ATTORNEY WAS ABRUPT.
Police Desk Sergeant and Lawyer
Passed Sharp Words.

Police Desk Sergeant and Lawyer
Passed Sharp Words.
These Cracker sergeants think they
are so great"
In this rather informal manner John
E. Myrick, Esq, addressed Desk Ser
geant Henry W. Baughn at police
headquarters last night and later sharp
words passed between the attorney and
police officer. AS a result relations be-
tween the two are somewhat strained.
aSergt Baughn was busy at the desk
when Mr.. Myrick entered the office and
made use of the language quoted
above. He desired to see a, client and
had made known his purpose in visit
ing police hea dquarterS. Sergt
Baughn was absorbed in his work and
seemingly did not hear what the attor-
ney was sa ying. Mr.. Myrick said some
thing else without attracting the atten-
ton Of the officer and then for the third
time addressed Sergt. Baughn rather
abruptly.
The desk sergeant for the first time
looked up and announced that he had
a name. Mr.. Myrick said that he was
aware of this, but that he had thought
he knew him well enough to address
him in a familiar manner. After some
little controversy the attorney went to
the station house and had a conference
with his client. Then Mr.. Myrick re-
turned and had something more to
say to .Sergt. Baughn.
You thought you were smart and
called me down, but you don't cut any
ice with me-" said the lawyer. Sergt.
Baughn controlled himself. and stated
that he wanted no argument in the Of
flee and that he did not propose to be
interfered with. If Mr.. Myrick had
any grievance he was told to go to
higher authority. In police parlance
the desk sergeant and the lawyer
"chewed the rag for several minutes,
during which it was given out that in
the future each must place handle
to the name Of the other. The incident
occurred just before the night relief
was put out, and was talked about on
the street after the men went on duty.
