LIEUT.. VAN WINKLE
FOUND mot GUILTY"
BY TRIAL BOARD
Continued from FIRST Page }

Evans to issue an order for the re-
lease from the house of detention of
two young girls detained there as fu-
gitives from their parents
A second specification alleged that
Mrs. Van Wrinkle directed one of her
subordinates, Mrs Edna l. Johnston.
to hold the girls after Evans had or
dered their release in the custody Of
their fathers.
Lieut.. Van Wrinkle was at her home
on the morning TN question and her
testimony at the trial was to the ef-
feet that she telephoned Mrs. John
ston. on duty at the house of deten-
ton. to walt until she. the lieutenant,
could communicate with Evans before
releasing the girls.
phoned to Evans and called his atten-
ton to the order of February 25, re-
ferred to in the boards decision. She
told Evans that order. issued by Mai
Sullivan, gave her jurisdiction over
such cases.
Mrs. Van Wrinkle told the trial board
that Evans did not then order her to
release the girls. but asked her how
:! long il would take her to get down to
the house of detention and dispose Of
the girls case.
Mrs Van Wrinkle based her defense
on the contention that the much
discussed order of February 25 gave
her complete Jurisdiction over miss
ing girls and women who cannot give
proper account Of themselves.
Sought to Avoid Overlapping.
Capt. Shelby. who drew the order
for Maj. Sullivan. told the trial board
it was intended to prevent overlap
ping between the woman's bureau
and the detective bureau in tracing
the relatives of missing persons.
The trial board states in its finding
that while it believes Mrs Van
n fo} In =
terpretation of the order, the board
does not believe she was warranted
in taking such an Interpretation
from it.
From and after March 1, 1922, all
| matters relating to cases Of lost chill
dren and cases Of females Of what
ever age found wandering abroad and
unable to give proper account of
themselves and against whom no
died by the woman's bureau exclu-
sively and not by the detective bu-
reau. as heretofore.
Such persons will be conveyed to
the house of detention and full report
of all facts and circumstances sur
rounding each case made to the lieu
tenant in charge thereof, who will
direct all efforts and conduct all cor
respondence, telegraphic or other
wise. in connection with the case,
and upon delivery OF such person or
persons to parents or friends said
lieutenant shall at once notify the
precinct originally in contact with
the case of it's final disposition and
shall make such other record as the
circumstances may justify"
Many women's organizations and
other social welfare bodies interested
in the work of the woman's bureau
were gratified last night when news
reached them that Mrs. Van Winkle
had been acquitted of the charge of
conduct prejudicial to the good order,
discipline and reputation of the po-
lice force.
