released from prison only a few days
ago. He was arrested at the time Of
the Spanish shooting for completely,
tried and acquitted. The friends Of
Spanish are said to have sworn ven
geance and Kelierman's assassination
is the result of long vigil, the police
say.
George Kellcrman, who accompanied
his brother, told Detective Arthur
Klein, of the Spccia! Squad, that the
two men who followed him and his
brother from the theater were strang-
ers to both Of them. He said he had
seen the same two men before they
entered the theater, but did not then
realize that they were following him

reached point in East Broadway less

the men opened FIRE with revolver.
Both shots were fred by the same man,

"I would give good deal to know"
replied Mr.. Brown.
Profits From Crap Game Raid
Two patrolmen who raided a crap
game at the premises at 2S2 East Thir-
teenth Street and took $56 "by force
and violence" from James Nikkas were
fined five days each.
"For the purpose Of setting an ex-
ample to these violatcrs of the law,
they stole $56 in the course of raid
on crap game" commented Mr. Brown,
"and they were fined five days pay
each"
"Do you think that is a fair enforce
ment of discipline?" asked Mr.. Brown.
ing this money, because there was no
adequate proof of that" replied the
Commissioner. eve did find them
guilty of misconduct in connection with
the case"
Although the record distinctly says
the men we're found guilty Of taking
the money the Commissioner insisted
that this was not established and that
the men were punished for having
broken up the furniture and having
acted in manner unbecoming an
officer.
"The evidence presented against
these men was unworthy of belief"
said the Commissioner in connection
with this violation. eff every time
officers raided games around this town,
or went into house of prostitution
alone, and if the testimony OF the peo-
pie they are raiding is going to be
used against them, and we have got
to accept that as Judgment, you won't
get an officer to do the work of the
department unless they are; adequately
protected"
Patrolman George Wagner withheld
Arch Fund, falsified report with ref
erence to the matter and was fined
twenty days pay. He also was fined
II five days pay after having been found
guilty of the following charges:
Failed to report alleged theft of
money from his person by a patrolman,
failed to make true report, failed to
report loss of Memorial Arch Fund
subscription book, failed to account. for
subscription money received for Arch
OF Freedom, accepted sum of money
from patrolman which was alleged to
have been stolen from him, and which
money was borrowed from other pa
trolmen."
Patrolman Daily was shown to have
threatened a barkeeper in a former
saloon with his revolver when the lat
ter hesitated to supply glass into
which the policeman wanted to pour
some whisky which the latter had
brought with him. He was found
guilty and fined thirty days pay.
Few Appeals to Court
When asked if this was adeouate
punishment the Commissioner read
long statement defending his method
of melting out penalties by saying that
as his department was conducting
merely disciplinary court the regu-
lar courts did not expect strict read
ing of the charges such as was re-
CURED in legal criminal Indictment.
He said the men. seemed to be satisfied
with the findings, as there had been
few if any appeals to the courts and

Moloney Acquitted Of Perjury;
Court Calls Hearing Farcical
NO Witnesses Introduced at Trial of Ex-Detective
Based On Complaint Made by Woman Seventeen
Months Ago; Assistant District Attorney Rebuked

Joseph Moloney, former detective on
the Vice Squad in the 4th Inspection
District, partner of Detective John ].
Gunson, against whom charges are also
pending, was acquitted by jury in
General Sessions yesterday before
Judge Morris Koenig. who rebuked
Jerome Simmons, Assistant District At
torney, for his method of handling the
case.
Moloney was charged with perjury,
and the verdict of not guilty returned
by the jury was directed by the court
after both state and defense had an
nounced they had no evidence to pre-
sent. The entire proceeding occupied
four minutes. Before directing the
jury to find for the defendant Judge
Koenig denounced the trial as a farci-
cal proceeding and declared that the
District Attorney ought to have moved
dismissal of the indictment against
Moloney in the usual way if he had
made certain that it would be impos-
sible to bring witnesses to testify
against him.
"While perjury is one Of the most
serious crimes known to the law, che
indictment against Moloney has been

