That -four more policemen would

lice scandal was made known short
ly after noon Saturday.
The latest names involved in the

ton are ]. P Born, ]. E. Mcdaniel,

order was given that they be notified
Of their suspension as soon as they
reported for duty on Saturday.
Those suspended Friday on the
charge of having visited and drunk

at the rear of 1877 Auburn Avenue
were Policeman L. w. Evans and r.
T. David and Cali onlcsfs c. H. Bal
ley and r. A. Wood
Based on Woman's Story.
The suspensions made Saturday
came almost entirely as the result of
a story told at police headquarters
by Ola Bradley. the negro woman
who conducts the notorious resort.
She made a signed statement in
which the names of Born, Folds and
Jackson figured prominently.
She related that Born and Folds
were in her place one Sunday morning
about three months ago The men
became involved III an argument, and
she recalled that one of the men
called the other a liar. On this, she
said, Folds made an effort to get his
revolver.
She was prevented by Claude Gray,
a young negro living at the house.
Captain Poole, who is conducting
the investigation into the scandal unl
der the direction of Chief Beavers,
found the negro woman who Is al
legged to have been the cause of the
dispute. She bore out the statement
of Ola Bradley and also of Claude
Gray, who was arrested as a witness
early Saturday morning.
The Bradley woman, in telling OF
the visits Of Jackson and Mcdaniel to
her place, said that last Monday she
gave Jackson two bottles Of beer TO
drink and that Mcdaniel urged Jack
son not to drink it. All of the men
deny they are guilty of wrong doing
and say that they were at the place
only for the purpose of getting evil
dence. Mcdaniel says that he never
saw Jackson drink.
Gray is said to have full knowledge
of a disgraceful affair which took
place in the resort two weeks ago
when two policemen are alleged to
have become involved in a quarrel.
The officers, it is reported, would have
come to blows had not Gray stepped
in between them and separated them.
Gray will be closely questioned to-
day in the expectation that he will
give the Chief the names of a num-
Der of other policemen who have been
in the habit of making visits there.
Il am going to give Gray a thor
ough grilling," said the Chief. The
whole truth is what l am after, re-
CARELESS of how big scandal is
stirred up by the revelations. All of
the men are going to get fair hear
ing. If these reports are erroneous OF
falsified. they will have the opportu-
nifty to show It,"
Woods Defense.
Wood, who rendered his resignation
Saturday morning. said that he and
his partner, Bailey, had stopped in at
the negro resort to see that every
thing was all right. He declared that
neither of them drank intoxicants
there and that when Moon looked in
through the window Bailey was
drinking a glass of ice water the ne
gro woman had poured for him.
THE other two officers, David and
Evans. who have been suspended with
US, were not even in the house." said
Wood The injustice of it lies in the
fact that the police department has
