for police protection. In all $3.50
was collected.
AS soon as Chief Waller and the
police department learned of this
an order was issued to arrest all
these Frenchmen on sight. This
was done to eradicate from their
minds the idea that they were to
receive police protection at all
and that the money collected by
Dufresne was simply a tribute
levied on behalf of himself and
some tenderloin politicians.
AS soon as the Frenchmen were
arrested they howled that they had
paid 500 for police protection and
demanded that they be let alone.
Emil Beauchamp was the loudest
in the cutlery. An investigation was
conducted by Mayor Daggett and
Corporation Counsel Geragherty in
to these charges.
