he was partially deaf and one of his legs
was paralyzed.
DR.. Howard Cooper OF Rutherford said
Capt. Boaz's spine had been injured by
the fall and 1t was doubtful If he would
fully recover. However, the use Of his
leg came back to him gradually and his
hearing got better, but his voice re-
manned mute.
Capt Boaz decided to sue for DAM
ages because of his injuries and con-
suited Judge Guy l.. Fake of Ruther-
ford. writing what he had to say on
paper. He was unable to make Judge
Fake understand just how the accident
happened. and returned yesterday with
two small wooden models. one of the
barge and one of the tug, with which
he proceeded to demonstrate.
Where were you standing when the
collision took place." the lawyer asked
after Capt Boaz had showed his models
roughly together.
Il was standing right here. Judge

the barge with his finger and it was a

thinks the cure will be permanent. The

TWO TO FOUR YEARS
FOR 'CLUBBER' TIGHE
Policeman Who Abused Score
Of Persons Is JOlted by
Sing Sing Sentence.

Charles Tighe, the "clubber" police
man, who ran amucls during a raid and
assaulted several persons. including
women. was visibly jolted yesterday
when Judge Grain. in Special Sessions,
told him he must serve between two
and four years in Sing Sing prison.
Friends of Tighe had encouraged him
to look for a light pcnitentiary sentence.
He was found guilty a week ago Of
assault in the second degree.
Judge Grain said he intended the
sentence to serve as warning to all
must respect the rights of citizens in
the performance OF their duties, ana
keep within the limits Of the law.
Tighe, who lives at 2742 Eighth ave-
nue.. is married and has one child. He
Is 80 years old. His counsel. Samuel
Fuerstenberg, called several character
witnesses and asked Ieniency on the
ground Tighe had lost his place on the
force as the result OF his actions. and
that he had hurt no one seriously.
The assault was committed July 2S.
when as a member of Chief Inspector
Lahey's staff Tighe conducted raid
on saloon at 900 Ninth avenue. which
was suspected Of being a gambling den.
The complainant was Mrs. Emma
Lennon of SCI West Fiftieth street, one
of twenty persons arrested by Tighe
during the raid.
Judge Grain said to Tighe Your
conduct was unmanly and unhecoming
police officer. You threatened and
abused other people. at least one other
woman. In all likelihood you were under
the Influence of liquor--and that Is the
most charitable explanation of your
conduct. Your record on the force Is a
bad one and I am surprised that you
stayed on 1t so long"
