N 2 e A, THE CHICAGO DAIL #ald : Tuat alongsida of Tudgoe Banyon and hoard part of tho testimony ; T'rainor did not tostify whilo I wos thoro § told him in tho Captain's oDico that it was n shinnio for him to be gulity of such brutal treatmont to a citizon. IIe did not offer any oxplanation. I ncted quiokly, and did not heat hin stntomont of tho case. I auepondod Bim vorbally In the presonce of the Captain, and, 1 bollovo, tho Sorgeant, and told the Captaln that I had dono so. Q.—Yon hinye boen n Polico Commisaloner four yoars ? A.—Noxt fall I will bavo boen four yenrs & Commissionor. Q.—Now, you aro familiar with all tho laws on the subjoct of tho dutics of tho -ofticors of tho Bonrd, or ought to bo. bf this timo. Do you roo- ollgot tho provision of tho law that roqulros all orders to the forco toho_givon through the Su- Furlntunflnut ? A.—That is, where rogular orders raio, Q.—Do you recollect this atatute, which I will roadto you: #Tho Board elall promulgate all rogulations and ordors through tho Superin- tondont, and it shall bo $ho duty of tho. police foree to rocelvo Jand obuz tho Baporintondont and Ghiof of the same, subject to tho rules, and rogulations;and gonoral orders of tho Board." Do you romomber that provision? A.—~Yos. Q.—Now X wisl to ascortaln what was tho renson on your part for promulgating this ordor of auspension direotly, and not through the Bu- Rurlutondunt, a8 tho statute sooms to s)rovidn? .~ Ordora” thoro, a8 1 underatand It, affoct the status of the forco; thoy aro orders l})pnr— taining to the goneral managoment of tho force, not almply an individual ordor from a Commis- slonor to an officor; they aro orderas by which the foreo ia rogulated, Q.—To what extent do I underatand that yom claim that tho individual mombors of tho Poard muy givo orders to policomon not through tho proper channel—tho Buperintendont ? A.—Ounly 80 faras that powor mpportaine to thom by virtuo of the charter—the powor of susponsion, Q.—Do I understand you as holding, then, in tho faco of this Inw, that any membor of the Board has the right to ruspond & polico officer without pnssing the order through {ho Buporin- tondont? A.—Ido, eir. I hold that, in view of that ordor, made espocially for the purpose of ompowering an individual member of the Board 0 nct in coses of omorgoncy, tho power was given for thnt purposo, ~ Before my going {ito tho Bord It wag the praotico for tho Bupor: intendant to suspond, notwithatanding the char- tor snid that tho Board only could do it. It was tho practico for tho Captains and Sorgeanta to sospond and degendo by taking tho star from the mau, A~ case nross in tho Bonrd where s Captain had takon tho star from a man, and, on close scrutiny, I concluded that tho Captain liad transconded his power. Tha Board argued that, as a Bonrd, thoy could ompowor an oflicer to do that which they them- Bolves woro ompowered to do. 1 took frsuo with tho Prosident [Mr. Brown), and tho case went into court, and Judge Williams hold that my ruliug wns right; that the Bonrd could not confor upon an inforior oflicer the power which they themgolvos had to obtain by a special act of tho Legislaturo for the individual iombors, Q.—Do I understand you to draw the doduc- tion from that, that the Board can give thoir ordors to tho members of the forée indopondont- ly of tho Superintendent ? A.—In a caso of that kind I hove always so regarded it. Thoso are not ordors affecting the status of the force, Q.—Did you notify, or leave in writing, notico in tlio Becrotary'’s offico, of what you had dono bofors you saw Washburn? A.—No, sir. : Q.—Then, ns o matter of fact, Washburn had 1o kuowlodge of what hind boen done from you? A—Not from mo, sir, Q.—What timo in the forenoon did you sus- and Trafuor? A.—I think abont 9 o'clock, sir ; tweon Y—porhaps a little after 9. .—Did ho make any explanation of the difii- culty that ho had with those poople? A.—No, sir. I felt, I confoss, indignant at the conduct of the oflicer when I kaw hia victims bofore me. Mr, Jowett called witneus' attention to So tion 81 of tho rules and regulations of tho P lco Department, which yonds us follow “"\hon chargos aro proforred ngainst any ofll- cor or patrolman of the Polico Do- artment,© lo i@ to bo susponded y the General Buporintendent until the chorgos can be oxamiued by the Board of Police. I'ho party agminst whom charges aro peaforrod ehall bo furnishod by the Buperine tondent with o writton stntemont of tho charges, by whom wado, and the timo when the charges wilbe heard,” ote, Commissioner Bhoridan said: * That is a mero regulative mattor, adopted by the Board for tho governmant of the force.” Mr. Jowett—Soo. 