BOLGER SAYS GUILTY.
Democratic Member of board Of Police
Examiners Files u Report.

j. 7. Bolger. the democratic mcmber of
the board of police examiners filed with
Mayor Burke Friday his report on the
hearing on the charges against officer r..
X. Coon. The report OF the majority
of the board said Mr.. Coon was not gull
ty Mr.. Boger's report follows:
James l.. Burke, Mayor, Sir:-Aftor
listening to the testimony of the charges
against Officer f.. r. Coon. Charge one
! consider as sustained, as all the testi-
mony presented against Officer Coon were
certified copies of the city records. and
his police applications We're sustained 10y
sworn certificates before Notary publtcs
and duly signed by the same.
All the evidence in favor of officer Coon
was hearsay and not single witness was
sworn to tell the truth.
In regard to charge two, ] find no mo-
tive for Mrs. Alard to make a false
charge. She no doubt had been i'm the
habit of using drugs but that does not
justify an officer to make love or fondlo
her in her hour of trouble to make future
engagements to teach him the French
language. The testimony shows that she
rebuked Officer Brothers for his loud and
staggering language and called his at
tention to the fact that Officer coon was
acting like gentleman but this was slid
on their first entrance which shows that
she had at that time no malice towards
Officer Coon. He tcstiics that she gave
him revolver, no one save her give il

In the house. Brothers testilios that. bo-
fore he went down stairs Officer Coon
must have gone into n room whore she
was alone or some officer would have
seen the transaction.

that they were not separated before test
