After a lengthy session last night the Police Commissioners filed charges against Patrolmen Helms, Rice and Hsola, three of the men whose names have been mentioned in connection with the burglaries committed some time ago near the water front. Helms was charged with conduct unbecoming. that the person who committed an officer, which consists of beating his wife, ahd Esola and Rice with neglect of duty in failing to report having seen the window of Newbauer's factory open on the night it was robbed. Former Captain of Police Dunleavy was the only man who had any start- ling disclosures make. The veteran officer swore that Mrs. Helms admitted to him more than a year ago that her husband was a burglar. She sald he told her he had been engaged in ply- ing the profession of a burglar in com- any with Chapelle and Edner, and that he had in her home a valise filled with | valuable silk, which she said her hus- | band bad stolen. “I reported this matter to Chief Witt- man,” said Dunleavy, “and he advised me to keep it quiet. He said he would have the men watched constantly, and as soon as he had any proof they were burglars he would file scharges against them. We watched the men from that time on and they were found off their beats, but we were unable to get any- thing more on them. “I do not know what Chief Wittman ! did in the matter, or whether he ever saw Mrs. Helms or not. I simply took my orders from him and did not try to interfere in the matter by securing the goods which the woman sald she had in her home. I belleve the woman’s story, for lhb seemed sincere when she spoke to me.” LOGAN TELLS HIS S'I'ORY. Patrolman Logan was the first wit- ness of the evening. He simply retold his story of how he saw a ladder up against the store of Newbauer Brothers and recognized Patrolman Rice as he came down the ladder out of the place. He asked Rice what the matter was and the latter told him he had seen the window open and went across the street, where he secured the ladder and went in to investigate. “1 did not recognize the other of- ficer,” said Logan. “Rice told me he went up the street after him when he saw the window open. He did not tell me his name. The second man seemed to keep in the bs.ckgronnd and had nothing to say.” Special Officer Watson, who was sup- posed to know all about the thing,’ proved a very poor witness. He swore he was not In the vicinity of | the place when the alleged burglary happened and did not see a ladder up against an open window. He was called to the chair later on in regard to the Collins saloon robbery, but again he falled to reveal anything that would throw light on the mystery. It was expected that Mrs. Helms! would be present to give her testimony, but she refused to obey the summons, acting on the advice of her attorney. An officer was sent after the woman, but this did no good. The Commis- | sioners will make an effort to \force tell all she knows. Jesse and Eugene Newbauer, her to appear at the next nimln: and 1 prietors of the place that was robbod. m $1,000,000 whole | (took the stand and told of how they had missed goods out of the place on | | several occasions and how the articles | had been carried out. The boxes con- taining the shirt waists were unpacked and the goods taken out of them in many instances, The former (e!!lfled the' |erimes was not familiar with the | premises, for he evidently roamed all around the place before securing his loot. Sergeant Jesse Cook testified that Helms was in the habit of entering a Market-street restaurant every morn- 1ing eating his fill and then carrying j:rvay such articles of food as pleased m, this and it was “‘stood in” him free entry to the place. Lieuten- ant McManus and Lieutenant Wall also testifled as to the maneuvers of the ac- cused officers on their beats, but ad- mitted they never could get any evi- dence that the trfo was robbing places. Captain Spillane told of ' watching the ‘accused men and conferring with Chief Wittman regarding the matter. But he, too, was baffled in his efforts to trace any crime to them, though he followed them carefully and had them all watched closely. Jules Callundan of the Morse patrol testified about hav- ing received a complaint from the res- taurant man regarding Helms, but knew nothing more. HELMS BEATS HIS SPOUSE. Mrs. Collins, a friend of Mrs. Helms, swore she heard Helm admit in her presence that he had beaten his spouse and would do so again. Dr. Millar, chief of the Emergency Hos- pital staff, said he treated Mrs. Helms for numerous bruises inflicted by her hushand and that the woman seemed badly broken up over these beatings. The matter of the death of Special Patrolman George F. Nichals five years ago was also taken up. After exam- ining several witnesses who were on the ground shortly after the murder, discovered the officer ated former Officer Samuels, whom some suspected of having committed the crime. ~There was absolutely no | evidénce against Samuels and it looks as if this case Is closed for good and all. The Commissioners did not put Helms on the stand, but he will probably be called at the next meeting. The board summoned Rice as the last witness aud the vicinity of the Newbauer store »n { the night of the burglary, but failed | to make a report. | " The boara will take up the matter again at the call of the chalr, which will be within the next two days. It is its intention to delve deeper Into the matter and make an effort to learn | | more about the mysterious robberles. | It is likely the three policemen will be dismissed on the present even if nothing else can be ohu.lnlfl A‘alnut them. s e e | /Mexican Bankers Sell Pesos.
