Aereelne that Lewis wa Kinlty of
Knowledge of the theft, but that there
were extenuating circumstances, the
con. mittee voted to fine him 1110 anil
to allow him no pay during the time he
has t. en suspended, which will mean
t:ia: he loaea $2.1o. but will have a
chance to "make good" and to ahow
tils superior officers th:it he la not a
thief or willingly a party to a theft.
The difference In the orders of the
committee. Is that Policeman Peterson
has served seven years and ought to
have known better than to have stolen
anything, and that he also slipped the
revolver Into the other man's pocket,
making him to retain It. without saying
why. Lewis Is a new member of the
department and the members felt that
be was led Into the trap hurriedly,
trusting In Peterson's Integrity and
tha he also deserved aome leniency for
confessing the whole truth.
tor two weeks after the raid, during.
whXi time Chief of Pollc S'.over wan
trying with every power at his com
mand to clear up the disappearance of
the weapon thai had been taken from
the t'hlnese. Policeman Iewta was ltt

ment his brother officer slipped the gun
Into his pocket. Lewis swore, he was
irrtfctlv troubled ami tried on several
occasions to make Pcleraon take It

powers, for the Chinese, had complained
about the loss of It and trouble waa In
I'elersoa la t barged.
Ftnallx, Towers told Thief Stover that
he himself stuV Peterson take, the
weapon from the room. The. Chief alt
the time held to the belief that none
cf Ms men. nine. In all. who had made
t raid were guilty. The weapon had
never arpeared at headquarter and
no report made on It.
The climax waa reached when the
Chief, at a rollcall. ordered the entire
Chinatown squad Into bis office and
said that one of the men In the room
had taken the revolver. For some time,
no one said a word, but at last when
convinced that the guilty man was
not going to speak. one of the nine
tM the Chief that I-ew1 had told him
that a woman had the gun.
Tha Chief then released the other
men. bnt ordered Sergeant Harms, who
commanded the aiua1. to swear to a
larceny charge and the Chief also sus
pended Lewts forthwith. Testifying on
this point. Chief blover said:
Lew la -aka im Ita-feerf lllaaaelf.
"When the larceny charse was filed.
Lewis rame Into my office and said
that he was no "piker." but that, when a
brother officer would stand by and aee
him not only suspended from the force
In disgrace, but also criminally charged
and never speak a word In bia defense,
he felt It was time to sav something
for himself. He then accusted Peter
aon. whom I also susended."
Lewis, on the stand yesterday, told
the committee that he tr ed to "miuire"
through the whole thing: that lie did
Tim want 10 make trouble for Peter
n. but that he. saw the later he must
protect himself, especially when the
larceny oharse waa filed.
Attorney Powers, the first witness,
fixed without doubt the fate of Peter
son w-hen ho swore he saw Peterson
sreal the weapon, but that he did not
know what he did with It after that.
1L could not be swerved by Attorney
Henry 11. Weslbrook. counsel for Peter
son, or any one else.
IVteraaa flalaaa "TrssifeJ" (kirse.
Peterson, under oath, absolutely de
nied the whole thing, aaylng that he
knew nothing about the loss of tho
Tevolver: that Lewis had never men
tioned the occurrence to him and that
the whole, charge was trumped up.
Members of the committee gave wide
latitude, wishing to get all facts or
the casex Lewis 1L Dawley, represent
ing Lewis, said that he advised hla
client to tell the whole truth, shielding
not even himself, and that that waa
how the facts became known.
The revolver was placed In th keep
ing of a friend of Lew is, it was shown,
but not a woman, as had been told
by a misunderstanding. The larceny
case was dismissed In Municipal Court
because no one could Identify the re
volver. Before announcing their decision, all
of the members of th committee de
nounced In emphatic terms any police
man who would stoop to such a thins
and agreej that nothing but drastic
action will teach policemen to protect
and not pilfer.

