HUMORS OF THS POLICE.
BEFORE COMMISSIONER M CLAVE.
HE WAS COAXED TO WITHDRAW HIS COM
PLAINT AGAINST BRENNAN.
Brennan, of tbo Twelfth Precinct, charged with
assaulting Citizen Stable, fluid he was guilty, lhe
Commissioner said he would hear what Ire had to
Bft ” I met this man coming out of a hallway at 119th
street and Second avenue at three o’clock in the
morning. He started off on a run. I ran alter him
and told”him to stop. He caught hold of my stick
and tried to take it from me.”
»• What street and number?”
••I forget the number; it was 119th street. As he
came out he ran; and I ran alter him and overtook
him. 1 asked him what he was running for. He
toid me it was noue of my business. 1 started to
take him back from where he came, and he took a
ho.d ot me and took my stick. I asked, him to ge
back and ho refused, and I struck him.”
•‘You said I ran from the hallway? said Mr.
Stable.
•• Yes, sir.”
“ Didn’t I walk ?”
“No.” .. .
A telegraph messenger, aged fourteen, said “ Q
saw the muss on Second avenue at three o clock in
the morning. Complainant was running, and the
officer halloed three or four times “stop.” He got
up to him and hauled off with his club and hit him,
why, he didn t know.
Captain Hooker said all he know was the condi
tion of the man alter assaulted. He was not intoxi
cated.
Mr. Stable said he had kept a lager beer saloon at
119th street and Third avenue for four years. He
thought it strange that the officer, being on that
post, did not know him. Very few in Harlem
didn’t. On that night he walk d easy from his
place of business. It was snowy and cold, and
shortly alter he started on a run to get warm. He
had not run fitteen or twenty paces when the officer
cried ••stop,” and asked him where ho Was going.
He said home. The officer said: “You don't be
long here; you don’t live this way; yeu are too
smart altogether.” Stable replied that he was doing
nothing. The officer said be would like to knock
down such a man as he was. Brennan pretended
to take S2O out of his pocket, and said he would bet
twenty to ten that he could “down” him or any
other Dutchman tn twenty minutes ; and said :
•• You are too fresh 1”
First Brennan struck with his fist, then his club.
"When he got the second blow, which covered him
With blood, Stable said:
“ Please let me alone; I will go.”
He pleaded to be let up on, and he would go to
the station-house—anywhere—if he would stop
clubbing him. The officer clubbed him back to the
avenue right in front of his place. He ran from the
east to the west side of the street, and the officer
said:
“Stop, you Dutch son of a , or I will put a
bullet through you.”
He could not run any further, and he was again
struck.
' That’s the way he used me,” said Mr. Stable,
•‘ He broke my skull; my arms are black and blue.
I don’t know if I took his club to save myself. I
was covered with blood. I had no hat. I was stiff
and cold. I know he had the club. I could not re
sist in any way. In front of the station-house he
hit me.”
“ What charge did you make against him ?” asked
Oemmissiouer Mediave.
'• Suspicious character,” said the officer.
“ How long on that post?”
“Five months.”
•' You didn’t know he kept a place there ?”
“No, I never saw him there. I have seen a wo-
Sian there: his wife, I suppose.”
“How was he suspicious?”
“Because he ran.”
“ What disposition was made of the caso?”
“ Justice Power ordered him to make a complaint
.against the officer, but he withdrew his complaint
in court,” said Captain Hooker.
Justice Power sat by Com. McClava.
“ Why did yon withdraw your complaint?” asked
lhe Commissioner.
•• My wife and others didn’t want me to go
against him, he would go to prison. I could get
satisfaction before the Commissioners.”
“ Dont you think if he beat you as you have
stated, that he should go to prison ?’*
'• Yes, sir.”
“You should not have withdrawn the complaint,”
remarked the Commissioner.
Dr. Curry testified to dressing Mr. Stable’s
wounds.
A RARE “JACKETING” THEY GAVE CITIZEN
KANE.
Frank Kane, who was clubbed by Officer Harrigan,
of the Twenty-second Precinct, was thoroughly
sworn out of bis boots.
