 Chief Hart said today, relative to the case of Officer Ernest Bloom- ouist, that his duty calls came in on time the morning the officer was in a house on Broad street. It is said Sergeant Flynn was unable to locate the officer until the husband of the woman in whose house the officer was told the sergeant he was afraid to enter because the police man was inside.
 Officer Bloomquist told the ser geant the woman was afraid of her husband and asked him to stay in the house. He put in his duty calls and looked about the neighborhood for the husband, but did not find him. He was not in the house all the time, but in the opinion of the sergeant, the complaint against the husband should not have necessitated a long stay and he ordered the off, oer to make report of the incl dent. .-......-.- ]