pending since April 8, 1920, and has
been on the calendar no less than
forty-eight times" said Judge Koenig.
~ understand that the District At
torney is in tho same position MS. five
or six months ago--that the complain
ing witness has wired she will not re-
turn from the West to testify. If this
is true why does not the District At
torney move to dismiss as In any
ordinary case, making such farcical
proceeding as this unnecessary Z"
Maloney and Gunson were indicted
on the complaint Of Mrs. Lillian Love,
wife of broker, who formerly lived at
246 West Seventy third Street. She
said the two detectives perjured them
selves when they swore against her
after arresting her for an alleged viola
ton of the tenement law. She was ac-
Quilted. Mrs. Love tried for many
months to bring the detectives to trial,
but her health is said to have broken
down and she left New York.
Judge Koenig demanded to know
why the Indictment against Gunson
should not be dismissed Assistant
District Attorney Simmons insisted,
however, on the impaneling of jury
to try Gunson in the same manner.

Hines Receives Ovation
Hines received an enthusiastic re-
ception last night at q meeting of
Democrats of the 18th Assembly Dis
trict at 292 Manhattan Avenue. The
clubrooms were damned and several
hundred persons were unable to gain
admittance. The various speakers
promised to wage bitter and unrelent-
ing war against Charles f. Murphy, the
Tammany chieftain, and the prediction
was made that Henry H. Curran, Re-
EXPERIMENTATION candidate for Mayor,
Will receive every one of the 21,0O0
Dem ocratic votes cast for Hines in his
fight for the Borough President nomi-
nation at the primaries.
Hines was reelected district leader
at the meeting and Mrs. Ernestine T.
Stewart was reelected associate leader
Joseph Shalleck, campaign manager for
Hines, who was beaten Primary Day
near the home of Murphy, was a
speaker at the meeting.
Applause continued for two minutes
when Hines rose to speak
when hear myself applauded like
that" he said, 81 feel like applauding
you people right back, for it was you
and not me who did the good work.
When 1 polled $1,000 votes at the
primaries, against $4,000 votes Of the
opposition-by the. opposition's own
count-it was you, my friends, who
gave those votes to me.
eve have been in the habit of say
ing that Tammany has fallen back, and
it has fallen back. More than $4,000
people have fallen away this year. More
than 10000 registered against Murphy
last Tuesday. We went into this fight
with the slogan: Murphy must CO.
I know you feel the way do and, let's
get back of that and stick to it
Murphy must CO."

that no decision of his had been re-
versed by any court.
| Mr.. Brown took an opposite view,
and said that no man could be punished
without written charges having been
preferred against him and he was tried
on those charges.
The inequalities of the penalties
imposed we're remarked upon by Mr..
Brown in connection with the case Of
Sergeant Ezekial Kellar, who refused
to permit Special Deputy Police Com
missioner Harriss to pass through the
parade lines in Fifth Avenue on April
g. 1918, and spoke to the Deputy Com
missioner in very gruff and disre-
spcctful tone Of voice" For this he
was fined twenty days pay
AS against this, Mr.. Brown referred
to the case OF policeman entering
mans home and abusing him and his
wife, and other cases Of assault where
the fines imposed were trivial. The
Commissioner insisted that the Harriss
matter was INSTRUMENTATION and was
not at all in the class of the other
cases.
The case of Charles F. Tighe, in
yolved in recent clubbing affair, was
lightly touched upon. His record
showed that he had been UP on charges
as that good record?" Mr.. Brown
asked.
"Not especially" replied the Commits
sioner. Mr.. Enright said that Tighe
was now on trial at Headquarters on
serious charges and that his case had
been proceeding for two weeks. He
expected decision within a day or
two.
Referring to the numerous cases Of
IL L. Itrvkk :xe,S1
members of the force, Mr.. Brown re-
marked:
"Police officers are primarily to pro-
tect?"
"They are, Senator, and they are pro-
tecting the people as they were never
protected before. They are not assault
ing people to any great extent" said
the Commissioner.
"Any protector that assaults them is
guilty of double offense, Of violating
his duty as an officer and of commit
prevent ?" went on the counsel.
"That is true, and you know that if
he did assault them they would take
him to court The newspapers will
give him plenty of publicity, and there
are a lot of people around here who
want to throw him to the wolves" re-
piled the Commissioner.
III am not going to permit you," went
on Mr.. Enright, "to write down on the
record that policemen are assaulting
people promiscuously throughout this
town"
Mr.. Brown denied making any such
assertion and said he was merely call
ing attention to one particular case.
The hearings will be continued this
morning with the Commissioner again
on the stand.
