amendment, however, was not sec
onded. The original motion was ther
mt and General Wickersham voted
/ srsinss its adoption. The motion pre-
I vailed. however, and Commissioner
! NeSear then moved that copies Of the
I evidence submitted be sent to Mr.. Zeb-
I lev and this was carried.
The report was ordered hled alOne
/ with the statements and afildayits Oi
/ the witnesses and the court records oil
/ Daniel Sullivan and John Timmons, the
/ two drafted men, who, It Is alleged
I created the disorder at French street
station. The sffldavlts were all sworn
/ to before Police Sergeant William +
/ Schell, a notary public.
The statement OF Chief Black, IN
which he admitted striking Tlmmons
and the statements OF other witnesses,
are as follows:
Statement of George Black, Chief Of
Police.
Having been requested by his honor,
the Mayer, also by the Clerk OF The
Council 10 furnish a police escort for
the drafted men who were TO leave this
city May %, 1918. / accompanied the
men so assigned from the Public Build
ing TO the railroad station, upon arrlv-
ing there / found the officers on duty
at the station doing the best they could
to keep tho crowds back, and keep a
passageway open for the drafted men TO
enter the station, the crowd upon the
approach OF the drafted men pushed
their way up to the station doors maxi
ing II impossible for the men 10 enter
the station, at this time former Mayor
Howell, member of Local Board No
4, who was marching at the head Of the
draftees requested me TO open pas
sageway then started through the
crowd and requested the people In a
gentlemanly manner 10 open a passage
way. In going through tho crowd ! en-
countered two drunken men who were
not in the line Of the drafted men and
when ] got close OF them, one Of them
Sullivan" cried out Don't put your
hands on me, you Son Of a D." and
struck st me. ] then took hold Of him
and held him away from me, when
the other man "Timmonsn rushed al me
saying you Son Of b, don't you
touch him, and he. Timmons, then
struck at me, when. in order 10 protect
myself, ] struck TimmOns and took
hold of him. and turned both men over
TO Patr0lmen Tynson and Elliott. When
| learned that they were drafted men
! directed the Parolmen to take them
In the station and put them aboard Of
their train.
While l was having the trouble with
Sullivan and TimmOns a man came
rushing through the crowd from the
rear OF men In a very boisterous and
excltable manner and criticized me for
interfering with drafted men. l later
learned that the man was Frank Zebley
Of Local Board No. a.
I also learned later that the two men
Sullivan and Timmons were in charge
OF Local Board No. 2. and were not In
their places In the line at the time
first saw them, but they had got into
the crowd ahead OF the men with whom
they had been marching and were un-
der the influence Of liquor, and acting
dlsorderly.
From what I understand OF the laws
men drafted into the service OF the
country, or even men in the service anC
| in uniform are as much amensble to the
laws as those not in the service.
