THE OMAHA DAILY GETTING AT IT BACKWARDS. ‘Witnesses For the Defense Oalled to Frighten Complainants Away. IT IS A MONUMENTAL FIASCO. Commissioner Hartman Declares That Pollcemen Are Being Heard in Their Own Behalf Before Complaint is Made. Police Investigation. It seoms to me that we are going at this investigation wrong ena to. We are having our policemen testify in their own bohalf be- fore we have heard the complaints against them. " “This was the remark of Mr. Hartman at the fire and police commissioners investiga- tion yesterday morning. 1t looked very much that way. When the commission met thera were at least fifcy witnesses present. After two or three of themn_ had been examined the volice woro ealled in and occupied the time until noon telling what they knew in_their own behalf. This was kopt up until the witncsses who were summoned got tired and went aw leaving the examination a decidedly jug handied affair, The first witness was 13, M. Mohr, ajanitor in the Heimrod block on North Sixteenth strect, who was arrested on August 6, for ealiing a policeman to catch a burglar who was in the block. He blow a whistle for a policeman, A man was in the closet. *1 went to him,"" said the witness, “and he told me to keep still. A policoman, Murphy No. 2, came in and asked what [ was doing and threatened to arrost me. He took hold of my arm and pinched me. They did not release me until after the ladies had made an explanation in my behalf. Murphy told me it was a fine of £50 and thir- ty duys in juil for blowitg » whistle. 1've been hiere sixteon years und was never abused before by a policeman. The oficer let the man go Who was trying to get into the win- dow. The policeman_nccused me of being full of beer. Murphy then went into a womin’s room and told her it was all in her imagination, The Mayor- As u matter of fact you were not arrested. The officer was ouly fooling. Mr. Mohr—I didn't think he was fooling. T was in dead earnest about it. Mr. Uartman said there was no the regular force named Murph, have been Murphy, the watc Webster street dey Councilan F, E. Bail refqr: to his knowledge in the case of Mr. James Hodges, who was arrestea for dumping earbage while in the employ of the park commissioners, He wus abused when arrested and thrown on the floor of the jail. Mr. Bailey said that Mr. Hodges had lived as his neighbor for fifteen o and had kuown him as a repatable cit- ze. Mr. Hodges was called. in the case. After taken to the jail, and said: “G— d-—n you, get 1n there." 1 did not want to give up my pocketbook. He shoved me into the jail and calied me a *'G—d d—d rat and a damned dead beat.” The case was dismisscd av the explanavion of the park commissioners. Pat Havey, the jailor who took charge of Hodges, was called. He cluimed that Juage Berka offered to allow Hodges to 2o on his own recognizance, but Hodges refused to do 80. Hodges resisted him when he tried to search him and he had to throw him on the tlour and tuke his pocketbook from him. The investigation practically ended here and the commssioners proceeded to take up in regular police court form the churge of vagrancy against. Billy Nestlehouse. All of the policemen who knew Nestlehouse were put on the stand and required to say the lit- tle picces they have learned by heart i a score of attempts to convict Nestiehouse of vagraucy in the police court. ‘This occupied the time until noon, when the board adjourned until 2 o'vlock. The mayor wants Councilman Kaspar to appear before the commissioners and sub- stantiate the charges he made in the couneil meeting tothe effect that he had been made a special object of police espiona, The police commissioners succeeded yes- terday afternoon in adding several chapters to the volume they are preparing for publi- cation entitled, “Tnvestizations Made Basy, or Every Policeman His Own Best Wit- mess.”” An army of witnesses had been summoned to give evidence iz substantiation of the charges made in the newspapers against certain members of the police force. Very few of those summoned appeared to give evidence, and so the police were given another opportunity to speal in their own behalf, and to prepare defenses to be used in future emergencies. Dump Ofticer Brady got tangled up in his little story about arresting two printers on the charge of pounding a man. His only ev- idence against them wus that one man wore a light colored suit and the other dark clothes, and two men dressed in this style were scen on the dump eariy in the spring. Charles Wetzel, a saloonkeeper on Thir- teenth street, came in aud wld how he had been swindled on a bogus check. He got a ohance to get his money back, but Chief Seavey refused to give up the check, and also refused to explamn why he held 1it. Mr., Wetzel got his money, however, and so he was satistied. Alex Green was given a chance to deny, in advance of any charges, that he had ever wade a mistake in his litetime as far as he knew. In the evening Duff Green came before the board and entered a wholesale and general denial of all charges publhished, or to be pub- lished. The men who bave made statements “and affidavits against the ex-captain have not et appeared before the board, but Creen is usy these days, and so was allowed to offel his defense, that it may be ready when the statements against him are made, if they ever are. T. J. Sheridan and W. R. Hunt appeured efore the commissioners and_gave evidenco concerring their arrest by Ofcer Walker, Mr. Sheridan is an attorney who was ur- rested on the charge of vagranoy while sit- ting in front of his boaraing house reading a puper. Mr. Hunt is & young man who has en in Omaha all his 1Ifo and” was looking at a hlllhling which he had rented fora store _when he was arrested. Both men were discharged without & hearing. A large number of witnesses have been subpoenaed to appear before the commis. sloners this morning ut 9 o'clock. man on It must man at the sy was