Captain Killilea said some hours after the assault,
on the same morning, Kane came to the Station
House and said he had been assaulted by an officer,
and asked h>m to look at hie body. He took him in
his room and stripped him. His arms and body
Were a mass of bruises as black as coal.
Sergeant Stevenson said 2:45 A. M., Kane came to
the Station-house crying. He had been assaulted by
an officer but did not know his name. He asked
him how he camo to be assaulted. He said be was
•n the sidewalk near the corner, and while speak
ing to a lady, the officer came up and said : “What
the devil are you doing here ?" then assaulted him
and knocked him down, and broke his arm. He
asked him if he wanted to go to the hospital; no he
would call on the doctor. He told him to call next
day at 6 o’clock, roll call. He concluded to go to
the hospital. At 4 o'clock the officer brought him
in and charged him with being an escaped prisoner.
Be saw do grounds to hold Kane and discharged
him.
Sergeant Pickett said when Kane came to the
Station-house to make complaint, he was sober.
Frank Kane, the complainant, said he lived at
No. 115 West Fifty-first street, and had been coach,
aaan for Mr. Juliet five months; before that two
years and a halt for Sol Sayles. On the morning of
the 26th of January, the officer clubbed him and did
Sot arrest him. Alter leaving the Statiou-house and
going to the hospital the officer arrested him. At
balf-past 1 he was clubbed from Fifty-first to Fifty
third street. He had done nothing. He was on his
way to his stable when a lady asked him for protec
tion. He said very good, but it was a late hour to
be out. He went with her as far as Mr. Cleary’s,
*nd thinking she was thirsty he took her in and
gave her a drink, Further on they got to Mr.
Smith’s and had another drink. When they came
out of Smith’s and were standing on the corner, he
was assaulted. He didn’t know the lady, they were
strangers to each other.
“A stranger and you gave her a drink?” asked
the Commissioner.
“Ladiesare thirsty sometimes, too," said Kane.
“Did you take a drink with her?”
“ I took ale, I had nothing to drink before that.
When we came out the officer came up and said:
“You dirty son of a ” (laughter among the
officers).
“ Was that the first thing he said ?”
“ Yes, sir.”
“Why did he say that?”
“I don’t know, it was without provocation. I
had just come out of Smith’s liquor store at
Fifty-third street and Seventh avenue.”
“This lady came out with you at the same time
when you met the officer and he came up de
liberately and struck you without saying a word.”
” Yes, sir, he repeated these words after clubbing
me. I never saw the officer before in my life.”
“When he clubbed you, what did you say ?”
“For God’s sake take me to the station house,
but he beat me all the way.”
Renewed laughter among the police.
He said the officer sent a party to him and offered
to settle for thirty dollars, he said no.
The officer (Harrigan) said, after making the ar
rest, Kane broke away from him. When he put
him under arrest, Kane clenched him by the
throat and both rolled on the ground, and he
got away at Fifty-first street.
“ What was he doing ?”
“At a quarter past one I heard a woman scream
Bear Fifty-third street. This man Kane had his
arm around the woman’s waist, trying to take her
in the hall. I went across the way and he let go of
the woman and I held on to him, and he grabbed
me by the neck at Fifty-second street, and I used
my club. We clenched and he rolled over me. He
.got up and ran into an alley way, and got away.
Two hours after I met him, rapped for my side
partner and arrested him.”
Daniel Cleary, who keeps the liquor store at the
corner ef Fifty-third street and Sixth avenue, sail
he saw Kane in his saloon about 12 o’clock with a
lady, and they had drinks. As he was leaving he
asked for a bottle of whiskey so that he might
.knock the woman out. He told Kane he didn’t do
business that way. They became disorderly, and
he ordered them out. She was intoxicated.
“ I am surprised to hear you say she was drunk,”
•aid Kane.
“ Yes, and when you ordered a drink for her, you
•aid make it as strong as you can.”
