Patroman Moran entered the West
Forty-seventh street station last night
shortly before IL o'clock and turned in
to the sergeant on the desk a sick re-
port which showed that he had been
examined by police surgeon and
ordered to report back 10 duty. He put
the slip on the desk and left, but the
sergeant sent a policeman after him and
he came back. He was then shown a re-
port which had been entered on the
blotter OF the station house and after
ward was questioned by Acting Inspec-
tor Donohue who asked the patrolman

street station were concerned there was
no other course open to them than 10

denly.

Tiger of India
does not quarrel with a
Pekinese dog.
He is so proud and
powerful that he will not
stop to use his strength
upon what seems to him to
be little flies.
Have you noticed that
there is a dignity even in
animals that some human
beings might study to ad-
vantage?
Great ideas are floating
about these days from all
parts of the world as to
governments, education,
finance, commerce, to say
nothing of international
law. We must patiently,
respectfully and without
prejudice, and with a
kindly spirit, discuss all
questions, irrespective of
where they originate.

PATROLMAN OFF DUTY

Inspector Thomas V. Underhill of
the Fourth Inspection District was or
dered yesterday by Police Commits
sioner Enright to make an investiga-
tion into the circumstances attending
the shooting Monday Of Edmond Clay
ton, 21, Of ESQ East Eighty-third street,
in or just outside of a poolroom at
1913 Third avenue. Clayton at first
accused Policeman William j. Moran,
Jr, of the West Forty-seventh street
station of being the person who shot
him but recanted later and the police
man, who had surrendered himself and
had been detained at the East Sixty
seventh street station for nearly three
hours, was released.
The shooting occurred at about II :15
A. NJ. when Third avenue in the vicin-
ity of the poolroom was crowded with
women and children. Clayton was
wounded in the right leg and told ply
sicians at Lenox Hill Hospital. to which
he went in a taxicsb that he had been
shot by Moran. The same story was
told to Policeman Tracy Hamilton of the
East Sixty-seventh street station and to
two detectives who called later at Clay
tons home. A general alarm was then
sent out for the arrest OF Moran.
Clayton said yesterday Moran met a
policeman friend in the street and was
told about the alarm for his arrest and
was advised to surrender himself. Mo-
ran told reporter for THE NEW YORK
HERALD that he did not learn of the
alarm until he reached his, home, 249
East Seventy-seventh street. and was in
formed by his mother that detectives had
been looking for him. He then went to
the East Sixty-seventh street station
and surrendered. Clayton was sent for
and despite his previous statements said
Moran was not the man who had shot
him. Moran then was released by De-
tective-Lieut. Mcmahon. commander Of
the detectives in that district

Policeman Covered Face.

The only explanation Clayton could
give for his sudden change of mind was
that he had not seen q pistol In MoraE's IS
hand. He admitted. however, he saw
the policeman. In citizens clothes. stand
ing at the corner of Third avenue and
Seventy-fifth street and that he hardly
had turned his head to look into the
poolroom in front of which he claimed
to be standing, when a shot was fred.
He felt a stinging pain In his leg.
According to Clayton's story he was
sure at the time Moran had shot him.
He said he walked TO the corner and got
into a taxicab just a few feet from
where Moran was standing and at that
time he said. the policeman was cover
Ing his face with his hands. At the
hospital he told the physicians Moran
had shot him and made the same charge
to detectives, who called at his home.
He and his brother. Leo Clayton, walked
Third avenue for nearly two hours. he
added. looking for Moran. but the po-
liceman could not be found.
When asked by reporters Why he ;iad
suddenly changed his mind. Clayton
scratched his head and said he was not
sure Moran did it. principally because
he had not seen pistol. He denied en-
phatically that he ever had had any
trouble with the policeman. who. he
said. was "one of the boys before he got
on the force a year and a half ago. OF
that there was any reason why he
should be attacked.
Moran was in bed when reporters
called at his home. He denied al
knowledge of the shooting and said his
service pistol was in a locker in the
West Forty-seventh street station house
The policeman said he was on sick leave
-.
midnight. which assertion was denied by
Acting Inspector Thomas Donohue, COM
mander of the Fifth Inspection District,
IN which his precinct is located.
