WHY CAPT. FQT.RY DID NOT EXECUTE A WAR
RANT.
lhe trial of Capt. Foley, of the Tenth Precinct,
commenced on Friday, continued through the whole
day, and without being finished, was adjourned over
till next week. It does seem strange that so much
time should be occupied in trying the case when a.l
that is caarged in the complaint is
•nly defense set up is justification. But the Board
clings to the idea that there can be no justification
to the case, for as soon as the counsel for the Board
exhausted himself, Commissioner Erhardt took up
the cross-examination and tried to open a place for
*
warrant for the arrest of Louisa Smith, charged
with keeping a disorderly house at No. 140 Forsyth
street, and that he kept the warrant m his posses
sion a month and did not execute it. Inspector
Murray and his men raided the house, without any
warrant or evidence to justify it, and there being
no evidence to hold the accused, they were dis
charged. . . ~ .
The very same complaint was made against Gapt.
Murphy, of the Twenty-first Precinct, but Justice
Bixby was less than five minutes on the stand when
the case was dismissed. Justice Bixby stated that
when he issued the warrant it was not to be exe
cuted until the captain bad evidence that he thought
would justify the raid and lead to conviction.
Justice Otterbourg was on the stand an hour, and
frequently repeated that be had given such in
structions to Captain Foley. It turned out at last
that it was Justice Otterbourg that was apparently
on trial as much as Foley, and on several occasions
he declined to answer questions propounded, ns it
was questioning his judicial proceedings. He finally
told the Board that he took the examination in wri
ting himself, of Sergeant Young, who arrested
Louisa Smith by order of Inspector Murray, lhe
Board could have that report if they seat for it, aud
they could see for themselves the reason why he
discharged the prisoner.
The question was asked Justice Otterbourg by Mr.
Mitchell if he had issued warrants for the arrest of
Lonisa Smith, previous to the last one given to
Captain Foley. . c . .
This was objected to by Counsel for the Board.
Mr. Mitchell said there had been arrests of the
alleged proprietor of the house up to a short time
before the issuing of the warrant, but the captain
was unable to bring the proof that Louisa Smith
was in fact the proprietress. He had directions to
get the proprietor or proprietress. The defense,
therefore, was that having learned who the prop-io -
tor was, be took the necessary steps to catch him
in the house at the time be raided it.
Mr. Mitchell then asked of the Judge:
“Did you give any directions at the time that the
warrant was issued to the captain
‘I did.”
“ Will you be kind enough to tell what directions
you gave, if any ?”
•* Not to make any arrests without securing the
proprietor. That was my express directions, aud
my uniform directions.
“Do you remember making ,thcsQ remarks, ‘Be
sure and get the proprietor ?’ ”
vldo.”
«• What is your rule about the affidavit ?”
“The officer is called to the wording of the com
plaint, and bis attention is called to the fact that he
must be able to prove the allegations in the com
plaint.”
The Judge then went on to state that when he
found Louisa Smith had been arrested by Sergeant
Young, without a warrant, he took the sergeant’s
affidavit. But he knew nothing. Captain Foley was
in court, and so was officer McGrath, who swore out
the warrant against Louisa, but they gave no evi
dence, as they knew that she was not the proprie
tress of the house, only an inmate. Positive infor
mation of that fact had been obtained after the war
rant had been issued. Here is Judge Otterbourg’s
description of the Court proceedings :
«‘I took the affidavit in writing, and the testimony
3n writing, myself. It appeared from the testimony
©f Sergeant Young that he knew nothing of the
house except what he heard in the station-house,
and in the Inspetor’s office, that it was a house of
prostitution. 1 asked if there was any complaint
made to him. No. I asked how he came to ‘pull’
the house. He said the Inspector told him. I asked
,if he had received complaints from citizens. He
said, No. I asked if the Inspector was present. He
said, No. I asked if he knew any citizens’ names
that had complained. He said, No; he acted under
the Inspector’s orders. 1 asked what he found. He
said. Louisa Smith, in the lower part of the house,
. and another woman. I asked if there was anything
Improper. He said, No. And so on all through,
. and I was satisfied I could not hold them, and I dis
charged them. In conclusion, I said it was evident
the Inspector and Superintendent had information
. that this warrant was in the hands of an officer. I
thought as long as there was a warrant issued by me
against the house, it was right and proper that that
warrant should be used, and the complaint and
proper evidence be produced by the officer. I con
sidered it improper to ‘puli’ the house with the
knowledge that I had issued a warrant, and it was
In the hands of an officer. They had no evidence
that the house was disorderly. I remember now,
the sergeant did not know Louisa Smith was the
proprietor. He was the only complainant, and on
his testimony I dismissed the case.”