John Smith, liquor dealer, Fifty-third street and
Seventh avenue, said Kane and a woman came to
his place between one and two o clock. He came
in at the female entrance with a lady, and pushed
her in the room. He objected. Kane had tried the
•ame thing on with a woman a year ago. Kane got
mad, and rather than have any trouble, he gave
them two glasses of lager.
Smith then went into the pool room, and was
gone five minutes, and, coming back, found them
in the bar, and gave them five minutes to get out.
They then went out in the hall, and he drove them
off with a billiard cue. At half-past one Kane came
again to his place, and said a policeman had broken
his arm; he had been doing nothing. Smith told
him that was not so; he was with a bad woman on
the sidewalk.
“Well,” said Kane, “I’ll send the officer up the
river.”
He told Kane if he went for the policeman he
would testify that he brought a bad woman in his
place.
Frank Brady, a car-driver, said : Twenty minutes
after one he saw a crowd while standing at the depot,
and ran over. Kane had the officer by the throat.
The officer cried, “Let go—let go,” and the officer
hit the man with his club. They clenched, both
fell, and there was such a crowd that Kane got
away. He thought it was the dirtiest turn-up ever
a “cop” got.
“ What is a 'cop ?’ ” asked Captain Killilea.
“An officer.”
“ Why don’t you say so.”
“I did not see that man at all,” said Ran*- “he
has not spoken a word of truth. As for that wound
•n his neck, he has blistered that red himself.”
Officer Lamb said he saw the mark on the officer’s
throat that night.
Sergeant Stevenson said the officer had no mark
•n his throat that night. All that was disorderly to
cause arrest was standing talking ts the woman.
Next day Captain Killilea saw a red spot on the
officer's neck.
John Lyon, a private watchman in Fifty-third
street, said that he saw Kane with this woman, who
was apparently drunk. He-saw them come out of

the liquor store. She usad most foul language. Af
ter that, about two o'clock, she camo back on his
post with two fellows, and he ordered her out of the
street.
WAB NOT SURPRISED AT A ROBBERY.
McCusker and Gallagher, of the Twelfth Pre
cinct, failed to discover a burglary on Third ave
nue. within half a block of the station-house. The
thieves broke the glass on the side of the window of
Mr. Whitehouse’s store, and cleared the window of
all the shoes that a long wire could reach. One of
the officers was on post from six to twelve, the oth
er from six to eight, and neither saw the broken
glass.
At half-past five the clerk of Mr. Wilder went for
a loaf of bread to the grocery, and passing the store
says he saw the side pane of glass brosen. He went
to the grocery, returned home, took his breakfast,
and never notified the police, half a block off, of
what he saw, nor his employer. He could give no
reason for being so negligent.
A SICK WIFE.
Mcßride, of the Thirtieth Precinct, absent with
out leave, said when he went home he found his
wife chokSng, almost dying. He went out for a
doctor, who was not in a hurry coming, and he
stopped and did the best he could for his wito. The
trouble was bronchitis.
He produced a letter from the doctor.
ONE MILK, THE OTHER COFFEE.
Hunter, of the Nineteenth Precinct, went in an
egg store and got a drink of milk.
O’Neil, of the First Precinct, went in a coffee
saloon ou a cold morning and got a cup of coffee.
SNOW AND ICE.
Heusler, Kenny, Murphy, Hummell, Gorman,
Dresher, Cagney and Powers, failed to report snow
and ice on the sidewalk.
, SITTING ON A WET STOOP.
Flaherty sat on the top step of a piano factory.
“ Why sitting there ?” asked the Commissioner.
“ It was a wet morning, I had new rubbers and a
sore leg, and I pulled the boot off to let some air
in.”
“ He told me his leg was tired,” said Roundsman
Green, “ he had new rubbers and he sat lor two
minutes on the step. He did not see me. The
watchman did and nudged him.”
A GRUMBLING OFFICER.
Wespell, of the Ninth Precinct couldn’t be found
by Roundsman Stroupe. The roundsman went
over the post, then began to time him. He went
five times over it, fifty-two minutes, before the
officer turned up.
The officer said he was on post.
“ There have been a good many complaints
against you ?” said the Commissioner.
