IHE CHiEF OF POLICE.

From the laurel Leader.
There Is more or less criticism be
ing heard regarding alleged free use Of
revolver and club on the part Of our
Chief Of Police. One or two instances
have been PORTED out where this Of
flcer Is said 20 have fired his revolt
yer to bring an escaping prisoner to a
halt, or where he used his club TO sub
due a prisoner who resisted arrest.
Our town officials know Of these al
/ legged instances and are perfectly aware
Of the details Of the occasions and they
are the men who are directly respons-
! ible for the town welfare in the depart
ment Of justice. They have not offered
interference at anytime, and probably
8 the best illustration for their attitude
is given in the following news note:
! A week ago a man under the influence
| Of liquor created a disturbance. He re-
sisted arrest and even when the Judge
before whom he was arralgued ordered
him locked-up he fought. and to such
an extent that 10 required two men TO
overcome him and in the melee the
Judge was thrown from his chair. Later
the prisoner requested that the chief
loosen his handouts so that he might
arrange his coat more comfortably. The
officer obliged and was thrown to the
corner Of the cell room for his kind
ness. The prisoner then wrested the
officers blackjack from him. struck q
blow and endeavored 10 escape. The Of
ncor knocked him down with his
nlghistick, finally overpoweriny him
and placing him back in a cell. Later
the man was arraigned, fined and al
Lowell his freedom. It then became
known tht he had one time served a
sentence 10 shooting a railroad detec
tive and later attempted to shoot an
other. His record gave plain indication
that he is a dangerous character.
Can an officer handle man Of thi:
type with velvet gloves2
Where there are but two officers car
they permit any offender TO mack them
down.
Move say definitely and without
hesitation that an officer must demand
respect Of offenders II he has to dc
