Detective Fined
$10O for Part in
Bar Argument
Veteran of n Years
On Force to Appeal
Trial Board Verdict

A 22-year veteran detective
was fined 500 today for taking
part in a political argument in
a barroom and cursing a man
he arrested there.
He is John Meshkoff, so, a
precinct detective assigned to
the special Investigations squad.
Detective Meshkoff joined in
an argument January 81 in the
st. Regis Grill Bar, I'LL Penn
Sylvania avenue NV, with
Isauro Bazan, SO, of 3719 South
Kemper street. Arlington. The
policeman. off duty at the time,
arrested Mr.. Bazan after a po-
litical discussion while they were
drinking beer in the barroom,
the Police Trial Board was told.
Detective Meshkoff brought Mr..
Bazan to headquarters and cursed
him during interrogation, the
trial board was told. The detec-
tive said he would appeal the
verdict.
Testimony Conflicting.
During five hours of conflict
ing testimony yesterday, Mr..
Bazan said the detective and
two other men were arguing in
the bar when \he came in to
wait for a bus. Mr.. Bazan was
drawn into the discussion
about integration, civil liberties
and the Rosenberg case-he
said.
According to Officer Mesh
kof, he was merely a. bystand-
er in the argument into which
he said Mr.. Bazan injected him
self.
Both Officer Meshkoff and Mr..
Bazan said they each had two
or three glasses of beer during
the discussion.
Officer Meshkof said he took
Mr.. Bazan to police headquar-
tiers because he was diSorderly.
Mr.. Bazan said the officer never
mentioned that word to him, but
accused him of being a Commu-
mist.
The detective said he did not
officially charge Mr.. Bazan be-
cause the latter asked him not
to. saying he had a wife and
three children and might lose
bis job. Mr.. Bazan testified he
did not ask for such considera-
ton. The bartender, Nick Elio-
polo, and other witnesses, tend
ed to confirm Officer Meshkoff's
story.
Had Another Beer Later.
Mr.. Bazan was released after
about an hour and half. Both
men testified they had another
beer together in another bar
afterwards, although each
claimed it was the others idea.
Several character witnesses,
including Municipal Court Judge
Andrew j. Howard, and Assistant
United States Attorney John B.
Diamond, appeared for the de-
tective.
The trial board which brought
in its verdict today, was made
up of Inspector Robert D. Chen
ault, Capt. Anthony Richitt and
Attorney Nathaniel j. Ely.
Policeman Convicted.
In another decision announced
today, Pvt. Edward A. Raymond
of Third Precinct, was convicted
of willful disobedience and
feigning illness. He was fined
$3.50.
Pvt. Raymond was suspended
March IL when he asked to be
placed on sick leave after re-
porting for duty and being told
his assignment would be station
clerk at the woman's bureau.
The officer testified that he
suffered severe back pains when
he sits down for any length of
time. A hit-and-run accident in
which he was struck by truck
two years ago started his aching
back, the officer testified.
