EX-0FFICIAL

,0r sometime Il former III, mlrr Of the
Wilmington Police Commission has been
gong about the city making charges and
accusations agnins, Chirl Massey with
ont cause. This member, il is said. is
'haking the charges in the hnncS Of
h"netttng another mrnlhrr of t!.r DO
partment who has aspirations. II has
been rlniored in police circles TO" sIlnc-
ticr that the eX-cominisSiun"r had enter
ed into an agreement with D"nloc,alic
paper to furnish il witt, INFORMATION.
1t is said that the story is W 'ltl, and
for some days the members of the depart.
mcnt have been looking for it to appear.
Those who know anything about the nat.
ter know that the charges made ny the
eN-cOnmiSSioncr are without fullnuat ion.
he administration of CHIEF Massey has
been very clean and the effort to anirch
his reputation of ability as chief is be-
li'ved to he the result Of an old grll,lyr.
The story is all the more interesting
when it is known thar this same ex-rm-
missioner and other officials of the de-
partmrnt were suspected of brilg well
acquainted with the fact that gambling
was going on III the city
That they were receiving benefits from
the games was charged on the str ct and
in official circles, but none of the talk
ever found Ms way into the newspapers.
Now that this official is out of office
he seeks to make it uncomfortable for
tho heads Of the department and to
cmhalrass it in every way possible.
