Captain and Two Sergeants of Highbridge Station Will Be Placed on Trial. The soporific effect of the climate of the Bronx on mounted policemen was again proved to-day by Chief Inspector Schmittberger when he astealthily en- tered an old barn in Ogden avenue, near One Hundred and Seventieth street and found four policemen in uniform asleep ‘n four stalls, and four police horses contentedly munching rations im four ‘talls on the other side of the building. The raid hae caused the suspension of seven policemen of the Highbridge sta- ton, who will be placed on trial next Monday. The seven men acoused are Capt Charles C. Wendell, charged with fall- ing toe maintain proper discipline and patrol. Sergt. Joseph T.

On two accasions Schmittberger has found mounted policemen supposed to be on post enjoying luxurious repose in | the barn on the Morisini estate in River-| dale, He was not surprised when in-| formation reached him recently that| since the Morisini barn had become dis- credited a# a lodging house for police- men and their horses a new hangout had been established in Ogden avenue near One Hundred and Seventieth street. In the darkest hour just before the dawn to-day Schmittberger and Capt. Thor and Patrolman Creamer of his) personal staff motored up to the Bromx, left thelr car in @ safe place and de- ployed on foot to the specified Ogden avenue barn, They remained for half an hour watching all the exits. Nobody appeared, but there was borne to thelr ears on the chill morning alr sounds as of snores of mien and the champing and tall swishing of hor: Promptly at 6 o'clock Schmittberger | and his aides softly opened the door of | the barn and entered. Protruding from four stalls they saw the feet and put teed lower limbs of four policemen, In four opposite stalls four contented po- lice horses were taking thelr ease, stripped of saddles and bridles, The sleepers were allowed to sleep a few minutes, Then they were gently aroused. As they recognised Schmitt berger they scrambled out of their warm, soft straw bed and made a con- certed dive for thelr caps and coats, which they had discarded before com- posing themselves for slumber.
