 Heavy Fines in Court.
 Formal charges, alleging conduct unbecomng an officer. as preferred by Raymond J. Casey and William F, Casey, owners of the Maple End shoppe on North street, against Supcrnumcrary Officer Albert scholI, will be heard by Mayor John ] r. Wade and the city council on Sept. 1, according to an announce ment today, The charges grew out of an aItercauon which took place three weeks ago, when the officer had been assigned to the north side beat. As he passed the Casey store | he saw a motor car parked with 1.-two wheels on the grassy space be- tween tho curb and tho sidewalk. i The officer aCcostcd both of tho store owners and informed them that the parking of their car in that manner was not allowed. This was news to the Casey brothers as they had parked in this manner in order to minimize the chance of accident, | the space between the curb and the trolley terminal at this point being none too wide. This fact was called to the attention of the officer and, he asserted later, was followed by in- sulting remarks on the part of the Caseys. Accordingly, both young men were ordered to appear thu fol- lowing Monday morning in police court. The hearing developed into a surprise for the Caseys as they were unaware of the insults offered to the policeman.
 Evidence was offered to show that the officer had not entered his com plaint until late Sunday afternoon and that d gang of ''roWdies" had not been present at the Casey store at the time of the officers second round after the first altcrcation. The case was nollcd. An informal meeting of the police commissions CTS was held last week 10 consider the complaint of the Casey brothers and Judge Epaphroditus Peek ap- pcared in behalf of the accused of- fccr, Other than bringing out a few embarrassing incidents in con- ncction with the official nothing took place.
 Former Representative Robert J, Stack has been engaged by the Casey brothers to look after their interests and has filed the formal charges with City Clerk Thomas E. Steele.
