Patrolman James j. O'Brien, better known
to the members of the force as Constitu-

on charges Of conduct unbecoming an
officer. Capt. Parrett said that O'Brien
had threatened to arrest him on the bridge
and that when he was ordered to his post
by the captain O'Brien used insulting
language. O'Brien said hat the captain
pushed him and called him a bum. During
the trial O'Brien kept dancing up and down
in front Of the Deputy Commissioner. who
said.

suddenly and said:

Commissioner corrected himself hastily.
Constitutional O'Brien has been in the
department eleven years and has been
considered one OF its characters. He al
ways conducted his own cases in court and
was famed for his knowledge OF law and
his remarkable familiarity with police
