Brought Into Testi-
mony.

Two South Chicago policemen were
up before the police trial board in
Chicago yesterday, in which they
wadded into the realms of romance.
Patrick Barry, the well-known South
Chicago policeman, who lives at 2S43
Fifth avenue, and is married, was &C
cused of proposing to Miss Elizabeth
Landers of 1861 Wentworth avenue.
He was also charged with borrowing
money from her and allowing the
banns of marriage to be read in St.
Cecilia church.
Officer Barry admitted borrowing
money, but insisted that he never made
an offer of marriage or bought a mar
riage license. Miss Landers explained
how she became acquainted with the
policeman.
