Tho com plant is general, 10 say the
least, and the defendant is given an
opportunity TO defend himself. The
defendant has been on tho police force
for sixteen years. At what time and
at what place during these sixteen
years have these alleged offenses been
committed? Even IL he did associate
with lewd women. 1t Is not viola