To a question by counsel tor the Board, the Judge
said: “1 don’t think 1 should answer these ques
tions. It looks as if my action was reviewed, and it
is hardly proper. There is no objection to getting
the papers showing the ground on which I dismissed
the complaint.”
He was asked why Capt. Foley did not re-arrest
the parties after they had been discharged. He
could not tell; be could if he was so inclined.
Ln answer to Commissioner Erhardt, the Judge
said it was discretionary when to execute the war
rant. The point w’as to get the proprietor.
Counsel for the Board asked : “Then, if this ar
rest was made under the direction of Inspector Mur
ray, you bad no proof there was any disorder in the
bouse?”
z ‘l claim,” said the Judge, rather sharply, “the
privilege I did before. You have no power to review
iny proceedings. You can have the papers on file.”
Policeman McGrath, who obtained the warrant
from Justice Otterbourg to arrest Louisa Smith, tes
tified that all he know about her was, she was an in
mate of a Loose of bad repute, but did not know she
was the proprietor. He did not know it was a dis
orderly house when he made his affidavit. AU his
knowledge was obtained from others. He knew of
no witnesses that he could get to substantiate the
charge he had made. He knew of nobody that could
prove Louisa to be the proprietor. After tue war
rant was issued the captain instructed him to watch
the house and catch a man in it that they had learned
was proprietor, and then arrest all hands.
Patrolman McGowan said he earned the warrant
•a little while and kept watch on Grodier, the pro
prietor of the house, whom they wanted to catch in
it. He met Grodier frequently in the Bowery, and
was asked the very foolish question, why be did not
arrest him.
A witness who was subsequently called, gave a
pertinent answer to that query. He said he met
Capt Foley, in Grand street, the sth of September.
(The captain had just obtained the warrant). He
asked him why he didn’t pull No. 140 Forsyth
street. He replied he didn’t know the proprietor.
He told him it was Grodier. The captain asked him
to make affidavit of that fact. He said no, but if he
eaught Grodier in the house, and “pulled” it, he
would come up and testify to that fact.
Capt. Foley said the house bad been pulled twice.
The first time the proprietor was set down as John
Brown. It could not be proven and he was dis
charged. The second time Louisa Smith was arrest
ed and as it could not be proven she was pro
prietress she was discharged. They could only
prove them inmates of a disorderly house. On lhe
afternoon of the 6th he got the warrant for Louisa
Smith as proprietress; but he did this just as a war
rant is often obtained for John Doe. He had been
Informed that Grodier was the proprietor, but there
was nobody that could prove it. When iie met this
gentleman, who said that be would swear that Gro
dier was proprietor of the house, if arrested in it,
ho delayed executing the warrant until he could
catch him in it, and .he put a number of officers on
the house to watch and catch him. That was the
reason why he delayed the execution of the warrant.
One oi the witnesses gave this little bit of informa
tion relative to the issuing of warrants for the
breaking up of houses of bad repute:
*• You say as soon as he (Foley) got a warrant, they
knew it?”
“ Yes, sir,” said the witnest.
“ How do you know ?”
“I knew it on several occasions. They knew it
before they could be executed.”
“ You say Grodier knew of it?”
“Yes, he told me. He told me that on the first
and second occasions when a warrant was issued for
No. 140 Forsyth street, he knew of it an hour after
it had been issued.”
This is one of the mysteries of a police court.
Judge.Otterbourg said that in issuing warrants to
break up these houses he took the affidavits in his
private room and issued the warrants in private.
Me wasileo particular in his instructions to be sure
and wait.till they could get the proprietors. He felt
annoyed, after having issued warrants, to ba com
pelled to discharge the prisoners for want of evi
dence. He could not heip it, but the press com
mented on it, and he tried to have the business
properly dopes, so that there would be no necessity
lor comments.
The case comes up next week, and what further
testimony will be forthcoming it is impossible to
eay. The defense hae been put in, the prosecution
is now to come. A rather singular way for a court
to conduct a case.
A WEEK OF HUMILIATION.
For several reasons unexplainable, unless it be
that the Legislature /will soon bo in session, a num
ber of the oldest and best captains are to be put on
trial next week,
Capt. Caffray, of tha First Precinct, is to be placed
en trial next Tuesday tor sending in a complaint
against an officer, charging him with being “ofl
post,” instead of “improperly patreiing “ it. A
technical mistake.
