Masterson Frightens a Merchant-Why Is the Merchan : Afraid to Appear to Prove His Charge ?- Out-of-the-way Pests Want Coed Patrolling—The Killing of the Y-ung Italian by Adams—No Indictment Found— Leaving His Post Without Cause-No More Police Excursions—A Station-Hcuse Lawyer. BEFORE COMMISSIONER FRENCH. A SERIOUS CHARGE, AND THE ACCUSER DOES NOT APPEAR. It would seem almost proper to compel citizens to give some sort of bond to prosecute after they have made complaint against a policeman. Some >iake complaint on the spur of the moment, when the blood is hot. When they cool down they say the lellow isn’t worth the powder, and there they irop it. Others think that it is a satisfaction to have had a complaint recorded, and there stop. While there are others who say that their time is too im portant to follow it up. If a man can find tne time to enter a complaint, he can certainly appear to prosecute. He loses a great deal of time before the complaint can be en tertained; at the most, to follow it to an ending, the trial, it is seldom over an hour or two. Then there are cases like the charge against Mas terson, of the Eleventh Precinct, that seem strange that when made, should not be prosecuted. The complainant. Moses Ira Mendel, is in business at No. 242 Grand street. Over his store there is a club room. At 1:30 P. M.. May 21st. bo says Masterson sat in a chair in the club room, intoxicated, and used vile and indecent language. Mr. Mendel says in his complaint that he was in the habit of going up to tbe club room to wash hie hands and face. On this occasion he expressed sur prise at seeing the officer glued to tbe chair. Tbe officer’s rejoinder was in “peeler English: “You G— d— cur, what right have you here, you son of a , ?•’ Mr. Mendel stood a few minutes dumb- founded, when Masterson got up from his seat and said, '■ I’ve a good mind to throw you down stairs.” He thereupon made up his mind to get away from the officer; his conduct was so outrageous that at the time he made the complaint, and for several dayp alter, he had not recovered from the shock. Now, here is an officer off post, sitting taking it cooly in the upper floor of a club room, for aught known to the contrary, getting his whisky and eigars iree, sitting there enjoying them when he should be out on post, and a citizen that claims the right to enter theolub, and leases tbe rooms, enters, and the officer threatens to throw him down his own stairs. After he makes this complaint Mr. llendel does not appear to prosecute and gives no reason why he is not present. They waited half an hour for Mr. Mendel to put in an appearance, and Mr. French ordered the clerk to call tbe case. It was called and Masterson was arraigned. ’• Win n did you last see this complainant, Mas terson ?” asked Com. French. “ I see him every day, yeur honor,” replied the officer. “ Did you have any conversation with him ?” “No.” “Do you know of any reason why he is not here?” “No.” •’ You haven’t spoken to him to-day ?’* •’ 1 have not spoken to him before or since.” “ What were you doing absent from post ?” “ In the water closet.” The complainant said this occurred while Master son was sitting in a chair. The Commissioner ordered the clerk to make a memorandum of the absence of Mr. Mendel, send the same to Capt. Allaire, and ascertain from him Why complainant did not sppear ? .Meanwhile, the ease ifas indefinitely postponed? Responsible fcosis neglected. When an officer gets au obscure corner post he is apt to neglect it. Nothing he thinks can happen there and ho lays off in a lager Veer saloon and lets 3he posl run Ks«V. v Wdfield, Ninth Precinct, had just such a post that needed watchful guarding, it is one where a thief can lure a drunken man down on his arm and rob, aye, even murder, if the officer lays off. And it is just such posts of danger to citizens that some captains seem to put blocks of wood to guard. The post that Westfield had was Thirteenth ave. nue from Eleventh to Fourteenth street. Bounds man Orr struck tbe post at Thirteenth avdhue ahd Eleventh stmt find wept to Fifteenth street. The officer had only thd east side of the street, so that he could not be missed. Tbe roundsman went back to Horatio street, and failing to tiud hiip, four o’clock comm need to patrol the post, and search lor him and tithe him. At 4:55 he found the officer coming up after him at Fourteenth street. He said to the roundsman he was “ raising” a drunken man that he found behind a shanty, “ Raising,” said the Commissioner to himself—“a queer place to raise a man.” Tbe officer said at four o’clock he started from Bloomfield street; there he met an iceman and talked a lew minutes with him, and the iceman told him there was a man in the lot kissing the sod. He went in and turned him over, and found dried blood on his face. He got him on his feet, and let him go home. He looked worse than he real!