NEXT ON
THE RACK
Officer, Suspended by Chief
Doust, Must Face
Trial.

Tomorrow morning at
9:30 George Bradley, one Of
the younger policemen on
the city force, will be called
to trial on a charge Of con-
duct unbecoming an officer,
preferred by Chief Doust.
At the office OF the police board
it is given out that Bradley is al
legged by j. w. Marshall to have
tried to make a date" with Mrs.
Marshall. Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall
have been subpoenaed by Assistant
Corporation Counsel Tustin as wit
nesses in the case.
THE BEN HOWARD CASE.
Bradley was suspended on the
14th inst. when the charge against
him was first reported Bradley is
the man who last spring dubbed
Ben Howard, colored, proprietor OF
the Pekin bar on Front avenue,
when Howard asked for permission
to wash his hands before accom-
panying Bradley to the police sta
ton.
While Howard was engaged in
cleansing his hands to accompany
the officer, so states Howard,
Bradley struck him over the tenn
pie with his club. Howard then
seized Bradley by the throat,
wrenched his club from him, and
backing him up against the wall
told Bradley that he could beat
his head off if he cared to, but
that because he was an officer he
would not strike him. Howard re-
leased the officer, gave him back
his club, and started with him to
the station. After going a short
distance Bradley released Howard
and told him to go back.
SULLIVAN REFUSED TO ACT.
The next day Howard reported
the assault to Chief Sullivan and
demanded that he take steps
against Bradley, but Sullivan re-
fused to act.
Other matters pertaining to the
conduct of Bradley along Front
avenue have been reported in the
last few months. but never pub
lished, owing to the refusal of the
parties to give sworn testimony.