The charge against Oapt. Lowery, is also set down
for Tuesday. This is either a dismissal from the
department or complaint dismissed. The complaint
is drinking in liquor eiloons while in uniform, aud
with being intoxicated while in oozninaud of his
precinct.
The second charge against Capt. Foley for regis
tering himself at the station-house when he should
Lave done it from ILs residence, is also set down
for Tuesday.
On Wednesday, regular trial day, Capt. Seibert’s
case comes up, adjourned without taking testimony
from last week.
On Thursday Capt. Foley’s case is continued.
Some day, Captain Ward, of- the Twenty-second
Precinct, is to be put on trmd for failing to be at a
fixe.
Thursday, Police Surgpon MdLeod is to be put on
trial for failing to discover the nature of a disease
which a patient has been Buffering from for nearly
nine months. If they convict him of the charge,
then his reputation as a surgeon is gone. A very
eerious result.
SWAPPING WATCHES.
Montgomery, of the TbJrty-third Precinct, failed
to be on his relieving point, 160th street and Third
avenue, at the proper time. The roundsman went
there, and couldn’t find him at twelve minutes past
six. The relief came along and relieved the rounds
man, who waited a little wh'le longer. He rapped
for Montgomery, b.a) Lie did not show up.. Jn the
Bfation-koase he sitiA Tateh bad wtopped.
' "'W ,W? *
<•1 traded watches with a man on the avenue,
said Montgomery, “and bo said it was out of repair,
and to look out or it would get me in trouble. And
sure it has. There was no second-hand to show
that it ticked, and when I looked at the time, it was
a quarter to six; when I looked ai it the next
time, it was a quarter to six, and that’s why I got
stuck.”
The second-hand still stands at a quarter to six.
WOULD NOT THROW UP TELE SPONGE.
Rooney, of the Fourteenth Precinct, did not re
lieve on his relieving point at the proper time. Ho
was standing at the corner of Spring and .Mott
streets, at three minutes to six, a block off his re
lieving point, his head half in a liquor store, bolding
a conlab with the bartender. The conversation was
so interesting, he didn’t notice the relief come out.
The relief had to rap for him to come to the reliev
ing point. His excuse was that the station-house
clock had. “jumped,” and was ahead of time.
“You have had a number oi charges for conversa
tion,” said Oom. Erhardt, looking at the record.
“How long have you been in the Fourteenth?”
“Since the Sixth was broken up.”
“ Where do you live ?”
“No. 163 Mott street.”
“ Mark him transferred,” said the Commissioner.
PASSED A FIRST-CLASS EXAMINATION.
McCoy, of the Twenty-ninth Precinct, was absent
from reserve du’y.
“How was that?” askod the Commissioner.
“ Here you have a splendid record; not a mark on
it”
“I have just been appointed.”
“You have?”
“Yes, sir; that was the first day I had been out of
school.”
“It was?”
“I was to go on duty next day, and didn’t think I
had to report on reserve.”
“You didn’t?”
“SoI was told.”
“You should have remained in school another
day.”
“I passed a first-class examination, Mr. Presi
dent.”
“ You did ?” said Oom. Erhardt
OFF THE PERPENDICULAR.
Cromie, of the Twenty-third Precinct, was charged
with failing to report at the proper time at return
roll call.
“ How was that ?”
•• My family moved two days previous.
“What has the family moving to do with your
movements?”
“ The clock, when set up, was off the perpendicu
lar, and it stopped. But I got there as the men were
coming out—two minutes late.”
SAT ON HIS STICK.
Roberts, of the Twenty-first Precinct, was charged
with sitting on a pail at No. 508 Second avenue.
“ Why was this ?” asked the Commissioner.
“I wasn’t sitting on the paiL I was in the act of
Waning on my club, this way. (A rest from behind.)
When I heard the tramp of feet I camo to rest.
“I believe the roundsman’s words,” said Oom. Er
hardt.
DIRTY IffNEN.
Ellard, of the Twenty-first Precinct, was charged
by Inspector Murray with not having sufficient bed
ding, and having soiled sheets and pillow slips. He
had ouly a single mattress that pressed down on the
iron of the bed. A second complaint was failing to
relieve on his relieving point. The roundsman
stood on the relieving point till the relief came.
When asked where he relieved, he said Thirty-ninth
stroet. The relieving point was Forty-second street.