BEARD WILL 0ECI0E
Judge McGinn Settles One
Point in Legal Battle.
SHARE IN LAND ORDERED
Plaliitirr Are Allowed One-Fifth
Interest in Part of Kstatc
They Claim Brother Holds
in Trust.
Judge McGinn disposed of one point
of the legal strife between the heirs
of tho late 8. M. Beard yesterday, when
he decided that Roscoe Beard and Mary
B. Gray are entitled to a oi.e-flfth In
terest, each, in 41 and a fraction acres
of Isnd near Kelly Butte, and several
lots in block L Tabor Heights, standing
In the name of A. Edgar Beard, their
brother.
The Judge held that this property had
been deeded to A. Edgar Beard in trust
by S. M. Beard, and the plaintiffs were
allowed their Interest because they are
each entitled under the .will of 8. M.
Beard to one-fifth of his property.
The evidence showed that the late
Beard, who had been married four
times and divorced three was in dread
of becoming entangled with designing
women. This was held by the court to
be the reason for the transfer of the
property.
Deed la Produced.
Wallace McCamant. attorney for Mrs.
Gray and lioscoe. Beard, produced an
unrecorded deed In which A. Kdgar
Beard retransferred to his uncle the
Tabor Heights property. A letter writ
ten by the uncle asking for a similar
deed back to him for the Kelly Butte
property was Introduced in evidence,
and Judge McGinn proceeded on the
assumption that this deed had been or
should have been executed.
There was testimony to show that A.
Edgar Beard took possession of papers
on the day of his uncle's death, and
other papers later. Some of these pa
pers were -prodnced by A. Kdgar Beard,
In County Court, while the settlement
of the estate was In progress, and
after proceedings had been started
against him for failure to obey an order
of Judge Cleetnn to produce them.
The Case Is Dropped.
On production of the papers. Judge
Cleeton allowed the contempt proceed
ings to be dropped.
Under the will, with the exception of
a few minor bequests, the property was
divided equally between his sister-in-law.
Mrs. Elizabeth Beard, and her
four children, A. Kdgar Beard. Roscoe
P-eerd. Mary K. Gray and Mrs. Carrie
Ella Cadwell. Mrs. Beard and Mrs.
Cadwell have not started suits for the
shares of the Kelly Butte and Tabor
Heights property, to which they are en
titled, according to Judge McGinn's
decision.
The Tabor Heights property - was
deeded to A. Edgar Beard in July, 1897,
and the Kelly Butte property In June.
1S"3. He denied the allegations of his
brother and sister that the land had
been deeded to him In' trust.
Heard died in 1910, and the flgbt be
tween beirs over his estate has-been
continuous since.' Mary B. Gray and A.
Edgar Beard were removed as admin
istrators of the estate, after a long and
bitter fight In County Court, and to

JURY CONVICTS DENTIST
UNLICENSED TOOTH EXTRACTOR.
PROSECUTED TENTH TIME.
Stale Board of Examiners la Plain,
tirf Attorney Hurl Epithets
Such as "Crook." "Mar."
In a trial of extreme heat and bit
terness, Edward Edwards, unlicensed
dentist, waa convicted by a Jury in
Justice Bell's court yesterday of prac
ticing without a license.
This was the 10th prosecution of
this defendsnt by the State Board of
Iental Examlnera, and the second con
viction. A former Judgment In Justice
Olson's court. In which he was fined
fioo. Is now In tho Circuit Court, and
a suit 'o enjoin the board from ar
resting; blm Is also pending In the
higher tribunal.
Arrests of Edwards have come ' at
frequent Intervals for several years
past, and are always the occasion for
charges that the defendant Is being
persecuted by the board, which refuses
to allow him a license, though, says
his attorney, he la far their superior
In dental lore. He is said to have a
diploma from Queen's College. London,
but as that Institution is not accredited
In the National Association of Dental
Faculties, the certificate does not pass
with the examiners here.
Edwards operates the Chicago Pain
less Dentists, a corporation, of which
he Is president and his wife is secre
tary. He made the defense that he
did not receive any money for the
treatment set forth- In the complaint,
but the state showed that the money
was paid to his wife.
Attorney Havls. special prosecutor,
denounced Edwards as a "crook" and
Attorney Fowler as a "pettifogger"
and Mlar." In the course of the
trial, the last epithet being used when
Fowler told the Jury that Davis had
said he was going to "put that old
skeeslcs in all this time."
Justice Bell will pronounce sentence
this afternoon and an appeal will be
taken.
