MALLoN TAKES HIS MEDICINE HARD.

Another Of the several patrolmen recently SEN

would say only: When you go up against the

In his appeal for help, which has been sent to all
the patrolmen Mallon acknowledges the aid they
have previously given him. His funds all
hausted, he declares; sickness and death have ap-
peared in his family, and his suspension from duty
since last August used up all his savings. His
circular declares further:
