Due to an error on the part of the board of public safety in informing Officer Louis G. Quinn of the | charges against him his hearing, which was scheduled for last night, was continued untill Monday night that he may bring witnesses with him. Last night's session of the commis- sion was a busy one and important business was transacted, one of the most. commendable acts being a rec- omendation to the common council that in view of Officer A. C. Malone's brilliant record as a policeman in the ! past and his present serious illness he | be granted leave of absence until Sep- i tember 1, with pay. Among the other business' taken up was the appoint- | ment of two new police officers. Wil- | liam Murphy and William McCue were appointed and Alfred E.‘Magnell was elected clerk of the board to succeed M. M. Cashmore. Quinn’s Charges Differ. Things began to happen shortly after the meeting opened. .Clerk Magnell wps instructed to read the charges against Officer Louis G. Quinn, under suspension, and he did so, read- | ing that on June 6 the patrolman was ! suspended by Chief Rawlings for ap- pearing in court as a witness in an intoxicated condition and for cenduct unbecoming an officer. Then followed a specific account of his offenses: Asked if he was guilty the officer re- plied that on’the set of charges sent him there was no mention made of in- toxication and he certainly would not plead guilty to it, although he would admit conduct unbecoming an officer, Immediate investigation lon .the part of the board brought olit the fact that in copying the charges against Officer Quinn the charge of intoxica- tion had been accidentally left out. It had appeared in the first paragraph of the chief’s report but in copying the charge the copyist neglected to type that paragraph and simply copied the specific offenses which did not men- tion . intoxication. Officer Quinn de- clared that had he known he was to have that charge against him he would have Ltrought witnesses with him. After some discussion Chief Rawlings was asked to tell of the in- cldents connected with thé suspension of Officer Quinn. 3§ \Chief Tells” or! Qffensc. The, chief stated that on the morn- ing of June 8 Officer Quinn appeared in court as’a witness in a oase ”‘l which' the charge was assault and breach of the peace. He had wanted | to make a theft charge but Prose< cutor Klett had denied his request as hé aia not think the facts in the case warranted it. Officer Quinn had a wordy war with the prosecutor and then went up to the court room. After he had testified and the case was pro- ceeding he arose twice and attempted to interrupt the gourt. He acted in a boisterous manner and the second time, he arose he left the room and went into the patrolmen’s quarters, where the chief followed him. “There I found that Officer Quinn was under the influence of liquor,” said the chief.. He said that the of- ficer’s breath smelled of liquor and his eyes looked. as though. he had: been drinking, while his general conduct showed it. | The chief declared that when he expostulated with the. officer and told him he was suspended the latter replied that there would be no suspension, he was through.. He then “Yold the chief he'was through with the uniform and he could do as he wanted with it. So saying, Officer Quinn left the room, leaving his keys and clothes around the place, testi- fled the chief. Complains About Warrant. In his own behalf Officer Quinn de- clared that all he had to say was that he did not think he should be com- pelled to swear to a warrant he did not think was right and that was what he had to do on the day in question. “When I swear to a thing I want it right,” said the officer. = He said the man should have been charged with theft and he would not swear to any other count. ‘When he came to court that morn- ing, Officer Quinn stated that he talked with several of the officers, in- cluding Sergeant Bamforth, and the remark was made that he was look- ing well, to which he replied that he always tried to look well. He denied that he was under the influence of liquor and declared that the whole trouble was because the chief “did not have enough backbone to back up a man when he is right. When I put up my right hand its got to be right or I don’t want any police job,” stated the accused patrolman. Asked if it was true that he acted boisterously, Officer Quinn replied that it was, as he was angry. He de- clared that before court he had told Prosecutor Klett that he ought not to be forced into court to swear to a warrant that was not right, but he made him testify and as a result there was a scene. “I'd lke’ to ask you one question Officer Quinn,” interrupted Chief Rawlings. “When I told you that your breath smelled of liquor you did not deny it, did you?” “I aidn’t say anything about it. I simply said 1 wan't. going to swear to that warrant and I won't,” he re- plied. Officer Quinn admitted that his en- 1 Gzrl Graduates of St. J?Iary s School (Photo by Knight.) man Alling ruled that it has no bear- ing on the matter in question. 1In conclusion the accused officer said he was willing to plead guilty to conduct unbecoming. an officer, but he would not plead guilty to being intoxicated. Commissioner Healey then asked both men if they were prepared to bring witnesses and they said they were, but the chief remarked that he is not in the habit of bringing charges against a man that are not so. “I said you ought to stand up for a man when he is right,” said Officer Quinn. The chief replied, “I don't want to get into any argument, but I do stand up for a man when he is right and I don’t propose to bring any false charges against any man.” New Hearing Monday. In view of the mistake in the speci- fication of the charges ‘'sent Officer Quinn, Commissioner Healey thought the only thing to do was to either overlook the intoxication charges and proceed with the hearing on the con- duct charge or else prepare a new set of charges and/ continue'the hear- ing. Personally he favored excluding the intoxicatibn charge, inasmuch 'as it was the fault of the board and pro- ceed. Mr. Holmes and Mr. Alling did not think the charge should be dropped and voted, in opposition to Mr. Healey, to make out a new set of charges and have a new hearing on Monday night. Chief Rawlings was asked if it had been his intention to charge Officer Quinn with intoxication and he said he had meant to charge him with be- ing under the influence of liquor, but he, “was not strenuous about it."” As a result of the conference the hearing of Officer Quinn will be held on next Monday evening, when he will haye to answer to the additional charge of being under the influence of liquor. Vote Malone Vacation. Just before tne meeting adjourned the commissioners remarked upon the illness of Officer A. C. Malone and Commissioner Healey made a motion that the board petition the common council to give the officer leave of ab- sence until' September 1, beginning to- day, with full pay. Until the council shall act on the matter each member of the board pledged himself to as- sume the responsibility for the of- | ficer’s pay.

