The new trial of former Patrolman
William Eisberg Of Cliffside Park, who
was dismissed from the force for al
legged neglect of duty, is set for Friday,
January 8. Eisberg Is alleged to have
failed to ring certain signal boxes on
his beat and was tried and found guilty
by the members Of the Cliffside Park
Council Board. The case was appealed
and the Supreme Court ruled that in
asmuch as the full Council Board was
not at the trial on both nights, Coun-
Gilman Alfred Mutt being absent on
one Of the evenings the trial took place,
ordered a new trial be given.
However, instead of ordering new
trial, the counsel for Eisberg thought
that some agreement might be made
whereby Eisberg would tender his res
ignation to the borough ia return for
the payment of $1,000 by the Council
Board. The board agreed to give the
dismissed patr0lman the thousand dol
lars, but at the last minute he changed
his mind and refused to offer his res
ignation to the borough officials hence
the new trial.
