As a result of charges that he
has been indiscreet in his relations
with divorced woman, Policeman
John 3. Yoder. of the Twelfth
precinct, win be brought before the
trial board to answer charges OF
conduct prejudicial to the good of
the force, Major Edwin B. Hesse,
superintendent of police, said today.
The charges against the police
man were preferred by William, l..
Sherman. who was separated from
his wife a short time ago.
Sherman alleged, in substance,
that Yoder rented an apartment
for his wife, posing for that pur-
pose as her husband, under an as
stunned name.
The officer told representatives
Of the women's bureau that Mrs,
Sherman approached him on the
street while he was attached to the
Third precinct and requested him
to locate an apartment for her.
In order not to embarrass her,
Yoder said, he leased the apart
ment as her husband, using the
name Of John T. Byers. Later.
however, he informed the owner OF
the apartment that he was not the
woman's husband.
At the time of their separation.
Mrs. Sherman was awarded Gus.