* was. The man said he lived in East Twenty eighth (street, and he started him for the other ■ide of the city by telling him to follow his nose till he got to the East river. He was then by the Hud won river. The Commissioner said that might take fifteen minutes; where was be the other forty minutes? The officer thought following the roundsman. “How long would it take you to go over your post?” asked the Commissioner. “I never timed myself.” The roundsman said he could go over it in fifteen minutes. He passed that lot spoken of, and if there had been anybody in it he would have seen him. He went four times over the post. THE GRAND JURY FAILS TO INDICT. The Grand Jury failed to Indict Officer Adams for manslaughter, shooting and killing Panine Canala, while standing at his uncle’s drug store, in Centre Street. The circumstances of the case are these: Adams arrested a man for burglary, and shortly after another for petty larceny. He took both pris oners to the Tombs, and arraigned them before Justice Duffy, who committed them to answer. While conveying his prisoners down the winding stairs of the Tombs, he allowed tbe burglar, Mur ray, to precede him. The Tombs gate was open, and tbe burglar fled through it on the street. He was more fleet of foot than the officer, and outran him. This was at eleven o’clock, when the throng was not so great as at an hour later. The burglar ran from Franklin to Leonard, in the middle of Centre street, and tbe officer fired one shot at him. Passing Leopard street, tbe thief took to the pave ment, where all sorts of pedestrians are on the move. The officer fired, and the shot intended for the burglar killed the young man standing by the drug store. The escaped thief has gone to sea. The Commissioner said it was pretty rough for a citizen to be shot down at bis own door. Captain McCullough said the officer was sorry for it. The officer said in the chase he saw nobody but the man he was following. The Comm ssioner said it was hardly necessary for him to admonish him. He apprehended that the officer himself must feel keenly at taking an in nocent life. But it was hard that a man should be Shot down under auch circumstances. A SMALL HOLE. There was a piece of broken pavement at Broad way and Forty-second street, that Stevenson didn’t think it worth while to report. That will cost him $2. FORGOT. Greer lit his cigar up stairs after his tour of duty. He came down with the cigar between his fingers. On the stoop of the station bouse he took a puff. He would have escaped Roundsman Conway’s no tice but for Officer McGinley, be said. How that was did not appear. McGinley ought to pay that half day s fine. A DOUBTFUL CALL. Mahoney was absent from a special post corner of Ninth street and Sixth avenue. What swindle was going on there that required the constant attention Of an officer was not stated. It is close by Jefferson Market, and of course had reference to something criminal. He said he was called off this stationary post to arrest a disorderly woman in Clinton place. '■ Who called you?” asked the Commissioner. “A woman—l don’t know.” “What did she say ? ’ •' She said a woman was raising a disturbance.” “ What time was this ?” “ I did not take the time. It might have been two o’clock. I got there, and she had quieted down, And the woman did not want to be arrested.” "What was she doing ?” “Sitting on the stoop.” “Where did the live ?” "Next door.” “ How long were you there ?” “Captain Brogan says half an hour.” “How far off?” “ Two blocks.” Captain Brogan said the same statement was made to him, but he wouldn’t accept such an ex cuse. SALUTING THE DESK. Fenkin, of the Fifth Precinct, when be entered the station-house, said he saluted the desk. Next time he will salute the officer in command sitting at it, HIS AUNTY. Maloy, of the Twentieth Precinct, was late at the eight T. M. roll call. He said there was sickness iu the house, and he overslept himself. “Are you a married man ?” “No.” “Who was sick iu tbe house ?” “My aunty.” "Your aunty I That’s hardly excuse enough.” THE LAST OF POLICE EXCURSIONS. McFarland was late at the seven P. M. roll call. “1 was at the police excursion and the boat drift ed,” said