CARAWAY c { 7 s
. COP REPORT

Senator Caraway Of Arkansas is
not contemplating waaging a crusade
to restore Policeman Joseph w. An
derson, to his place on the police
force. Anderson's dismissal has
been recommended by the Police
Trial Board.
Caraway said Anderson came to
him several weeks ago and said he
had been framed" because he had
accused other officers Of accepting
graft.
He promised to look into the case.
Caraway said, and asked Major
Henry G. Fratt. ch:f of police, for
a report so as to ascertain what the
facts were. The report has been sub
mitted to Caraway and he plans to
study it this afternoon.
Caraway was not very much Inn
pressed with Anderson's story and
unless some new developments have
been uncovered by either side while
he was in Arkansas he will not fol-
low the case further.
Anders appeared before the trial
board and said he, could not pay his
debts because he was not taking
graft like other officers. He was
ordered to substantiate his story.
The trial board held that he did not
back it up. Anderson has appealed
to the Co ,lmissioners to set aside the
verdict.
