The Commissioners have recently re-
opened the case Of Policeman Charming M.
Edwards, substitute In the street-crossing
force. which involveh q, number Of inter-
esting questions. Edwards was before the
police trial board onra charge Of the nom
payment of just debt It developed that
the creditor in question had furnished
groceries to Mrs. Edwards after a separa-
ton from her husband and after being
notified not to extend further credit. The
trial board found the officer not guilty.
Major Sylvester recommended approval OF
the verdict.
Later the attorney for the plaintiff flied
a statement in which he said he was not all
lowed to present the case OF his client as to
his rights under the law, specifically stated.
The attorney claimed that as Edwards had
not been legally separated from his wife
at the time the purchases were made. and
despite the service Of notice for no more
credit. the defendant was responsible for
the debt, which Is evidenced by a judg-
ment. Major Sylvester then recommended
that the matter be referred to the corpora

ton counsel. The latter has returned the
papers with this statement:
That the judgment In this case is based
upon just debt within the meaning OF
the manual of the police department is very
clear to my mind, and am of the opinion
that the trial board erred in finding the ac
cused not guilty; the finding should have
been guilty."
Commissioner West moved that the pa
pers be returned to the police department
with directions to the superintendent to
instruct the trial board to render q verdict
of guilty. in accordance with the opinion,
