The Famous o'sen Affidavit.
One of McDulie $ right hand men
was commonly reported TO he Manuel
Olsen, a detective for several years IN
the employ of the department, having
been several times discharged and as
manv times suspended for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct.
The last time Olsen was suspended il
was on charges of drunkenness pre-.
ferred by John Kellctt and on even
more serious charges of private ma
ture presented against him by Detcc
tive Hebron. The affidavit which OF.
sen made voluntarily against McDufiie
and Kelett was made after the detec-

failure to substantiate the charges in
full.
Affidavit Volunteered.
The affidavit was given absolutely
voluntarily to two Advertiser reprcscn.
tatives. lie was warned in advance
that there was not the slightest reason
in the world that could compel him to;
that his reinstatement did not depend
upon IT, and. in short, that he did not
have to make it if he did not want to-
He then made his statement, which was
taken down carefully as matter of
news and which was afterwards made
into the form of an affidavit at the
request of Sheriff Jarrett, who wished

notary public in the presence of tho
attorney general, signed it, and placed
his initials on each page.

became more frequent and as that off.

finally given back to him A carefully

Olsen Decides to Resign.
Olsen remained in the department for
few more weeks. He profcssed a de.
sire to act straight and win back the
respect of his superiors and was given
charge of breaking up the chauffeur
haole crap games that were running all
over town, most of them supported by
certain chauffeurs lie renamed away
from the department continually on the
ground that he was working on the
cases, but failed to land one of them
and with the exception of several that
were broken up by other officers most
OF them are in progress now.
A few days after McDufle returned
he had long talk with Olsen IN the
hall of the detective bureau. The next
day Olsen turned in his resignation anf
upon it going into effect was honest
enough to turn over recovered property
which he said had been "loanedv (,
