Most of the victims of Tighe were discharged by Magistrate Nolan in the Night Court afte they had been locked up for two hours, The wo- men and a little giri were set free earlier by the police of the West 47th Street Station, who showed the customary energy in suppressing as much as possible of the evidence of a “brother officer's” indiscretion. When Mayor Hylan asked Commis- sioner Enright for a report on Tighe’s behavior, the Commissioner informed him that the Chief Inspector, was already making an investigation and would do whatever was necessary.