3, in which tho powor of a Commissionor fo suspend is spoken of, says: “During tho pending of charges sgainst eny police omicor or patrol- wan,” what has been the construc- tion of the Bonrd in reference to the man- ner when s chargo is ** pending "' ? A,—T'lo con- plruotion bas been as exomplified in practice, tiiat tho Commissionor suspended when Lo ha Leard tho chargos; that tho charges were con- sidored in pondoncy until heard by the Board, By the Mayor—Do I uuderstand you to say that tho practice of the Board hns been for a member to suspend in advance of charges ? A. ~\Vritten charges ? Mr. Coulfield—What I want to get out i, when the Board considered chiargos ns pending, Supposo, for_instanco, o person cowos bofore tho Board aud makes o statement, either under outh or otherwiso, and charges agninst a police- man ; now I want to know whathar thay consid- er th) chargos as ponding until they ara reduced to writing or not? A.—It was o ruled by Mr. Btileo, Alexandor Sullivan, & TVmes roporter, was then sworn: Ho corroboratod Mr. Bheridan's statomont about being called o G—d d—d liur by Washburn, but added nothing which the readers of Tne TBUNE are not alroady familiar with, 1io enid the three Commiesioners and the Bupor- intondent were very much excited during the cnntro\'emf'. g Ald, Cullerton was the noxt witnoss, Ho Leard Washburn say to Sheridan : * Mark Sheri- dnp, if you say that Iam notin my oflics balf tho 'timo or that I do not atlend to my duty, jou ey et which s & lie sud_you now it. It 48 a lio and you are a d—d liar, and my name is Washburn, and you will find mo at any place at ony timo you wish to seo me."” "The Aldorman dotailed the conversntion in vearly the same lnugungo a8 Commissioner Sheridan had. IIo heard Bhoridan say: My name 8 Mark Bheridan. I am woll known in Chicago, and othersZare not as well known as I am, nor aro they dealing with convicts," Then Dnson Raid, *¢ Not convieted convicts.," Wash- burn alo called Sheridan & G—d d—d liar, and gaids “If T were nota cripploI wounld not bo inRulted hy you ; yon aro n d—d dirty dog.” Did not remombor that Lo said if ho wero not a crip- ple bo would not wait to nsk tho Mayor to aus- pend Sheridan, Dr. Ward, the Secrotary of the Doard, was then sworn : o told what ho heard, but it was ahont the same as has alroady beon mentioned. T'he Doctor wan o very cautious witnoss, and vory littlo information was obtnined from lim, His excuso wag that ho ran in and out, and attend- in to his duties left him but little timo to noto all that was transpiring in the Board's room. In raply ton question by the Mayor, ho said that yeace had reigned in the Board for tho past six montls, Capt. Bhepard, the Assstant Secorctary, was ealled on for whnt he know, but he throw no light upon the scovo. Ho romarked that Wash- burn wns firm, and ncted as it he menaut what ho #aid, Bloridan appeared to bo very imuch ex- cited, "hin anded the testimony for the complainant. Superintendont Washburn tools tho usual oath, and mude tho subjoined statomon Tunt Friday morning, about 11 o'clock, Capt. Iackloy, Seryt. Hood, and Patrolmen Trainor eamo in, snd Capt. Buckley said to mo ‘‘SBuper- intendent, thiy man (L'rainor) lhos been sus- pended by Commissioner Sheridan ; we do’ not uudorstand it to ba our duty to tako orders from the Commissionors, unlesa they como through tho Superintendont, and we would like to bo in- wtructed.” 1felt quite woll satisfled that the Commnilgsioner in doing #o was wrong, aud I in- quirod first if thoy had any_charges against him (Peainor). They sald no, I° folt quito satioflod” that the Commiesfoner had {rangoonded his dutios in auspending tho e without preferring chiniges, and I thon tool nensures to bo corfain in the mattor. I iwent to {he Secrotary's oflice aud inquirad if any chargos wore there, I knew if they had boon proforred thoy should proporly be in my hands, The Hoc. retary told me {hnrn were nono, I asked him it lie was.positive, and ho told mo that he was, I looked Into thie Commingionprs’ room, but 10 ono was there, I then ealled in Capt. Buokloy, Sorgt, Hood, and Ofiicer ‘I'rainor, and told thom that, a8 no chargos had boon preferred, I folt that the wman should be restorod to duty, aud ordered Hargt, Hood to give bim his stor and set him to wofi(. Nothing more was hoard or gaid of tho matter until nfternoon., About tho time tho Board usually nssombles, I wont in_to do somo bueiness, Mr. Wright and Mr, MMason wore there, and for anght I know totally ignorant of thie * affaic of flicor Trainor—of his cusponsion and of my restorlny Lim toduty. Hhortly after I came in—I lhad pot mentioned it to Nr, Wright