POLICEMAN TAKES
FRENCH" LEAVE
Peculiar Conduct of E. F. Par
quet Puzzles His Superior
Officers
Absents Himself, Draws Salary
and Again Strangely
Disappears

The extraordinary conduct of Police
man Z. F. Parquet is puzzling Chief
Blggy and Captain Anderson, to whose
district he was assigned. ParQuet re-
ported off duty June %, and the fol-
lowing day a certificate was sent to
captain Anderson that he was sick
Sergeant Mahoney, who is detailed to
visit sick members, could not find Par
quet at his home, 1896 Sixteenth street
for two or three weeks, and nothing
was heard of him until last Thursday
when he got his warrant for his
months pay and cashed it.
Parquet was suspended from duty by
Chief Biggy last Thursday, but he
had been too quick FOR the chief by
drawing his salary before notice of
the suspension was received by Cap
tain Anderson, who filed charges
against him the same day for being
absent from duty without leave. Cap
tain Anderson has employed two men
since Thursday to find Parquet, so as
to serve copy OF the charges upon
him. but SO far they have failed in
their mission.
Two years ago charges were pre-
ferred against Parquet for striking a
woman, but he sent in his resignation
and was not tried. He took the civil
service examination and a few months
ago was again sworn in as a police
man.