“ And there will be by the same roundsman.”
“Other roundsmen have made them,” said
Stroupe.
“What reason have you to complain?” asked the
Commissioner,
“I tell the truth before the Commissioners.”
“ Do you mean to say they won’t believe you ?”
“He is the man to make complaint; we have to
take them.”
“I think you are all wrong to make such a charge
against him,” remarked the Commissioner.”
“I could make other complaints against him,"
said the roundsman, “ but he cries out‘persecu
tion.’ I don't want to make complaints all the
time.”
Wespell, retiring, said:
“This isn’t right. Kill me, if you can.”
HAD CONSIDERATION FOR HIS HORSE.
Pepper, of the Thirty-fifth Precinct, stabled his
horse, and footed it on patrol through Jerome Park.
He said this was a dark, snewy night. They were
fixing up the park, and it was nil full of holes, and
to take a horse through it would be dangerous to
horse and rider.
A YOUNG CASHIER.
Terence Cavanagh keeps an all-night coffee and
cake saloon in Harlem. About twelve, midnight,
two men, father and son, went in to get some coffee
and cakes. The old man, he said, was under the
influence of liquor, and his cook bounced them out.
They stood in iront of his saloon and he ordered
them not to come back. The old man wanted to
fight. Officer Girow came over and called him out
of his name, and said be should be in “Jim Fisks ”
place down town; he was a Turk to keep such a
place in Harlem. The officer then took him by the
collar and pushed him Inside his own place.
The officer and his witness said they saw Terence
hit the old man outside, but the old man would not
make a complaint, and when a crowd gathered tne
officer dispersed it, and ordered Terence Inside his
place.
A little girl, fourteen years of age, was cashier for
this all-night house. This seems to be a case for
Mr. Jenkins* society to look after.
BROOKLYN POLICE MATTERS
JUDGMENTS—TRIALS —COMMENTS —NEWS IN
GENERAL.
A JUST DECISION.
It has been customary in this department to de
duct a certain stated amount from the salary of
absent members who reported as sick. This action
has been always regarded as unjust, more particu
larly in cases where the sickness was contracted in
the performance of duty, and through no fault of
the afflicted officer.
Quite a number of policemen began suits recently
in the Citv Court to compel the city to refund the
amount thus deducted from their salary while un
der a doctor’s care. On Wednesday last judgments
were rendered in favor of thirteen officers in sums
varying from $5 to S9O; the total amount thus re
covered being $649.13.
A GOOD IDEA.
The renting of station houses has demanded the
attention of the Police Commissioner, and it is
hoped that the latter will at once take the required
steps to have suitable buildings erected where
needed for the accommodation of police and pris
oners. It would certainly prove to be a saving to
the city and Col. Carroll will, doubtless, take the
latter view of the matter.
TENDERED HIS RESIGNATION.
Officer Morrow, of the Central Squad, who has
been performing duty as clerk and interpreter in
the Excise Department, was transferred to duty m
the Eighth Precinct on Monday last. He tendered
his resignation from the force, which was promptly
accepted by Commissioner Carroll.
KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.
The warning afforded in the prompt dismissal
from the force for intoxication while on duty of
McMahon, of the First Precinct, which occurred
last week, would appear to have been utterly disre
garded by quite a number of officers. That Com
missioner Carroll is determined to make his author
ity felt by offending officers may be partially judged
from the following list of offenses and punish
ments :
Tracy, of the Twelfth Precinct, was absent with
out leave for more than two hours on the evening
of the Ist inst., and was accordingly reported by
Sergeant Velser. Patrick fought hard to establish
his innocence, and escaped with the loss of one
day’s pay.
Connor, of the same precinct, failed to be at Pub
lic School No. 41, at three P. M., on the 3d inst.
Connor made a very fair defense, and was merely
reprimanded.
Sergeant Gans, of the Twelfth Precinct, while ru
minating upon the degeneracy of mankind, forgot
the dignity to be observed by one occupying hie
position in life. The worthy sergeant, it is alleged
by Inspector MacKellar, was found sitting in a
chair in the public office of the station-house, and
soundly sleeping, at 1:15 A. M. on the 29th ult.