or 3r. Mason—Bheridan camo in, The Board bed not been called to order; tho Becrotary was ot prosont. Mr, Bhondan _commioncod to rolato au acconnt of Ofiicer Trainor's abusin citizous ; about his having boen presont at cour| and hesring the testimony, It ocourred to me then that It was thia man Ihad restored fo duty, snd T intorruptod Mr. Bheridan by eayln “Wby, Mr, Bloridan, I tuatun{ll yl.hlxl' man o duty this morning, llo immo- diately swollod up, beoama shiort-broathed or ]onqd)runmd l soomed to broathe with' & great donl of difioulty ; at Inat ho bocamo rod in’ tho faco, showlug ovident #igns of anger, to an oxtont that 1 havo never soon hoforo In nman ; and, in & vory detorminod way, sayahot “Super- Intoudent, hav you done tht'thing %« Woll,"” says I, “I havo, Mr, Bheridnn.” “Yon hLavo rontorad Officor Trainor toduty ? “ Yea," Well, then,"” ho nnys, *“you have insulted mo with o Knrpnuu i you have insulied mo stndlnuul{x you avo dona this for tho Jurpos of disgeseing mo in tho oyos of tho publio, nud tho two Commis- slonora aro in collusion with you, This la a con- spiracy, Ilknow itis, for I saw you and Com- misslonor Wright riding out_ I o buggy to- gothor this morning.” I sasurod tho gontloman that no insult was offorod, and I scouted tho iden of his rocolving it as an insult, Iattompted to oxfihm to im m* sumluun, but hio only mot ma with chargos that I had Insulted him—that it waa a conspirnoy—thnt I had insult~ od him for o purpose. Thén thore ocourred n Tull in his Qit of avgor (I do not hesitato to call it that), and I mado o secoud offort to oxplain it to him, Ho ot me with the same sort of abuse, donounced mo a8 adirty bloguard, aa an impos- tor, 8a o fraud, sud no gountloman, Thero was an Inkstand on the desl, a—by-the-way—a maro bauble, I’ ploked it up&l I do not think X ramed it from - tho dosk; if I did, it was but < a short distanco, in my loft hand, and sot it down sgain, and took my soat. Provious to this, howoyer, ho statod thnt whon I rostored tho man to duty ho was in the b\\fldlnE, and that Tknow it. 1 as- surod him that it ho waa in tho building I know nothing of it. Hothon turned his convorsa- tion to M. and Mr. DMason, oue or both , and complained of tho troatmont that ho had rocelved from me, and domnnded my suspousion. Mr. Mason, or Mr. Wright, I have forgotton which, gayo it as his opinfon that if Lo wanted to auugund » man, ho should nave dono it through the Buperin- tendont. Mo twrnod to mo then and said ho had ondeavorod to find me; that ho ocsmo to my ofico for the purposo of tolling mo nbout it; that X was not fu, and_that 1o one in tho offics know whoro I was; and that 1 wag not in half tho time, I naturally inforred that that was intonded to moan that'T was not attending to my duty, and [ eays: * Mr. Sheri- dan, do you mean to say that I am not attending to ‘my’ duty half tho time?" o maid: I mean to uay that you aro not in your oftico bLalf the time, and you are not attending to your duty oithor, half the timo.” I thon denounced hini 2 o liar. Idid not dencunce Lim as a liar for tho purpose ot breeding any disorder, or for the purposs of making a quarrol. I folt indiguant thot any ono ehonld say to mo that I was not attending to m({ zlm%, however })ouxly tho duty may be attended to, Ifolt that was putting in time enough, whatover tho re- sults might hayo been. By Ar, Jowott—Whoro wors you that morning whon ho says ho wont to your ofico? A.—I wai at the Criminal Uourt a8 witness in a hobess corpus case. In anaywor to othor questions, the Superinton- dont snid: T have novor kunown a Commissionor to suspond an offiear uxco{lt Lo requosted tho Buperintondent to do it, did mot know that any chargos lad boon mado apainst Trainor, ~ Bergt. Hood told mo, and 8o did Trainor, that Shorldan's complaint against him was probably maltront- mont of o prisoner. I know nothingof tho cir- cumstances boyond what tho ofticor told me, I folt that I must rostore him to duty when they eamo tomo for instructions. I had to do onoe thing or the othor; if X snllowed the man to bo suspended; I must acknowledgo an illogal act to. bo corroct. Sheridan wns _vory . much excitod when ho talked about it. I havo scon him when bo_was, porheps, moro oxcited, but undor difforont circumstances and difforent influonces, 1o said ho beliovod it was o conspirnoy, and that tho othor two Commissionors wore init—a con- Egirncy to_disgraco bim—to make bis labors in tho Polico Dopartment inoporative. Ho roflocted upon tho ather Commissiouers—upon Mr., Mason a8 ono of the blackguurds of his native oity. I gave no ovidence of ill-temper until ho do- nounced me ns o fraud, an imposter, and no gentloman, The crovs-sxamination by Mr. Caulfiold was vory protracted. Mr. Wasbburn said: Iundor- stood that Sheridan pusponded Trainor bocause he thought he hnd transconded hia duties in ar- rosting a prisoner by using unuccessary forco. 