the officer. “ I think you officers have had your last excur sion. More trouble have grown out of them ” The Commissioner didn’t finish. A STATION-HOUSE LAWYER. McPhail should have been a Tombs lawyer, or a police justice. He made a mistake becoming a po liceman. He can talk even Commissioner French out of his boots. That is saying a good deal. There is nothing bashful about French, but it would be tale to bet that if McPhail wanted a favor of the President be could go in his room and talk it out of him. McPhail was ordered to go to the Polo Grounds, at 110th street, at 3:30 P. M. There was a sort of emuete there. The gamins wanted to see a baseball game without paying an entrance fee. They broke down part ot the fence, and tho police were not in sufficient numbers to roll the mob back. Rein forcemeats were sent for. McPhail was found at Riverside lark at 3:30 and was one of several or dered to the Polo Grounds to report there for duty. He was not seen till near five o’clock by roundsmen Thompson and Sweeny, who saw him then for the first time. He tried hard toprove he was on the ground before five o'clock, but he didn’t. It was his duty when he got to tbe Polo ground to report to his superior and put himself under his orders. Ac cording to his own story, if to be believed, and the Commissioner said he didn’t, he acted as a skirm isher on the grounds till seen by accident by his superiors. Millie entered a drug store to hunt up a builder’s pame in the directory. He had violated the law. Burns, of the Thirty-second Precinct, anxious to see the news, bought a paper and looked at the head lines before he folded it. Curran and O'Connor were timed twelve minutes in conversation. Curran said that he was de«cylbjng three suspiowus oharaotsrs he had se«jj. THE SHADOW OF DEATH OVERHANGS CAMERON Saturday morning’s mail brought him the following letter: “CAMERON OF CAMERONVILLE: i 6 Unless you cease selling suits at one third the price of other Clothiers your doom is sealed I! Thirty-five Mew York Clothiers have sworn to have your blood. You have ruined their business, and only your life can repay the injury you have inflicted on them. What fate is too horrible for the man who only charges sls for a Satin- Lined Prince Albert Suit? Cease doing these things or beware the untold ven geance of the Secret Society off Busted Clothiers. Wild Horses will tear you asunder.” Executive Committee 5.5.8. C.” CAMERON, Nos. 200,202, and 209 Flatbush Avenue, BROOKLYN. P.

There was no meeting of the Board of Fire Com missioners on Wednesday morning last. An ad journment to Wednesday next was had. SICK FIREMEN. The medical officers yesterday reported that the ■ sick and injured list of officers and men had been , reduced from fifty-seven to forty-eight. EXONERATED. Coroaer Eidman s jury, on Friday, exonerated Owen O’Rourke, Assistant Foreman of Hook and Ladder Company No. 4, from all blame lor the ; death of Engineer William Wray, of Engine Com- , pany No. 54, who was run over and fatally injured while trying to get up on the truck while it was going to a fire at Seventy-first Btreet and the Boule vard, on May 24th ult. THE RELIEF FUND. The committee, in charge of the theatrical bene fit, which was lately given in aid of the Relief 1 und, were somewhat disappointed in their expectations,as but a small number of the members exerted them selves. Had they done so, a very large sum could have been realized. Every inducement was offered in order that it might prove a success. As it turned out, but a small sum will accrue from the afia.r. Secretary Bishop has received many flattering letters testifying to his ability as an actor, and it is said that he has now under consideration an offer to take out a company of barn-stormere next sea son. Should he do so, Bill Borst will support him. The chairman of the Exempt and Volunteer Fire men's Associations' conference have not yet named the place where they will meet to arrange in what manner they will celebrate tho passage of the law continuing to the widows and orphans the tax which they have received for so many years past. It was decided by the Exempts to have a parade, but as October next has been named as the date to hold it, many old firemen look upon it with dis favor, as it is likely to entangle them with political complications which, for the interest of the fund hereafter, should be avoided. It is likely that the parade will be abandoned unless it should take place within the next few weeks, in which case no political significance could be attached