Ellard said that night there was considerable
trouble on his post between Thirty-eighth and Thir
ty-ninth streets, while going to his relieving point,
lie dispersed that crowd, than another gathered,
aud he disposed of that By that time the relief
came up before he could reach Forty-second street
He told the roundsman why he was detained. If
Ellard had passed these rowdies unnoticed, there
might have been a charge made against him that
would break him; doing his duty be bad a charge
preferred against him.
WORRIED TO DEATH.
Frederick Pell, of the Thirty-first Precinct, was
charged with intoxication. He partially admitted
the charge, and said his family had been sick, and
he had bean up such a number of times for trial be
fore the Board—on three charges the week previ
ous—and between sickness and worriment he
thought he would take a glass of brandy. That
glass had completely upset him. He threw himself
on the mercy of the Board.
MADE HIS OWN RELIEVING POINT.
Walsh, of the Nineteenth Precinct, was found
standing at Fifty-fourth street, when he should
Lave been at Fifty-ninth street, which was the re
lieving point. He was asked why be was standing
there. He said ha had relieved hie man and had
stepped off the car to see a friend.
On trial, Walsh said weekdays this was the reliev
ing point, as there was a cigar factory. On Sunday
they put some people to work, and anticipating
trouble he made that his relieving point
CAPT. SEIBERT’S CASE.
This case was set down for Friday, but for some
reason not stated it went over tor a week.
When the captain’s case has been heard every
body will have been put on trial but the man that
wrote the anonymous letter. The man that got it
to deliver but dropped it on the avenue to be picked
up, was reduced to the ranks; the man that picked
it up and delivered it to Sergeant Larkins, thinking
it of sufficient importance to deliver, caused Sargt.
Larkins to be dismissed from the ioroe. Haggerty
was the man slandered, and Larkins, instead of
sending the document to Inspector Thorne, gave it
to Haggerty, who thought he had a right to retain
it, as it only concerned himself, and he was dis
missed. Haggerty claims that the captain saw the
letter; if he did, then the responsibility is all put on
his shoulders; but he says he never saw tlw tetter,
although he heard ot it
DOING DUTY IN A STABLE.
The charge against Fanning and Walsh of the
Thirty-second Precinct was being off post at 124th
street between Seventh and Eighth avenues, in a
stable, from 3:34 to 5:03 A. M. Roundsman Leuer
son said:
“ I was on the North eide of 124th street, and I
saw the two officers come from Eighth avenue and
go in the stable at 3:34. L remained there till It was
4:46, when Roundsman Gannon came along through
124th street. He informed me that he wanted to
notify Fanning to report at the station house by
order of the Captain. I said he needn’t go any fur
ther, they are in the stable. It was about 4or 4:04 I
rapped on the sidewalk -and got no answer. At 5:02
>.'aiming walked out of the stable, and I asked what
he was doing in there. He made no reply. I asked
again what he was doing in the stable, and he gave
no answer. I then asked who was with him, and he
said Walsh. He was sick. I said if Walsh is sick
what is be doing in there? He answered cuning him
self. Roundsman Gannon went and called Walsh
out and I asked what he was doing there. He said
he was sick. I said he should have reported at the
station-house.
“ Well, Walsh, you were sick ?” asked Oom. Er
hardt. “What was the trouble ?”
“I had the rheumitics. which the doctor can tes
tify to. It was coining on a storm at the time, and
it made me worse than usual, and I want to rest
myself, and didn’t oomo out till the roundsman call
ed me.”
“ Were you sitting down or standing upT*
“ Sitting down; I wasn’t able to stand up.”
“ How did you come to shut the door?”
“O,” said the roundsman, “Fanning told me he
shut it to prevent the horses getting out.”
“ Who shut it?” asked the Commissioner.
“I did,” said Fanning.
“Who bolted the door/’”
“ I did,” said Fanning. “ I put a stick at th a b&ok
of it.”
A roaring fine will accompany that case.

BUD CROWHEB AT THE HANGTOWN BALL,
a
Dan De Qutfle’s Racy Story of One of Cali
fornia’s Pioneers.
f
Up in the hall of the Pacific Coast Pioneers, a few
evenings since, several of the “Old Boys” and a
I number later comers, their friends and admirers,
were talking over early days in California.
