witnesses in the case of Policeman

charged with being intoxicated and

ID. Kelly, his attorney, asked for a,

not ready to proceed,
III Fowler declined to continue the
Ease, declaring that Schenck had
had ample opportunity to perfect
his defense on charges Of conduct
prejudfcial to the good name Of the
police force.
III Kelly then declared that he would
file an affidavit OF prejudice against
the Trial Board and added that that
body had been prejudiced by read
ing in the newspapers Of Major
Hesse's criticisms of the board.
Fowler was adamant and Kelly
scanned the papers in the case and
found, he claimed, that they had
been served on Schenck less than
Us hours previously.
q Kelly then read from the Police
Manual the paragraph which. gives
10 offending policemen two full days
after service Of papers in which to
prepare a defense. In Schenck's
caae the time was not up until noon
Yesterday and Schenck's hearing
was called for 10 o'clock. Fowler
then granted the continuance until
next Thursday.
The next case was that of Private

cinct. who was charged with con-
duct unbecoming an officer The
D0nplaining witness was j. w. Nc

to appear and Fowler ordered the
