Quoted a barber shop at the corner Of

EMPHATIC DENIAL
MADE BY OFFICER
PatrOIman Libman Declares That He
Participated in No Shooting
Scrapc on Eleventh Street.

Emphatic denial was made by Pa
trolman Harry Libman that he had
participated in a shooting scrape at
the corner of Eleventh street and
Eleventh avenue, Thursday night, po-
lice said today.
Police headquarters declared that
the patrolman reported at 1855 o'clock
the last time. 1t was said that the
officer declared he was tired and at
tempted to call the station on police
box to tell the night sergeant that he
was going home, and that upon failure
to reach the station, because the
phone was not properly working,
tried to get in touch with headquarters
from his home over the telephone. He
said he was unable to secure COM
munication with the station from his
home
Chief Miller said it is not custom
airy for an officer to leave his beat
when he is tired. "An officer has no
business leaving his beat unless he is
SICK the chief said. Then he must
first notify the station, as otherwise
the beat he travels will be unprotect-
ed"
Chief Miller said he doubted if any
further investigation is to be made OF
the case. He declared that he had in
quired into the matter to learn if any
shooting had occurred on Eleventh
street and that he had found no one
who had heard of it. Despite the
findings of the chief, it is said that
numerous residents of the southwest
ern section Of the city heard the shots,
