weeks.
Quigley. still fearing Mr.. Coxs wrath.
succeeded in having himself retired on a
pension.
