POLICE COWARD DISMISSED
Walsh, Stripped of Shield, Booted
Out of Headquarters.
For Failing to Follow a Flee"
ing Murderer.

New York City.-Stamped a cow
ard by General Bingham. who had
dismissed him from the force. Police
man Stephen s. Walsh, of the East
Fifty-frst street station, was stripped
of his shield, escorted out of Police
Headquarters by an inspector and
booted into Mulberry street, while po-
licemen and others jeered and hooted.
Never before had the department wit
messed such a spectacle. Back IN
1876, ~thirty-one years ago, Rounds
man Thomas Burns and Patrolman
White, of the old Mulberry street sta
ton, were dismissed for c~oWardice,
but there was no such scene as thai
enacted in the trial room during
Walsh's ordeal. But General Bin
CHAM, a soldier, had his " idea as
to the proper punishment for a cow
ard.
When the COMMISSIONS announced
his decision h eordered Inspector Rich
ard Walsh to tear Walsh's shield from
his coat. When that had been done
the Commissioner called for the re-
moval of Walsh's brass buttons, but
they were fastened to the blouse with
wire and could not be ripped off.
"Cut them off," roared the Com
missioner, and strip him of every
thing that he has ~disgraced."
Knives were brought forth, and al
though Inspector Walsh, Captain
Lantry and several policemen tried
to sever the wire that held the but
tons to the coat they were unsuccess-
full. General Bingham became i'm
patient.
Take him out of the building, in
s~pector," he said. "Tell him he is
dismissed from the department and
to never enter this building. Take
him away! Get him out of my sight"
The only person in the trial room
who was not moved was the uisgraced
cop. Throughout the proceedings he
appeared calm and unconcerned.
Once he smiled at Inspector Walsh,
who was trying hard to tear the but
pleased at the discontinue Of the in
spector.
His revolver, shield, police manual
and patrol and fireboX keys taken
from him, Walsh stood erect for a
moment and glared at Commissioner
Bingham. Then Inspector Walsh
dragged him from the DON Several
policemen made a nov to follow,
but General Bingham stopped them.
Walsh was dismissed for failing to
follow Frank H. Warner after he had
killed Esther Norling in West Forty
second street.

years ago, in the effort to suppress
the crimes of drunken people. But

Politicians in the South have come
to a realization that the prohibition
movement in their region is n
which must be taken with the utmost
seriousness. The politico-temper-
ance crusade, with it's new life and
energy, constitutes the most startling
development in Southern politics to-
day. The advocates of compulsory
abstinence are growing more power
full day by day. The movement is not
so much against the consumption OF
whisky and other alcoholic beverages
as against saloons, rum-shops, bars
and the like.
The average American is in the
habit of regarding Kentucky, Tennes-
see, the. Carolinas, and, in fact, most
of the other Southern States, as dis
tinguished for the production and
consumption Of liquor. It is interest
ing, in view of this, to have attention
directed to the fact that in the State
of Kentucky ninety out OF one hun
dred and nineteen counties are INC
license" That is to say, in none OF
the ninety counties will be granted
a license to sell liquor. The whole
State of Tennessee is dry" save for
the cities of Memphis, Nashville and
Chattanooga. In the dry districts
no alcoholic beverage may be bought
not even a glass of beer or claret
with dinner.
The State Of Texas is. said to con.
tain ninety counties that have abol'
ished saloons. North Carolina Mis-
sissippi and other States of the South
tell the same story. Anybody may
have spirituous beverages sent to him
in any of the "dry" districts; but
throughout these regions every sa'
loon has been extirpated. One may
travel up and down the rural parts
of Kentucky and Tennessee without
finding one bar or crossroads saloon
such as may be found in p%rofusion
throughout, say, New York, New Jer'
sey or Pennsylvania.
