BEFORE COMMISSIONER FRENCH. THAT GIASS~O1? SCHNAPPS. Meyer was off post in the lager fcoer saloon, No. 49 Pitt street. Roundsman Schroth said he saw the OHicer come along and some gentleman spoke to him, and the two went in the saloon. He went over to the door and found it locked, when a woman called out to the bartender. “ Who’s trying to get In V* and he asked who was there. The roundsman told him to tell the officer to come out. The door was spe!J«d and the officer had a glass of brandy be fore him at the baft ■ L ••. Meyer said he went On duty at twelve o’clock. At ten minuteß past twelve he tried the door and found it*ecure. Half an hour later became bank and found the place lit up. He looked in and saw two men in the place, and thought he had a right to go m and see if they belonged there, As soon as he found all was right he stepped out. "What were you doing with the glass in yoiH. hand?’’ asked the Commissioner. "I did not have it,” replied the officer. »‘I saw the officer at Rivington ated Titt Streets at fifteen minutes past twelve,’’ Said the roundsman. ** I passed the place five minutes be fore that. When the officer went ift he stood talk ing at the bar, and the woman M,ys, ’The officer wants a glass of schnapps, ’ and j»<er husband poured it out. When I tried the dod* I said, -You better come out.’ He said, ‘Yes, I’did not drink anything; it is there.’ I don’t thih'k the door was locked. I did not ask for anything?’ •• He does not say that, but the woman did.” “I did not hear hot.” ••It is curious; were inside. There was a glass of liquor before you.” "If so. it wasn’t mine. The roundsman was out side; I was in. I went in to see what this party was doing in there. The woman I did not see.” "I followed him right down,” said the rounds man. "He has a habit of going into the saloons after seeing the roundsman. He was in there property.” "Thel’s was no conversation about property.” •‘I could hear every word that was spoken,’* said the roundsman. "When she said, ’Give him a glass of schnapps,’ I thought I would wbt give him a chance to drink it.” Omrad Ri-ger, the proprietor, said he always Joc&d the door before twelve o’clock. That night ho *7aa late coming home. There was a friend with him, and he lit up the gas, to take and give him a eeor. His wife went in the back room, and did tell him to give the officer schnapps. He offered him a glass oi beer, but he wouldn't'take it. "And that was the reason why your wife asked you to give him a glass of Tjbhnapps ?” •' There was a glass of beOr and a glass of schnapps 00 the bar, but I took nothing,” said the officer. A GASE OF PERJURY. The charge preferred against Skilling, of the Twentieth Precinct, was trivial, but the result may be serious. Skilling charged Lynch, the rounds man, with committing perjury. The'Chances are that Skilling will leave the force, if he does not main tain bis accusation. The officer failed to properly patrol from lOsOO-to 11:40. When tho roundsman asked him where he bad been he made no explana tion, and was wtty sarcastic toward him, and was surprised that he he should find cause for com plaint •• The statement is all wrong; there is not a word ©f truth in it, "said Skilling. "When the rounds man asked where I was, I had just chased the boys off the atreAt into * big tenementhouse. They got ©ver tbe'fence into another yard.” •' WhatV*®ie was that?” •• Quarter to eleven. If ha had rapped at either end of my post, or in the middle, I would have heard him.” " Everything in that statement of the roundsman, as be told it, is absolutely untrue ?” ••Yes, eir.” he any motive to do it ?” "No; but he is wilfully doing what is wrong. If be •bad rapped I wouid have heard him,” "There are too many men that you can catch without having occasion to swear falsely to a com plete t,” said the roundsman. " This is a fearful accusation yon have made •gainst the roundsman,” said the Commissioner. ■’♦Unless you can show some motive for making •ueh a charge—that there is no truth in it—l will eonaider that perjury has been committed. What adds to it; you say it is absolutely a falsehood from beginning to end. Here is a statement made with out foundation. There is no middle course in this case. I can’t judge that a man with that face [the roundsman’s] is capable of committing such an outrage.” ♦•ln a case that Roundsman Murphy had against him eight months ago, he brought four witnesses ♦hat were not present on the occasion. This man thought I had no right to make a complaint against him. He said he would get me transferred if I made a complaint.” "I shall send this complaint to the Board; I can’t take the responsibility of deciding it. If you have done this officer this wrong, you are unfit to remain on the force; if he [the officer] has taken a false oath, be is not fit to be on the force.” "I can bring another officer that saw me on the post looking for him.” < ••I don't suppose they will fight him,*’said his officer. "The officer that I timed was mashing a young Eirl, when I found that was the case I was sorry I roke it up,” The case was adjourned one week. If the rounds men strengthens his case, and the officer doesn’t, ♦hen he may expect eventually to get his discharge papers, A GAME OF RUBBER AND A RUBBER OOAT. Donohue was charged with being in the lager beer •aloon in Seventy-ninth street. Roundsman Bach said passing the place he found the officer stand ing by the table looking at a party playing cards. When asked what he was doing, he said he went in for his rubber coat. But it was lying on the chair, said the rounds man. He picked it up and came out. The officer said it was a foggy night but didn’t rain. He left the coat there at 8 o’clock, and called there at half past 11 for it, before closing up. He Just stepped in and asked the bar-tender for it. The bartender handed it to a young man who banded it to him. MR. DALLY'S NARROW ESCAPE. The complaint against Hubbard of the thirty second precinct was failing to discover a burglary committed at the house of ;Johu Dally, 158th street and Eleventh avenue. Mr. Dally said on the 25th of February, he dis covered a burglar in the sitting-room. His wife discovered him first and gave the alarm, and he made a start for him. The thief went downstairs, he went after him, but the burglar turned and fired at him on the stairs from the hall. That stopped the pursuit, but he went to the front window on ♦be Boulevard, and used the utmost power of his lungs, with his wife, to make themselves heard by neighbors and police. No response came from the police and the man escaped. With his son he kept watch for the police all the morning, and they never put in an appearance, from half-past two till a quarter to six in the morning. His halloing he thought should have been heard three or four blocks. The officer couldn’t have gone by his house Without seeing him. Hubbard said he patrolled the post faithfully from twelve to six o’clock. He passed Mr. Daily’s house at two o'clock and tried the doors, and they were then all right. The next time he came around was a quarter past three. The house was all lighted op so that he could see the people moving about Be thought there was sickness in the house. Mr. Dally said when he charged the officer with failing to pass the house in that time, he did not (dispute him. * The officer said the gentleman appeared to be Angry. The Commissioner said it was no wonder. To be fired at. scream himself hoarse, and sit up till day-light, It was just such a case as to make a man angry. MISS RANDOLPH ADVISED TO SEEK "PAS TURES NEW.” The charge again st Dooley, of the Twenty-second Precinct,, was, that at 1:30 A. M., February 24tb, he assaulted Jane Randolph, caused her to lose a dia mond earring, and did not arrest her. Janey looks like a pleasing girl of about seventeen years, and her.sister perhaps a year older. The sisters live at No. 578. West Thirty-eighth street. "Ara you married ?” asked the Commissioner. •• I have been married—not now. I was at this ball >n West Forty-fourth street, Wendell's Assem bly Rooms, me and my husband. When we came in the man wanted him to pay again. We had been out to get supper. My husband wouldn't pay. He (the officer)>pushed me inside and my husband out side and ; my sister. He took bis club to hit my husband and came and struck mein the face and knocked my sirring out. He struck me two or three times in the face, and I fell in the arms of my Bister. There were gentlemen around who didn’t Interfere.” It appears that Janey's husband is now in the Tombs under an indictment for burglary, and ex pecting him to be convicted, she considers that she has no hueband, and for that reason testified she bad "been marr ed.” The officer said he had plenty of witnesses to prove her character. The Commissioner said that was no defense to