ACKNOWLEDGMENT
COIORED POLICEMAN ACCUSES
BROTHER OFFICER.
Alleged That Name Of W. w. Martin
Was Forged to Note
for $40.

One of the number of warrants received
at police headquarters from the Police
Court today explains the result of an in
vestigation that has been conducted In the
police department during the past two
weeks. In the affidavit one colored police
man accuses another colored member or
the force with forgery.
The defendant in the criminal proceeding
is Walter B. Dorset and the complainant
is w. w. Martin. Dorsett is connected
with Lieut. Byrnes command in the second
2r~cinct. while Martin is doing duty in the
eighth precinct under Lieut.. Jordan. In
the warrant issued by the clerk of the
court it is alleged that the defendant
forged Martins Endorsement to a promis-
sorry note for $40. The note in question
reached the National Capital Bank after
having gone through the hands of money
lender. Martin expressed surprise when he
received notice that the bank had such a
note for collection. He mentioned the mat
ter to his lieutenant and Maj. Sylvester
was later advised of it. An investigation
was ordered and was made by Capt. Cross
Martin did not care to prosecute his
brother officer. but the good of the service,
the police officials declared, demanded that
the matter be settled in court.
Payable to Martins Order.
1t was stated to the officials that the note
III question was one OF TOUR similar papers
and that the others had been taken up. The
notes, it is alleged, were made payable to
Martins order and. it is alleged bore a
forged Endorsement. On the note men,
toned in the warrant the name of D. X.
Jackson also appears as one of the in
dorserS
When Policeman Martin went before the
prosecuting attorney and related his story
he said he had desire to prosecute his
brother officer. They had always been
friends, he said, and he did not care to
take any action in a matter involving only
the small amount of SO. Under the cir
cumstances, however he was willing to
make an affidavit, which he did this morn
ing, as already stated.
When the accused policeman learned of
the investigation that was being made, he
called at police headquarters and made
statement, in which he asserted his inno-
cence. He is reported to have said that he
signed Martins name or had 1T done with
the consent of Martin. This Martin denies.
The policemen who are involved in the af-
fair are Virginians and were soldiers be-
fore they were appointed on the force In
July, 1896.
1t Is likely that the warrant will be
served this afternoon or tomorrow, and the
case will then be taken before Judge Scott
for hearing.
