KNOCKED CAPTAIN DOWN
Story Told of PoLceman-One U'ho
Has Resigned Silent.

II story that went the rounds in police cir
cles last night and excited much comment has
any fact for a basis. Commissioner AIcAdoo is
considering one of the worst cases of insubordi-
nation in the ranks Of the department that has
recently come 10 light.
The captain OF an uptown precinct, it was
said. had last Thursday night ordered one Of his
men TO remain after the midnight platoon was
turned out. The man had been found intoxi-
Gated on post, and the captain reprimanded him
severely. The policeman did not take the re-
buke kindly and retorted in kind raking up
some unpleasant Incidents I'm his superior's
career, and ended by giving the captain a stun
ming blow on the jaw, which feIled him the
floor.
The angry policeman then flung his shield
into the captains face and declared that he and
all the other captains and the department gen
orally could go TO -. The captain had to be
helped into his private room by two other po-
licemen.
The ,blotter of the East Ssth-st. station. where
Captain John T. Stephenson is In command,
shows that Policeman Frank Stephenson. on the
force for nine years. had been absent from duty
without leave since Thursday. and that his res
ignation was in the hands of COMMISSIONS Nc
Adoo.
East S3d-st., admitted last night that he had
had some words with Captain Stephenson and
that he had sent in his resignation
IT won't say anything about what happened.
accepted and I'm not going TO talk until then"
will you deny that you struck Captain
Stephenson" he was asked.
No, won't deny IL; nor l won't affirm il.
I'm keeping my mouth shut"
Captain Stephenson could not be found last
night.

NAY BE OLD BOTTLE.
Coroner Thinks Fatal Ginger 4lc
F0U0red Use for Poison.

But little additional light was thrown yesterday
the mystery surrounding the death of Joseph
Kunkel. the truck driver of No. 333 Nassau-ave
Brooklyn, who died d week ago yesterday from the
effects OF cyanide Of potassium in ginger ale. Po
lice Captain Summers last night made a report to
Coroner Williams on the results of his investiga-
ton According to his report. after Kunkel swal-
lowed the ginger ale ne remarked 10 his wife that
il tasted bitter. The report also says the wife
queer. II then that her husband collapsed
Mrs. Kunkel became i'll from the small quantity
she tasted and neighbors gave her hot milk TO
counteract It's effects. Coroner Williams said last
evening:
The fact that Mrs. Kunkel tasted Of the stuff and
made i'll vindicates her of any suspicion that
might have been entertained against her. The po-
lice, in their report to me, said that Mrs. Kunke
to them, and they are led 70 believe that she knows
no more about who put the poison in the ginger
ale than did Kunkel. When l went 10 the saloon
where the ginger ale obtained and made an
investigation, l looked at the other bottles of gin
ger ale. and found them clear as crystal The
bottle from which Kunkei drank not clear
ana test made of the liquid since Kunkel died
showed a greensh-black color and disclosed the
presence of poison. 1t is my opinion that the bot
tie. before being rehlled, had been used by a pho
tosrapher and thrown into the street where II
FOUND ny some boy. who, on bringing II q
loon, received two cents. The bottle returned
TO the manufacturer and. with little no washing
rehlled and o saloon the poison
remaining in the bottle. The laws in relation TO
the putting Of poison IN bottles will again ne
used are very lax. and more attention should be
given 70 their enforcement 7 hope by Thursday
night TO be able to throw light on this mys-