itriking a woman. Ida Mitchell, the sister of Janey, said she lived at 878 West Thirty-eighth street. She was with her Bister Feb. 24. The tickets were 75 cents for a gent and ladies. They Left the ball and went to nipper, and, returning, the officer would not let them in. They wanted to get in because their wraps were there. It was a masquerade ball. The dcorman wanted pay again, and the officer wanted to strike her sister’s husband, and her sister took the club, and the officer knocked her down in the hall between the two doors. When she got up he hit her again and she fell in her arms. David Hammer, the special officer at Wendeli’s rooms, said the ladles went out, and came back after supper, apparently under the influence of J quor, and wanted to bring in a man. This was ■ail invitation ball; the door was locked. The man Wuth them was xw>t fit to go in a ball-room. He bad not been in the ball-room. The orders of the committee was not td lei Any in unless they had in vitations. They came wiflQ this man and persisted that they should get it. TiJe man made a grab for him by the neck, the ladies f’eratched his hand, and he drew his stick to defend h.\»®elf. The lady got hold of it the other by his arm, «Aod he had to call the officer to assist him. He gave them their wraps. The officer said if they didn’t go away he wouid arrest them. They were intoxicated. "You say your husband was with the Commissioner. " Yes, sir ; he is my husband by righ.V and law,” Baid Janey. •• What do you mean by that ?” "I was living with him.” " When did you pick him up ?” " He bad been in the ball room.” " He wasn’t,” said the special deputy. Aiderman Wendell said: "These ladies were pie of street-walkers. The lady got hold of his (the ieputy’s) collar and tried to kill him.” "If they are thieves or prostitutes they have no right to be knocked around by an officer,” remark ed the Commissioner. Mr. Weeks, a colored gentleman, the Alderman’s private barber, said he saw the rumpus, tying to get away the officer’s club. "Where is your husband, Janey?” asked the Commissioner. 0 bad a quarrel and he went home.” Qfficer Reilly, of the Twenty-second Precisci, said the man she claimed as her husband was a thief, was now in the Tombs awaiting trial. One of the girls, the wife, got six months and the other ten days. •'He arrested; me one night,” said Janey, "for nothing.” " Another officer had them up on the charge of street-walking,” said Reilly. " He took me out of a store and made a charge of disO>J erI y conduct," said Janey. "Seek pastures new,” said the Commissioner with a srd'.^ e - ” 1 think you have about exhausted this towfi. THE LECTOR SAVED HIM. Buckhorn came down answer roll-call half uni formed. He said somebody h .ad tampered with the lock of his closet and he couldn into it. The Commissioner said that W«is a serious com plaint, and should be investigated. . . . Sergeant Sullivan, of the Twenty-ninty precinct, said when the officer came down he asked bin) Wftat the matter was. He replied in ft ” That is a nice }°b.” "I saw he had been drinking,” said the sergeant, n and J sent for Dr. Stoiuhardt. The officer stag gered. I called him in the room, and smelled liquor, and saw he wm not in a fit condition to go out. The doctor examined him and said ho couldn’t smell liquor on his breath, tasked the doctor if he was in a fit condition to go out, and he said, •yes. sir? and I ordered him out.” " You are not charged with being under the influ. ence of liquor, but this puts a different phase on the complaint with which yoq are. charged. If there was a .iob pjjL up qq you could not change your clothes, it would be ex cusable, but if on account of your own ” "That's the truth, sir.” "Be very careful. You know how the Commis sioners feel toward a man who drink?/’ IN TO GET Tf’i; SQUEEZE OF A LEMON. Sdy&dU?, found in the liquor store. No. 61 South Street, said the charge was true. He went in to get a lemon, after taking cod liver oil. He was Bick at his stomach after taking the medicine, "How did you discover him ?” ••He was in the private office,” said Roundsman Halpin. " I could see the officer’s im&pe through the stained glass. When I opened the door he was standing. He said he was after taking cod liver oil by the doctor’s direction.” "I am ordered to take anything I like after the oil,” said the officer. " But you have no right to be in a liquor store/' SMITH’S P’S AND Q’S. When Smith, of the Eighth Precinct, was charged with being off his relieving post, he said: " I admit coming into the station-house too soon. There is no use fighting it; I admit it/’ " Where were you born ?” " Finland.'