1 do not think I have tho power undor tlo_char- tor to suspond o patrolman, I think Idid my duty by restoring Trainor to duty. I think it is my duty, whon an oflicor comes toma for instruc- tions, not to toll him that anact which is palpably illegal, aithough dono by & Commissioner, it cor- rect, Trainor Lag since boen dismissed from tho force, I olaim that I had no official knowledge of tho complaint, I ondeavored to inform my- self as to his guilt ; T had information from the man himsolf, and from n commissioned ofticor, and T think'T talked with Capt. Buckloy sbouf it, though ho did not know much about it. I am ponitive that Shoridan called mo a dirty Dlnckguard. I do nmot think I -called Lim & @ liar; do mot think I.used a rofane word, 88 I am _mot in tho abit of using sich_languago. I do not with to bo uuderstood as udmitting that I calted him a d—— liar or & God d—'liar, nor as impoach- ing tho tostimony of the witnesses who say I used those expressions. Q.—Did you tell him your name was Wash- burn, aud you could b found at any time and placa ? A.—T presumo I did, Q.—What did you menn bythat? A.—Ido not know of any particular moeaning to it; I have no interprofation to ut upon it. I didn't mean ‘¢ fight.” do not remoember saying, it I wasn't a cripplo I would not nmil&to the Mayor to suspend: him 8horidan).

Hebad beon requested to bo pregont, by the Superintendent. Tho President of the Board of Polico thon took tho stand, After tolling how the dorks had beon placed, ho said: Bhoridan came in and set down, We were commencing to transact ‘business, when ho gaid, *“IIold on, I have some- thing to soy about the Fourth Precinet Btation,” and bogan talking abont the Tramor case, 'L did not pay particular attention until I heard Bhoridan accusing Washburn of doing somo- thing purposaly to ineult him. Then I thought thoero was something up, and turned around to look at thom. I conldn't underatand what the; woro talking about for a little whilo. Aftor did comprehend it I tried to say & word to Sheridan, but ho Jooked at meo, and looked at Washburn, and talked & groat doal, and finally 1o #aid, T chargo it as o porson! insult, and you know it ; s n put up job on mo. ‘Thon I bogan to wake up & little, and ho said to \\fimhbum that ho was no gentleman to do it [suspond Trainor]., Washburn attempt- od_to oxplain, and Bheridan got mad and 1umpcg up ond told him he was an impostor and no gontloman, and used some vory harsh languago toward him., Waskburn arose and put his hand onan inkstand, sud rnised it onough 80 ns to pill somo of tho ink. Shers idan told -him to throw it, but instead of throw- ing ithoput itdown. 'Then Sheridan com- menced lccunln(i mo of taking his pert, and I ot mad, and told bim he was jealous, Ho had fieun accusing mo of *‘atar-chambor” work, and I told him it was not so; and he ropeated and ropentod it, insisting that I was lying—that it wos true. Whatis it bub calling moa linr —such couduct? I took offenso at it, and ho wout back at Washburn the second time, and I pushoed back my chair and suaid I would have nothing more to do with it, 1 flually quicted down; Igotso madIcouldn't speak. It wae wrong inme, but Icouldu't help it. Bhoridauthen insistod that Washburn know ho was in the room or in the building, and Washburn said he didn't Lnow it, «“eridan said : ¢You did kuow that I wag in the buitding.” That mnde Washburn mad, aud he says, *If you eay that I know you woro in the building, youlio.” Shoridan uiid ; “ You know I was in thio building, and you are a dirty blackguard.” Washburn then enld : ¢ You ave & d——liar,” and I romarkoed * Sherldan, au aro & fool to go on in that way,” I think hoso wero the words I wsed, or * You aro ecting liko & fool” o turned sround to mo and maid, wharply, that I belonged to o country whore thoy rafiiad dlrty blackguaris, and I agked him what “was worsa’ than an Irlsl blnckguard, That was wrong, and I am sOrTYy for it.” Then X eaid, again, I would have no mory to do with 1t, and ‘finally, finding we could do nothing, I arouo from miy ohinir uud went away. s'""";";? soid WBgl]l\)lim \vs: dlmpoalor' 3 ocarpot-bngger, & blackguard, and somethiny elid whioh 1 Have forgotten. 2 On_bLeing oross-oxaminod b; Mr., Makon #aid ; Sheridan said bis namo way Bharidan, and everybody know where to find him, but nobnd{lknaw where to find Washburn, ‘ashburn sald his namo was Washburu, aud ho bo found at any time.