to it. It has been suggested that the better way to tes tify their appreciation of the law-makers, would be to have the conference committees agree upon the resolutions of thanks, in which special mention could be made of those who were instrumental in passing the law, then select the person to read them, engage a large hall—say Cooper Institute or the Academy of Music—issue tickets to the mem bers and their families, also to.he widows and in digent old firemen who are benefitted from the fund, and have the resolutions put to the house for public adoption. The committee could then have a programme to follow in the shape of a concert, music, &c. This would be the better and more iatisfactory way of giving thanks, and would stifle any attempt of ringing in politics by whomsoever it might be intended, and at tbe same time avoid the noisy demonstration which should be considered foreign to a charitable institution. The resignation of Mr. Bonner was received dur ing the week. No importance a'tacbes to it except that as an old fireman he may have felt disappoint ed that his old comrades did not see fit to side in with his views ou tbe question of the Tax law. As an offset to his resignation, a late Fire Commission er Las paid one years' dues in advance, so that with the remaining two thousand two hundred and odd members, it is believed that the association can still exist. The friends of President Crane have been making vigorous efforts to induce Mayor Hewitt to appoint him a Fire Commissioner. It can be truly said of Mr. Crane that he is a worker and rarely fails in anything that he undertakes. At the last report Mr. Crane was said to be in the advance, and that the only reason why be has not been appointed al ready was. that he was a non-resident. This is not strictly correct, as we happen to know that Mr. Crane has been a guest of tbe Hotel Madison for mouths past, his bus.uese arrangements being such that he could not afford the time to live out of the city. Some members of his family reside in Brook lyn. which, perhaps, has given rise to the story of his being a non-resident. The Exeuctivo Committoe of the Exempt Fire men's Association of Troy have forwarded a list of hotels, prices, etc.; also that the railroads through out the State will carry companies of firemen and delegates at tbe rate of three cents per mile for the round trip, with but payment for one way. There are forty-five hotels, accommodating over five thousand people, and the average rates being $2 per day, insures a large attendance at the con vention, which is to last from the 16th to the 19th of August next. Chief Engineer W. F. Holroyd is chairman of the reception committee—a selection that assures a good time to an old fireman, no mat. ter what part of the State he hails from. The com mittee are doing all in their power to make the oc casion a memorable one in the fire history of the State. The affairs of the association were never in a more prosperous condition than at present. A large num ber have applied to be readmitted as members of the Mutual Aid branch. Its benefits have been shown in several cases of late—a fact which causes many of the wives of the members to see to it that they do not drop out through carelessness. JU <sll- llingfers. JUST WHERE THEY NOW KNOW THE LAUGH DOESN’T COME IN. Wilson Rock, aged seventeen, residing at No. 338 West Seventeenth street, and John White, aged six teen, of No. 512 West Twenty-ninth street, were be fore Justice O’Reilly, yesterday, charged with door bell ringing, Friday night. White pleaded the baby act—he was a minor, irresponsible for his acts. This caused an adjournment till to-day. It under age, as he says, or tries to prove himself, he goes to the House of Refuge till he may be twenty-one. Had they pleaded guilty yesterday, and said they were sorry, a light flue would have been imposed, and, it’ paid, that would have been the end of it. Ida Vincent, a very respectable colored woman, residing at No. 202 West Sixteenth street, said the urisoners pulled her bell, banged the shutters, and broke one side down. When she expostulated with the y oung men they replied, “You go to , you nigger.” Rock said that was not so. She tried to catch the NEW YORK DISPATCH, JUNE 12, 1887. young man that did do it, but he ran; he stood, and she didn’t .get the right one, White acknowledged that he did not live in Six teenth street, and couldn’t explain how he came there. They were committed in default of SSOO bail each for examination this morning. Pat Sullivan’s Story. WHAT