The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-11-21

An incident which has occurred In this
city during the present week shows one
OF the difficulties under which the police
department is always laboring. a certain
man who was quite well known 70 the
police came to tile conclusion that he
wanted a ride and not being the owner
OF a good horse, the only way out Of the
dilemma was 20 appropriate TO his use an
animal belonging to someone else which
hc did.
Then there were reports from the own
er TO the police. and word was sent our
through all the surrounding country anu
70 all the officers in this city 10 be on the
watch for the man in this particular car
riage The man and the rig was hnally
located. bat not until the police at lhe
local station had been the recipients OF a
number Of complaints because OF their al,
legged slowness Then after the team had
been returned 10 the owner ana the man
who took il had been landed IN the sta
ton came request that nothing DC uohe
wifi him. IL appears that the parties in
terested had concluded that having got
their property back and having round an
manner OF fault with the police depart.
ment because they were the better part OF
n day I'm getting IL. il was decided that
there was no necessity for further acuon'
and that the man who was responsible TOT
all the trouble could go free.
But right here was where the pollce
take a different view OF the situation
They most seriously object 10 such a
course. They believe that when a man
breaks the law and by his acts receives
the attention OF the entire police depart
ment to say nothing OF the departments
OF other cities and towns, he should be
made 10 pay the penalty because OF the
example TO others who II there was no no
restraint would be apt To follow i'm MS
footsteps Within the past two or three
months there have been quite n mum
Der OF teams stolen from this vicinity.
The work for the most part seems 10
have been done by boys. although now
and then a man has been concerned In
tho thefts In this particular case the po-
lice knew from the hrst who was respoh-
sible. and they Will be certain 10 make an
example OF him.
