POLICE SUSPENDED
FOR COWARDICE
Five Chicago Detectives Hid.
Refusing to Aid Dying
Sergeant.

CHICAGO, March 26.-Five officers
were suspended from the detective force
tonight after witnesses had accused
them of hiding behind telephone poles
and refusing to answer the dying cries
Of their comrade, Detective Sergeant
Patrick O'Neill. who was fatally shot
Wednesday night while trying to arrest
Tommy" OConnor. an alleged gunman
who is charged with staying at least
three men.
While the search for O'Connor was
being extended to-day to all parts of the
country Charles Fftzmorris, Chief of
Police, ended his inquiry into the events
leading up to the death of O'Neill. Ac-
cording TO witnesses the six officers
from the Detective Bureau surrounded
the house in which O'Connor was sup
posed to be hiding.
Neighbors told of being aroused by
several shots and of finding five of the
detectives hiding behind the poles.
Paddy ONeill has been shot" one
OF them was quoted as saying, land we
are afraid to go into the backyard until
reeaforcements arrive"
Meanwhile, according to witnesses, the
dying officer was heard to cry Joe"
three times. Detective Sergeant Joe
Roman, ONeills partner, heard the
cries and began to weep, but no one
went to the assistance of the wounded
man, according to witnesses, until the
arrival of a police wagon full of gray
haired patrolmen who had been held in
reserve at a station.
''You had better not go back there or
you will get shot" witnesses said one of
the five Detective Bureau men told the
older policemen.
What do you think we came here
for?" was the retort. 1--WE came to get
O'Neill and we are going to get him"
and the gray naired patrolmen led the
way to the wounded man, who was then
unconscious. He died on the way to the
hospital.
According to the testimony O'Neill
lay for more than fifteen minutes with
out any effort being made to aid him
after he was shot, and there was no at
tempt to pursue the slayer.

NEGROES LASHED
AS WHITES WATCH
Warden Administers Blows on
Four Prisoners in Jail in
Wilmington.
NO BLOOD Is DRAWN
Punishment Made as Humane
as Possible Consistent
With Law.

Special Despatch TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.
WILMINGTON, Del. March 26.-War-
den M. s. Piummer whipped four
negroes at the stake to-day at the
Newcastle County. Workhouse while
hundreds of whites looked on. The
warden declared 1t was the most dis
agreeable part of his job as head of the
prison, but because Ii was distasteful
he did not desire any one else to do 1t.
There was more interest than usual
III the whippings. for the reason that
all the negroes had been convicted of
highway robbery and the sentences
We're unusually severe.
Warner Lewis. whose sentence was
ten years and twenty lashes, vas the
first man whipped. He took his pun
ishment with a smile. and as he was
released from the post he smilingly
asked Warden Plummer IL that was all.
Leonard Barrett. whose sentence was
ten years and forty lashes Horace
Archey. whose sentence was twenty
years and forty lashes, and John Rich
ardson, with twenty years and forty
lashes, followed in succession.
The men all flinched from the whip
but made no outcry. Barrett did not
finch until the eleventh lash was
reached and from that on appeared to
feel the punishment keenly
Plummer used the regulation cat O. nine
tails and administered the lashes with
out bending his arm. He was mericiful
in the administration of the sentences
and did not draw blood, but the backs
of the men were raised in marks despite
the care of the warden.
The whippings were held in the small
enclosure at the prison which is used
only for whippings and for executions.
The law has been made more severe
on account of the large number of high
way robberies in various parts of the
State, and the Legislature believed that
adding additional lashes to the penalty
would serve to stop this crime.
1t is seldom that blood is drawn at
the whippings, as the wardens who have
whipped men usually have tried not to
be cruel and not - inflict unnecessary
punishment. A few years ago blood
was drawn but wardens since that time
have been more considerate.