Gans was, no doubt, mortified at the position in
which he found himself placed. At his trial be
succeeded in convincing the Commissioner that he
was merely dozing on the occasion alluded to, and
was, thereupon, cautioned.
Murtha, of the Eleventh Precinct, was met by
Sergeant Gill while in the act of emerging from the
hallway of a liqtior saloon just before the break o’
day on the 2d inst. John pleaded guilty and was
sentended to a loss of three days pay.
Kennedy, of the same Precinct, is said to be one
of the most efficient officers serving on the present
force. Nevertheless, Jimmie will persist in toying
with Old John Barleycorn. Roundsman McMahon
charged Kennedy with being found sitting down in
the back room of a liquor saloon on the evening of
the Ist inst., during his tour of patroL The evid
ence was overwhelming, and although the charge
was a breaking one, the Commissioner mercifully
ordered a loss of ten days pay only.
McDonald, of the Eighth Precinct, is still another
favorite officer, and also an intimate acquaintance
of Mr. Barleycorn. Poor Mac while performing
duty at a fire on the 4th inst., attempted to outdo
the firemen in sparring for free drinks. In this he
succeeded, it appeared, to his grief, as he ascer
tained later on. Captain Murphy noticing the
condition of McDonald, ordered the latter to be
taken to the Station, where he remained suspended
from duty until sober. The day was an extremely
cold one and may have afforded some excuse for
the offending officers endeavoring to keep warm by
the use of stimulants. He was sentenced to a loss
of ten days pay.
The resounding echo produced by the frequent
rapping of Sergeant Graham while searching for
McGinnis, of the Eighth Precinct, might have been
heard for two hours on the morning of the 4th inst.
Mac was not at his proper relieving point, and when
eventually discovered, smiled a la Ah Sin as he in
nocently claimed to having been diligently patrol
ling his post. Pat’s blarney failed, however, to af
fect Commissioner Carroll, who ordered a fine of
three days pay.
Sinnott, of the Eighth Precinct, sat comfortably
ensconced in the reading-room of a liquor saloon
while on duty, on the evening of the 3d inst., where
he was found by Sergeant DriscolL Sinnott was
further charged with being met while emerging
from the rear entrance to a liquor saloon on the Ist
inst. Jim was so taken aback at the prospect of be
ing bounced from his position that he was unable
to make any defense whatever at his trial. Being
adjudged guilty of the offenses as alleged, he was
sentenced to a loss of five days pay in each case.
Sprague, of the Sixth Sub-Precinct, could not be
found at his relieving-point on the evening of the
Ist inst. When finally discovered, he was in the
interior of a liquor saloon and as happy as a lord.
Charlie reported to the station twenty-five minutes
late at return roll call, and was ordered to bed by
Sergeant Hamilton. Sprague’s record having been
an exceptionally clear one resulted in his being
fined a loss of two days pay.
Stevens, of the Fourth Precinct, desiring to pos
sess himself of a modicum of chicken feed, saun
tered into a restaurant for that purpose on the eve
ning of the 4th inst. Roundsman Raynor happened
along in time to detect the absence from post of the
lover of “monavolins.” He will suffer a loss of two
days pay,
Cleary, of the same precinct, disappeared from
view on the morning of the 6th inst., and was in
visible to Roundsman Raynor for two hours. Cleary
has been before the mill on two previous occasions
and this fact doubtless prompted the commissioner
to inflict a fine of three days pay in this instance.
NEW YORK DISPATCH. FEBRUARY 14, 1886.
Sheedy, of the Third Precinct, while in the act of
gliding through the side door of a bakery on the
morning of the 3d inst., was detected by Rounds
man Murphy. Ned had merely entered to obtain
his customary hot roll, which action will now cost
him a loss of one days pay.
Maxwell, of the Third Precinct, ignored the fact
that he was a police officer, aud leaving his post re
mained absent for a period of one hour and twenty
five minut son the 3d inst. Roundsman Murphy
explained his case so well as to result in Maxwell’s
being found guilty and being sentenced to a forfeit
ure of three days pay.