HE SAYS WAS THE RESULT OI A CLUB BING. Patrick Sullivan, a laborer, was charged with as saulting Officer Linn, of the S xth Precinct. The officer said Sullivan came out of a liquor saloon in i’ toxicatod. A citizen told him the accused was strik | ing everybody that came along. When tbe officer I came up to Sullivan, he was struck across tho face i with a billiard cue. Defendant said he worked that day and hadn’t I drank anything in three years before that night. I When in this liquor saloon in Baxter street, a fellow got a billiard cue and was going to bit him. Ho grabbed it and it broke in two, and went on the i sidewalk. Standing outside tbe door the officer J came up and struck him, and beat him senseless, and ho was laid up six months. “How long were you iu Chambers street Hos pital ?” asked counsel. “Four months. I was lanced there from day to day for four months, where the wounds had fes tered where I had been clubbed. I was doing noth ing but standing at tbe door after taking the bil liard cue from the man.” “The officer says you were intoxicated.” “Yes, I give iu to that.” “ Weren’t you going along flourishing this billiard cue ?” “No.” ” You had it in your band ?” “Yes, I had one part; the fellow had the other.” “You have been pretty severely punisbe 1,” said Justice Kilbreth; “ten dollars flue.” .TollTi and Sarali. SHE SCRUBS AND WASHES, AND HE DRINKS HER EARNINGS. John and Sarah Hilley are a young couple, They resided at 902 Third avenue. Last Sunday her hus band assaulted her. “ What did he do?” asked the Court. “He asked me for a quarter to go out and get shaved and have a drink. Then lie came back and asked for more money. I could not give it, and he hit mo four or five times, and kicked me.” “ How many children have you ?” “Two.” •* What does he work at ?” “He is a coachman.” “ Doc s ho give you good support ?” “No, very little.” “ What do you do?” “I go out doing washing and ironing.” “ What have you to say ?” asked the Court. “Nothing.” replied the man. “Your wife, with two small children, goes out and does washing, and you beat her. Have you nothing to say in your defense?” "Nothing,” replied the man. “We find you guilty. Can you get along without this man ?” “ I’ll do the best I can, if he keeps away from me.” “Four months,” said the Court. Ned’s < Tiix rac tei?. HE HAD BETTER REFORM OR LIVE ACROSS TOWN. Edward Rock looked quite a young man, not over twenty-three, had served many short terms in the City Prison and Penitentiary, and once, the last imprisonment, in Sing Sing. He was charged with assault with intent to steal as a pickpocket, by Officer Hunt. The officer said at ten minutes to two in the morning, at Morton and West streets, he saw prisoner put his hand in a sailor’s pocket. The sailor was lying on the side walk drunk. When he first saw Rock he stood fifty or sixty feet off. Prisoner raised the sailor up and put him in an ice wagon, and said, “ Now, Jack, go to sleep.” He waited till Rock lay down beside the sailor, and was “going through him,” when he came ou him. “What did he say?” asked the Court. *“ I didn’t think you would do that on me.’ He is jUHt down two weeks from State Prison. I have known him since he was a boy.” “ I merely lilted the man up.” said the prisoner. “He said he wanted to go to sleep, and 1 said you can go to sleep there better.” “ ’What were you doing out at that hour?” “I work at Washington Market.” “Guilty,” said tho Court. “What do you know about him, officer?” “He has been arrested four or five times for grand iaroeny. He has baeu all his lifetime a loafer around corners, never working, but living by rob bing drunken people.” “One year,” said the Court. Claimed t® toe an Officer. FLOURISHED A PISTOL AND WANTED TO MAKE AN ARREST. “On the second of this month did you see Joseph Bennett?” asked the Court. “Yes, sir; at No. 122 Allen street,” said Joseph Lees. “He came iu the house and claimed to be an officer. He said he had just come from Eldridge street police-station, and he said he had a warrant for somebody. He had a revolver in his band, and . rushed up-stairs and rapped at the door. He stood flourishing his revolver in the presence of four men and a woman. I asked him who he wanted. He said he wanted George or Harry somebody. I said you can arrest the whole family, but you must show your authority. He said, ‘l’ll show you,’ flourishing h s revolver. I went down to get an SICK HEADACHE.

Then he said the brother had knocked down a woman and stolen sll. He told him the man hadn’t been there in two weeks.