* "What year were you born?” "1800-18, I think, 54.” ” What year did you come to this country ?” •• ’7l/’ " How old were yon when you came here ?” "Under eighteen.” "When were you naturalised?” "’72. I can’t remember. I took out my full pa pers. I don’t recollect the date of the papers now/’ SLEPT OUT HIS 10UR. Bolster belongs to the mounted police in the Thirty-fourth Precinct His next door neighbors are Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, with whom he has had some little unpleasantness of late. Not until after their quarrel did they think of making a charge against Bolster of leaving his post. Attached to Bolster’s house there is a barn, and the Morgans and another neighbor said it was the custom of the officer to ride homo and stable his horse in the barn and go to bed. They specified four occasions in particular—June 21, 'B6; 23, 'B6; July 12. ’B6; January 25, 'B7. On these Higbts Cap tain Robbins proved by the blotter that Bolster should have been on patrol. His house was about a mile from his post. It is likely that Bolster will be unhorsed. Gr. A.

Alonz« Wruesdell died in Harlem at seven P. M., March 14, Mr. Truesdell was familiarly known to his friends as "Brickey.” This name was given him in consequence of a beautiful red beard which be wore from the time he was a young man. Alonzo Trueedell was a school officer for many years, and all his efforts were to improve the schools in which our children fit themsolbes for the battle of life. As far as he could go in this direction he was a noble success. Out of the world goes a most worthy man, who has honestly and energetically worked f»r the advancement of bis fellows, and yet how little the world knows of its real benefactors. One of these men was Alonzo Truesdell. He was unselfish, hon est, genial and kindly. He became at once the friend of all with whom became into contact who were like himself, simply and straightforwardly honest. He had not entered into the fullness of years, but he had accomplished much good in his nearly sixty years of life. And when the fell destroyer struck him down in the very zenith of his manhood’s ca pability and his intellectual competency, he left be hind no honest man who did not regret his death, nor any in all the world who could say that Alonzo Truesdell had ever wronged him. When ho entered into that rest, which muat come t© us all some day, he left no enemy to rejoice over his death, but many admirers, companions and friends to regret that so good a man should have made an eternal parting from those who knew him well and loved him well. Up on Ills Ear. MAYOR HEWITT MAKING TROUBLE. Some days ago Mayor Hewitt received a report from Superintendent Murray containing a list of dance and music halls. On examining the report the Mayor discovered that a large number of bad resorts were not mentioned in the report. The Mayor immediately set to work to procure s complete list of the places, and has forwarded to Superintendent Murray the name and street num bers of dance-halls, dives, thieves' resorts, gambling houses and places where sawdust swindlers make their headquarters, and asks that these be closed immediately. Mayor Hewitt said yesterday that Superintendent Murray was taking active steps to close all the places of evil resort. The reports furnished to him by the Snperintendent came from the police cap tains of the different precincts and were not com. plete. An explanation has been asked for, which will be furnished in a few days. In the reports no mention was made of the dives on Park Row, the Bowery, the gambling houses on Ann street and Sixth avenue, near Thirtieth street. It is the Mayor’s intention to have all of these places closed and the proprietors punished. Not this Court, Another.—Henry Cushman, a young lad, pleaded guilty to stealing a bag of flear. He denied ever being arrested before. The officer said the boy told him he had just come down, after serving six months. "What were you here for?” again] asked the Court. "Not in this court.” •• Where, then ? ’ "In the General Sessions. I waited three months in prison to get tried, and was discharged.” " Six months/' said the Court. K’.fMTiXTI'.WW M.