SEVERE SENTENCES.
The severity of the sentences thus far imposed by
the new Commissioner, has struck terror into the
heart of the average patrolman. It is evident that
Col. Carroll intends to rid the force of men who
cannot take a drink and know when they have a
genteel sufficiency. The reporter has been fre
quently assured by members that the leniency dis
played by Commissioner Partridge tended to cause
patroman to take warning when they at times inad
vertently fell from grace. Then, too, the sergeants
and roundsmen made no such display of vigilance
in the performance of their duty while dogging the
footsteps of some unsuspecting officer. After all, it
is claimed that the old Commissioner’s method,
while it did not decrease the efficiency of the force,
prevented the petty officers in the department from
exercising too much authority over privates.
ITEMS OF NEWS.
It is rumored that a new uniform will be ordered
for use in the department during the Spring and
Summer months. Plates of the different garments
are being prepared, and win be soon on exhibition.
Chichester, of the First Precinct, has been matched
to run a race three times around the City Hall, for
a purse of fifty dollars. His opponent will bo Mac
namara, of Truck No. 3, who has a splendid record
as a sprint runner. Charley Ruddy will act as ref
eree and stakeholder.
Superintendent Campbell declares that he has not
blundered in his recent action in regard to the en
forcement of the Sunday law.
On Thursday last Patrolman Hayden, of the
Eighth Precinct, was granted a hearing before Com
missioner Carroll. Hayden was charged first, with
being found (in a liquor saloon while intoxicated,
and with creating a disturbance. Secondly, with
failing to report at the station-house at the proper
time, and when making his appearance was notice
ably drunk. Thirdly, with being off post in a car
stable, and fourthly, with failing to be in court as a
witness against a prisoner. Hayden pleaded guilty
to the last two charges, and asked for an adjourn
ment on the first two, which was granted, sentence
being suspended.
The case of Officer Hayes, charged with commit
ting an assault upon a well-known citizen, was
likewise adjourned until the latter was sufficiently
recovered to appear against his assailant.
Detective Stollsworthy is again booming arrests.
The case of Officer Downey, of the Thirteenth Pre
cinct, together with that of Roundsman Codding
ton and Patrolman Zemme, of the Second Precinct,
will be definitely settled during the coming week.
Captain Davis, of the Prospect Park police, is se
riously ill, and but little hope is entertained of his
recovery.
Captain Kellet, of the police launch, “Judge
Moore, ” was presented on Wednesday last with a
blue satin banner heavily fringed, with gold tassels,
and suspended from a neat brass bar. The inscrip
tion, in gold letters, ran as follows. “ Brooklyn Po
lice Launch, Judge Moore. Captain Henry Kellet,
Fifteenth Precinct Commanding, Feb. h lO, 1886.”
The presentation speech was made by Mr. John 8.
McElwey, and was gracefully responded to by the
genial captain, after which water melons were cut,
peaches passed, and the band played.

NO MEDICINE that ever has l>een, or is now, sold lot'
the CURE OF CATARRH can. or ever has, equaled th#
POSITIVE CATARRH CURE. IT INSTANTLY RE
LIEVES, and POSITIVELY will CURE CATARRH in all
Its forms. All we ask is for you fo try ONLY one bottle
as a sample, and we will GUARANI’EE you will continue
using it until cured, and thereby convince yourself that
it takes the lead over all other remedies you have ever
tried. The POSITIVE CATARRH CURE has been used
in practice TWENTY YEARS with tlie best of success, and
THOUSA.x'LS of bottles are monthly sold by our agents;
through the EASTERN and WESTERN States. We pub
lish no FALSE NAMES of remarkable cures occurring in
some small town or village where no one can go to see
them, but we let every one who has tried the POSITIVE.
CATARRH CURE recommend it to their own friends. It
speaks for itself; no newspaper puffing necessary Ask
your druggist for the POSITIVE CATARRH CURE, price
$1 per bottle. If your druggist should not have it, let him
get It for you without fail. McKesson & Robbins, C. N.
