APPEAL FOR LIPsCoMB.
Discharged Policeman Makes Request
for Reinstatement.

The Commissioners al a public hearing to-
day listened to an appeal from Private ]. B.
Lipscomb of the metropolitan police force,
who has been recommended by the police
trial board for dismissal. having been de-
clared guilty of Intentionally shooting Daniel
Boyle, in the leg, July g. last on the Con-
duit road. In the absence of Commissioner
Biddle, Captain Jay ]. Morrow. assistant
Engineer Commissioner, sat in his place at
the hearing. Mr.. Campbell Darlington, who
represented Lipscomb, stated that he made
the appeal for his client upon the ground
that the preponderance of evidence submit
ted at the trial showed conclusively that the
shooting was accidental and he considered
the penalty recommended by the trial board
too severe. He asked that the Commission
ers recommend it's modification.
The history of the shooting and the sub
sequent trial of the policeman, which has
been previously printed in The Star, was
reviewed by Attorney Darlington in a brief
manner He stated that Lipscomb's pistol
was discharged as he arose from the ground,
where he had fallen while pursuing young
Boyle. He said his client record on the
force was excellent and one to be p'Sud Of
and should be taken into consideration by
the Commissioners and should have con-
siderable weight In their final action.
Mr.. Darlington explained that the officer
Is brave, intelligent and temperate and that
he had absolutely no animus against Boyle,
that since the shooting he has done every
thing to aid and comfort the crippled lad.
He said the policeman has paid Boyle LOCO
and stands ready to pay an additional $500
for the young mans RELIEF. All or tnese
sums have been paid by the policeman, Mr..
Darlington said, with pleasure and cheer
fitness, despite the fact that the payments
have bankrupted him, and that Boyle has
fully recovered his former physical condi-
ton and is enjoying the use Of both of his
limbs.
Shortly after the trial board made known
it's findings in the Lipscomb case the latter
was suspended from police duty, and Mr..
Darlington concluded his remarks by max
ing an earnest appeal to the Commissioners
to restore him to duty.
The Commissioners announced that they
will make known their decision later.
