This statement was made by
officials Of the police department
last night. 1t was stated, however,
that while the member Of the de-
partment was under suspicion.
nothing tangible had been found
against him.
OFFICERS INDIGNANT.
Officials believe they will not be
able to do more at this time then
transfer the suspect. However. open
statements Of Indignation are made
by members of the Central office
against the suspect, who, II guilty,
has placed cloud of suspicion on
several OF his associates.

matter finally reached the ears of
District Commissioner James +.
Oyster, who has direct charge Of
the police force. He has held sew.

superintendent of police, demanding
that a rigid investigation be made.

1t was not until after Comm was
released from the District work.

OF the loss was made at police
eadquarters. On the day Of his
arrest, Comm was searched and the
money was taken from him and
receipted for. On his release last

to claim the money and watch.
Neither could be found and It was
discovered that no record Of them
