What seems TO have been Largely
an error. OF judgment on the part ol
Chief of Detectives James Mcdonnell

the candidates for McDonnell's shoes
can induce Police Commissioner Smith
TO believe that the captains error was
bona fide violation of the depar~
ment rule forbidding the acceptance
Of reward by any officer. The pawn
ticket was presented to Capt. McDoh.

woman, in appreciation of the clever
work done by the captain and his men
In running t0earth Mrs. Welch's slay-
or. Mrs. welch had pawned the rims
for $50 at Louis Gross!lght's shop and
Capt Mcdonnell redeemed 1t out o,
his own pocket.
The matter was reported to CommiS-
s.oner Smith by persons outside the
department. 1t Is SAID. shortly before
the captains return from his recent
trip to Los Angeles, where he went
hoping to bring back Dr. J. Byron
Sloan. At the earliest opportunity the
commissioner called on the captain
for an explanation. which was given
frankly and freely. The commission

No officer In the department enjoys
a more honorable record than Chic.
Mcdonnell, and the possibility Of his
retirement for such a trifling cause Is
regarded as rather remote. The cap

judgment.
'But 1t seems a small matter to be
retired for after 33 years service" he
says.
The general impression is that Com
missioner Smith has too much sense
to retire so very capable a n officer for
