ACCUSED OFFICERS
R|D|CULE CHARGES
Maj. Sullivan Withholds
Statements of Prohibition
Agents Against Police.

Mai. Sullivan. superintendent of
police. today refused to make public
the charges that have been made
against four members OF the police
force by prohibition agents.
The task of drawing up the specifi-
cations was completed today and are
ready to be served on the accused
offiCers-Lieut. o. It. Davis, Sergt.
James E McQuade, Private Harry G.
Bauer and Private William H. ver-
million of the tenth precinct
Maj. Sullivan took the position to-
day that the charges should not be
disclosed until the men are placed
on trial.
Deep Interest Shown.
Unless some special arrangements
are made, the men will go on trial
at the sixth precinct Saturday morn
ing, but, because of the deep interest
that is being shown in the investiga-
ton and the large number of per-
sons who probably will attend the
hearing. 1t is possible that the hear
ing will be held in the boardroom OF
the District building instead Of in
c,amped quarters in the police sta
ton.
Lieut.. Davis and Sergt. McQuade
expressed themselves as being more
than anxious for an early hearing
of what they termed ridiculous
charges.
They are so ridiculous" said Lieut..
Davis. that they must necessarily
fall of their own weight"
Asked when the case would be
heard, both men said, "the sooner,
the better"
Waive Rights as to Time.
"If we receive the charges at 4
o'clock this afternoon" said Lieut..
Davis, 1--WE would waive all rights
as to time and be willing to have
a special session of the trial board
tonight; we certainly would like to
have it not later than tomorrow.
"We want a public trial." he added.
80 our friends and the general pub
lie may be able to know of the ridicu-
lousness of the charges"
1t is understood there are more
than twenty specifications against the
accused policemen, many more
against Lieut.. Davis. head of the
squad, than the others.
