Freeman was regarded by the mer-
chants on Main street as the best night
policeman, who walked the downtown
beat in many years. After he had
resigned as city policeman, he was ur-
ged by the merchants to continue
watching the business houses, which he
did until he left the city. His sudden
departure was a surprise and served
only to injure the high standing in
which he was kept BY the merchants
Of the city.