In another case the situation would be different. Mr. Holmes sPoke heartily in favor of this motion, as did Chairman Alling, who lauded Officer Malone ds a capable patrolman with splendid grit who in face of his seri- ous trial has. stuck manfully to his duty. For the past year Officer Malone has been in failing health and has al- ready undergone two serious opera- | tions. A long summer’s rest will give him the necessary time to recuperate.

Fireman Harry Wetmore was also present and given a hcaring. plains because of the amount he h: been charged for the installation of an alarm bell in his house. Chairman Alling reported that the bill was $17 but due to a clerical error it was too small. City Electrician Cooley ex- plained that six men worked five hours to do the job and they had to be paid thirty-eight cents per hour. This, together with the cost of mater- ial, brought the bill up to $17.71. Mr. Wetmore said he had no fault with the work but he didn't see why it should take six men to do it. by the commissioner if he is now sat- isfied, Mr. Wetmore said, “Yes, I sup- The hearing was then declared closed. Electrician Cooley also reported that it will cost about $25 to change the fire alarm box at the Commercial and Main streets. M. P. Leghorn has petitioned that the box be moved as it obstructs the view of his store window. The board decided to have Commissioner Holmes look the ground over with Mr. Cooley be- Mr. Cooley that to move the box to the would entail the nc ping up the permanent pavement and the board objects to this.

Leach, who stated that while 500 feet from Kilbourne's barns his auto was bumped by No. 1 chemical, breaking the fender and doing damage to the extent of §10. Chairman Alling re- | ported that both Chief Dame and Sleath told him that Leach As under the right of way and is not liable for ac- cident he will receive no damages. Mr. Leach wrote that he had Ken- neth K. Harlan with him as a witness, the board instructed the cha to inform Mr. Leach the city would not pay the bill and why. No Fishing Trip Now.