“I shall never forget my first ball in California,”
said Bud Orowner. “It was at Hangtown, in ’52.
r “In crossin’the plains wo had all kinds ot bad
luck. We had some of oar horses stole by the In-
• juns, some died and at last we left behind wagons
and everything but what we could carry on our
backs >
“It wag every feller for himself in a short time. I
, traveled on foot and tuck the desperate chances ©f
J flndin’ grub among sich wagons and camps as I
1 passed.
“Nearly naked and half starved I finally got to the
Humboldt. I found a large party of emmigrants
camped that for a day or two to rest, wash clothes,
“ bake bread and the like.
“I was a rough-lookin’ customer. I had on an old
’ roundabout or WBmu% that I had worn ail the way
9 from Pike, trowsers that was ready to drop off mo
and a pair of moccasins I got from a Shoshone In
jun for an old jack knife.
1 “A man at the camp took pity on me and, show
ing me two pairs of green baize drawers, told me if
I’d wash ’em I might have one pair for my trouble.
f “As they were sound and much better than my
\ old pantaloons, I jumped at the chance. I washed
7 the articles and hung ’em up on a bunch of willers
. to dry.
“Presently the feller came and took one pair,
leavin’ the other for me. He was a little, spindlin’
bit of a cuss, while I, even at that time, starved as I
1 was, weighed nigh on to 170 pounds.
“I took the drawers and went some distance
e down the river, behind a bunch of willers, to make
0 my toilette. Tbe washin’ and dryin’ had shrunk
’ the drawers to sich an extent that it took me half an
1 hour to git into ’em. They was skin tight, and
• lacked six inches of reachin’ down to my ankle
1 jiuts.
• “I walked up and down the bank of the creek for
3 a long time before I could make up my mind to go
’ back to camp. I went and looked for my old breech-
• es, but I had thro wed ’em into the creek in the
» start and they had floated off or sunk somewhere.
1 “As I walked up and down that by the water my
■ long, slim, green legs made me look like a fly -up-the
‘ creek, a crane, or some sich water fowl.
3 “When I went to camp everybody roared and
laughed, some rollin’ themselves on the ground and
u roarin' till they was black in the face.
“To keep the sun from burnin’ my ankles, I got
some cloth and made straps, so I could strap the
; drawers down to my moccasins.
I “In passin’ along by the wagons I overtook, I
had to stand all the fun that people saw fit to poke
. at me.
. “‘Here comes the great crane of the desert!'
, some would say, while others called me the ‘ green
t dragyn of the plains.'
“ When I got to Hangtown, I found out that there
was to be a grand ball that night on the edge of
town. Before ecatterin' out into different parts of
the country, the people were going to have a big
I dance together.
1 “In the evenin’ I thought I’d slip down to where
- the dance was to come off, and look on awhile. I
j found they hail set up a lot of crotches, in which
1 they had laid poles, coverin’ the whole with pine
and spruce boughs, xnakin* a sort of canopy. The

boxes, and with tli<yn a feller with a clarionet. They
were makin’ prett/ fair music, and a great crowd
was dancin’ away for dear life.

cited like, forgot all about my drawers, and sailed
into the thick of the business with a big Pike county
j gal, with sun bonnet off and Lair hangin* half way

J “I can tell you we made the dust fly. I soon saw
1 that, though my drawers might baa little tight, I
' had on about the soundest and gayoat rig in the
whole place. 1 looked as though in some kind of
7 masqueradin’ outfit, and began to consider myself
• the beau of the ball—a regular dandy.
1 “I made them long, green legs of mine fly in
1 swingin’ on the corners, and was the wonder of
• every man, woman, and child at the ball. I got so
3 excited about the sensation I was makin* that I cut
1 all kinds of pigeon wings and fancy flourishes, bring
» in* down the bouse every time.
•“Go in, green legs!’the fellers outoide would
holler, and go in I did. Finallv, a couple of children
„ come waltzin’ along. I thought it would be a good
jj trick to sling one of my long,'green legs, circus fash-

~ “ I tried it, and heerd somethin’ rip—you can
tfuess what had happened. I left that hail, runnin’
1 like a skeerod kiotee, and don’t know that I’ve sot
[ eyes on man, woman, or child that was thur from
a that day to this.”
x “ Gness you have,” said an old chap among the
j listeners; “I was thar, and saw the whole perform
v ance. It waa my oldest gal you was a-dancin’
with.”
£ “ The little gal you tried to swing your leg over,”
2 said another old cock, “ was my child, and ahe is now
t the wile of Senator W 3, of California.”
[ “ I am the very man that gave you those green
