COP
Milton D.. Smith Found Tech
nicalIy Guilty of Conduct
Prejudicial to Department

Policeman Milton D. Smith,
Washington's smallest cop and
president of the Policemen's As
ISOLATION, has been found techni-
calIy guilty, by the police trial
board, of conduct prejudicial to
the good, order, reputation and
discipline of the police force. He
was given a Warmly. !,
He will appeal to the District
Commissioners to have the verdict
set aside.
Basis Of Charges.
Smith was charged with arrest
ing Major Augustine M. Prentiss,
of the general staff of the War
Department, twice for the same
offense.
Smith, riding on his motorcycle
in plain clothes last month. fol-
lowed a machine in Water street
southwest. He placed Major
Prentiss under arrest for speeding.
Prentiss' request that he be all
lowed to proceed and to later put
up collateral at the station house
go with him to the Fourth pre-
Cinct.
At the station. Major Prentiss
was charged with speeding. Col
lateral of $40 was asked. He asked
permission to leave the station and
get collateral. He was allowed mis-
liberty until 4 o'clock, it was said.
Smith and Penrtiss left the sta
ton house at about the same time.
AS Smith was about to get on his
machine, Prentiss asked him wheth-
er he mas connected with the office
Of Lieutenant Colonel G. 0. Sher-
rill, in charge of park police, it IS
said.
Then Smith is alleged by Major
Prentiss to have grabbed the major
by the arm and to have taken hi11
back into the station house, telling
him he was still a prisoner.
Friends Got Him Released
Smith is said to have told the
desk clerk that the major appar-
emily did not appreciate the cour-
tesy extended him and directed the
clerk to keep him in custody until
the collateral was raised. Friends
secured Major Prentiss' release.
The next day the major forfeited
collateral in police court.
Charges were made against Smith,
Major Prentiss claiming that when
he was given permission to leave
the station to get collateral he was
no longer under restraint He
charged that Smith arrested him
twice for the same offense
The Trial Board found him tech.
rically guilty and warned him.
Smith announced today that at the
meeting Of the Policeman's ASso.
ciation Thursday reorganization Of
tie Trial Board would be discussed.