called in about the facts He told the facts was arrested he was ilor gave me a push he INTIMIDATING WITNESSES, A Burly Policeman Assaults a Wit- ness in Presence of the Commission. The police comwissioners had an ocular demonstration at their meeting yesterday of the hot headedness, to say the least, of a member of the fore During the examination of witnesses in the police examination Jesse Newman, a colored policeman, mude an assault upon Crowell, who was present as i witness be- fore the board, Crowell and Newman had some conversation in the hall before enter- ing the roow. Crowell then went into the commissioners’ room and was standing with his arms folded talking to Richard Wiide when Newiman approachied him, called him u lar and various foul names und struck at him. BSer, ant,” cried Crowell to Sergeant Mostyn, “'this officer is assaulting me."” With this Newman seized Crowell by the throat und pushed him through the door and started toward the jail with hi Crowell broke away and returned to the commission- ers’ room. Newman followed and again seized him by the throat, and the pair struggled into the hall and clinobed. Sergeant Mostyn reached them and hus- tled Newman into the chief’s otlice, but not until he had made several passes at Crow- ell’s face. The deliberations of the commissioners ‘were cut short by the disturbance. When quiet was restored the commissioners invited Oficer Newman to appear be- fore them and tell why he bhad engaged in the row. The ofticer stated that Crowell had called him a vile name that he would not stund from any man and he resented it. “If I had not bad my star on,” said the officer tapping himself ou the breast, I would have pounded his bead ofr.,” Mr. Newman was bowed out and the mat ter dropped. ‘Phe score of svectators who witnessed the assuult were not called upon for a statement and Mr. Crowell was 1ok given a chauce Lo heard. VIOTORY FOR THE MOTOR. Judge Doane Grants the South Omaha Injunotion, : While waiting for the judge to put in an appearance yesterday morning and decide the motor street railway injunction suit for South Omaha, Congressman Connell and General Cowin consumed half an hour dis- cussing the wonderful changes of sentiment which have taken place in a remarkably short period of time. ‘'Less than six months ago,” said Mr. Con- nell, *“we were engaged right here in a bitter fight to prove that electricity as a motive power was practicable, and the street rail- way company, which opposed us, is to.day stringing miles of what it then designated as unsightly poles and dangerous wires, with a view to ultimutely supplanting all its horse cars with motor trains “Yes," replied Cowin, 'we were running is country searching for affidavits to convince our court that _the application of ity as a moans of operating street was not only successful six months ago, but would take the place of everything else.” After the gas controversy had beon set- tled, Judge Doane proceeded to dispose of the street car case. Hisruling was quite lengthy and touched upon questions raised in nearly all the contests that have ocourred within the past seven or eight mouths betwoen these two corporations. 'The facts have hereto: fore been published 1n these columns, and are already familiar to everyone interested. The motor compauy was granted an injunc- tion mainly on the eround that its prior right to possession of the streets in South Omaha had not been sud sfully disputed. While the street railway company had a counter application for an i Junction, and based its claims upon the result of an election granting it franchises, the court held this to be of no consequence. ‘Thab election, he said, ex- tended theso privileges simply to the cable tramway company, and_was not held until after this company had been consolidated with the horse car company, consequent the Omaba street rallway corporation is nov eutitled to the franchise. On the other hand, the motor people had = secured a permit from the board of public works to occupy and lay their tracks on Twenty-fourth street to the south line of this city, and by so doing nouonly manifested a good, but a_most sincere inten- tion of gowng through South Omaha on the same street. The company was ovdered to put up a bond of $10,000 us an evidence of good faith and its purpose to carry on the ctensions ind improvements proposed. 88 was light in the district court yesterday®fternoon. Ja ahan averred in his petition that Edward Cassidy had accepted the posi- tion of stukeholder in u norse race, and had then dropped out of sight with the $200 stake money, of which $100 was deposited by Cal- lahan, who wants a judgment in that awount against Cassidy.

County Counrt. Suits to evict settlers from the river bot- tow lands were begun in the county court yesterday by the Omaba & Southwestern railway company, a corporation which is part and parcel of the Union Pacific com- The defendants were August Powlie, wnknown, and Frederick Al I Sears and J. W. West against Ada B. Toft et al, to recover on three promissory notes, each of the face value of §70.29, and all drawn on the 27th day-of May, 1587. Another suit to recover on promissory notes was brought by M. L. Roeder agai Evelyn Booth. e amount at stake is 8565, with' interest. An unpaid_insurance claim_caused a suit, James Callaban petitioned for judgment agminst the Phounix lnsurance company in the sum of $600. Judgment for $034.02 was asked by Silas D. Pike against the Union Stock Yards com- pany., Pike alleged that the defendant had damaged him to that amount by breach of contract. The Paxton Vierliug Iron works sued the Nebraska Tile and Pottery company to re- cover $339.97 due on account. 1t was all over a dog, the last quarrel re- ferred to the court. George Cauntleid owned a vicious dog. ‘The animal bit Alfreda Swa- bury severely, inflicting $1,000 worth of mental and physical ibjury, which amount the plaintift asks judgment for.
