Decatur denied absolutely statements

mated him. The court is thus left to
decide between the testimony under

who hazed them.

This $4,000 robbery case is not by
any means the only blot on the police
department. That stolen trunk Incl
dent is as bad or worse than the Nc
Whittier case, although the amount in
volved is not so large. A thief stole
lady's trunk in Denver containing
$1,000 worth of sealskins, dresses,
iewelry and so forth. The trunk was
brought to Salt Lake and offered with
its contents to secondhand dealer
for SIS. The dealer was suspicious
and notified the police. An officer in
| formed the dealer that 1t was all right
and gave a written o. K, although
the man who had the trunk said it did
not belong to him. The dealer bought
| it and contents for the paltry sum
named. The owner traced the prop.
erty and came to Salt Lake to recover
It. She applied to the police for as
sistance, but was told they could do
nothing for her. She then saw Sheriff
Emery, who, Notwithstanding obsta-
cles placed in his way by the police,
recovered large part of the stolen
property.
Furthermore, 1t is a well known fact
that the town for months has been
infested with bunco men and sure
thing operators, and that they have
not only not been molested by the po-
lice, but encouraged by them in their
nefarious practices. The police de-
partment is rotten and needs a thor
ough cleaning out There is no poll
tics in all this. It is a matter Of con-
cernment to all good citizens.
Instances of police depravity are in.
creasing. 1t is known as a positive
fact that crook who occupied a room
ICn West Temple street turned a trick
on verdant green chap and raked
in good many dollars. The victim
reported it to the police and told them
where tue crook could be found. The
police had to make a show of doing
something, but before they started out
to catch the thief one of their number
telephoned the fellow that they were
coming and that he had better get
away. He took the hint and of course
wasn't caught.
Another bunco man feeced an in
nocent out of $95 and a diamond ring
The police heard of it and went afte,
the thief to get their share of the
plumber. At his room they found his
female company who refused to tell
where her husband was, remarking
that she knew all the officers wanted
with him was to make him "divy up,"
and that he was better entitled to the
spoils than the police. Later the bun
co man went to the police station and
squared himself by giving one of the
officers $25, and that settled it.
The administration boasts that it
has stopped gambling in the city. A
favored few who contribute literally
to the police as individuals are, how
ever, allowed to run gambling games
and ply the trade of bunco steerers
with impunity. 1t is a notable fact
that the revenue which the city form
erly received from gamblers and wo-
men of the down has decreased vastly.
That does not mean that the vocation
of the gambler and the harlot has
been stopped, or that they go along
without being blackmailed. Not at all.
The simple fact is that the police
pocket the money instead of it being
turned into the city treasury. It is

Chief Sheets demanded an investi-
gatioua att the hands of the city coun-
Gil, and that body has undertaken to
amuse the public by enacting farce.
The council cited the newspaper men
employed on the Herald, Republican
and News to appear before them and
prove the charges that have been
niadss against sSheets.. The council
also requested the county attorney to
lay before them the evidence he has
against the chief and also desired Mr.
McWhirter to tell them his story. 1t
is hardly necessary to say that these
kind Invitations were. not accepted,
and we don't think they will be. No
matter what the. evidence might be, it
!, is pretty safe guess that the major
ity of the council will exonerate the
chief.
