JUDGE H. M. FISHER COMMENDS
POLICEMAN'S ACTION
"A policeman who has a social
spirit and is willing to go out of his
way to ascertain places that are a
menace to boys, I want to commend.
I am glad to find there is a growing
number of officers willing to help him
out."
Officer Herman K. J. Otten of the
24th precinct drew this from Judge
Harry M. Fisher in the boys' court
Otten has on several occasions
brought into court boys found in the
poolroom of Edward Riley, 3144 Har
rison st, said to be the hang-out of
hardened criminals.
Two days ago Riley told the officer
he better leave the poolroom alone,
according to testimony, and Officer
Otten brought Riley into court on a
disorderly charge.
"Complaints have been made
against this poolroom by Probation
Officer Kelly of the court," Judge
Fisher said, "but he has not been
able to get any of the parents to sign
a complaint To stop an officer on
the street and curse him for testify
ing against such a place is sufficient
in my estimation to merit a fine of
$10 and costs, which is the fiding in
this case.
"I have had occasion to criticize
the officers who are overzealous or
unfair in their treatment of ithe boy,
but I am more anxious to commend
the officers who consider the boy, and
I want to say that some of the police
officers are co-operating with this
court to the extent of trying to help
boys get employment. There are
bad policemen, but a great number
of them are friends of boys and I
want it known that this is my
opinion."
