CLUNEY TO ASK
 FOR MORE TIME
Cops Lawyer to Request Board Today to Grant
 Few Weeks Continuance

A continuance of two or three weeks in the case of Patrolman Patrick Cluney, suspended for fail- ure to show proof of citizenship will be requested by Defense Attorney John F. Tobin at an adjourned meet ing of the board of police commits sioners this afternoon at 1 o'clock.
 Patrolman Cluney was ordered to appear at today's meeting to an- swer charges of failure to prove citizenship. Attorney Tobin, who has been retained by Patrolman Cluney said today he will request the continuance. q must have time to prepare my case," he said.
 It is expected that one point of the defense will be that 24 years ago the board of safety must have recognized Patrolman Cluney as a citizen before appointing him to the force. Another angle widely dis cussed is the question whether the burden of proof is upon the officer or the board.
 Chairman William Verriker ot the police board indicated that the request for continuance in the Cluney case would be granted.
 Chairman Verriker said he had received a report from Superintend- end William J. Roach that the seven supernumeraries who had not filed proof of citizenship at last Wednesdays meeting have sub- sequently met the requirements. No further action will be necessary in their cases.
