ASKS AN EXPLANATION
CHAIRMAN OF ENGINEERS COM
MITTEE CALLS ON POLICE.

Harry G. Sparks, chairman Of the execu-
tive committee of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers, called a tpolice head
quarters yesterday afternoon and asked an
explanation of the delay in making public
the verdict of the police trial board in the
cases of Capts. Mathews and Mulhall OF
the police department, who are under
charges of conduct unbecoming officers, ir
that they interfered with the efforts of
railway workmen to rescue Engineer Hugh
Murphy last September from a wreck on
the Southern railway.
When Mr.. Sparks called, Maj. Sylvester
was out. The visitor was informed by In
spector Swindells,- who has charge of the
papers in the Mathews and Mulhall case,
according to Mr.. Sparks, that the papers
are being reviewed and that the verdict
will not be announced for more than
week. The inspector also stated that after
he has reviewed the papers they will have
to be gone over Oy Inspector Cross, VINO
sat on the trial board, and will then be
reviewed by the major before they are
finally transmitted to the Commissioners.
Action In Other Directions.
1--WE have waited over a month for the
verdict in the case" Mr.. Sparks said. land
as there does not seem to be the least prob
ability of obtaining satisfaction from the
police department., action In otner dlrectioHs
probably will be taken in the near future.
1t seems a shame that this matter has been
allowed to drag along in the way 1t has,
and to my mind 1t is an evidence of de-
sire on the part of the police department
to whitewaSh the matter, or at least to al
low it to die a natural DEATH 1 shall per-
sist In my efforts to force the department
to make known the verdict. l am almost
certain that the powers that be long have
known the true status of the case, and
that they are delaying the matter merely
because of the great interest being mani
tested in the case in all quarters.
81 cannot understand why body OF
apparently intelligent men who sat through
the trial of these officers and heard the tes-
timony OF the compliments could find II
necessary to review the testimony, as the
evidence was of such positive character
that any unbiased man would have given
verdict off hand. However, we are in
this matter to stay, and can even outlast
the red tape of the police department.
