THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST 13, 1905.
LIKE DEVERY'S
POLICE COURTS
Lacking the Humor of Those
of New York Is That
of Portland.
CHARGES AGAINST SLEUTHS
JIartman Must Make Further Shovr
Ing No Written Charge Against
Snow and Kerrigan Petcr
son Is Reprimanded.
Once upon a time New York had a
Police Chief named Bill Devery. He
was chief high executioner of the police
trial board and was heralded as the
"best Chief of Police New York ever
had." Bill Devery gave to the world that
elegant epigram, "touching on and ap
pertaining to." and he gave It while he
was passing sentences upon patrolmen and
detectives who were brought before him
for various Infractions of the police reg
ulations. Chief Bill Devoir's police trial
courts began -the greatest of American
jokes. His wit and caustic comments
were lipped around the world, thanks to
the telegraph.
Portland's Police Committee.
Of course, this micht strike the lay
mind as having nothing to do with the
Portland Police Committee, provided un
der the new charter, but if yesterday's
proceedings of this board is a sample of
what is to follow, It will have Bill
Devery's court beaten as decisively as
the Japs have beaten the Russians. This
new Police Committee is made up of
Mayor Harry Lane, Attorney T. G. Green.
JL Jj. Sabin and Niels J. Blagen. Attor
ney Green seems to be the chairman of
the committee, for he administers the
oath and leads oft In the examination
of principals and witnesses. The other
members of the board or committee have
the divine right of Interrogation and
several times during the three hearings
yesterday they made good use of that
prerogative. There is little chance of the
Portland Police Trial Court becoming as'
famous for wit and humor as that once
conducted by Bill Devery, but if other
hearings furnish as much unalloyed
amusement as the three cases heard yes
terday, there will never be any more
need of attending a ten, twent and thirt'
show, whenever these hearings are on.
Hartman's, the First Case.
The first case taken was that of De
tective 1. C. Hartman. The next was
the case against Ben Peterson, who
smote a barber citizen of the city on
the cheek. The third was charges brought
against Policeman Rogers, which exposed
to the onlightenment of the committee
the love affairs of a policeman and an
ancient real estate dealer. The fourth
rase never came to hearing. This was
supposed to have been, to state It le
gally the case of Kerrigan and Snow
vs. the Police Committee. It was 5:30
o'clock when this case was reached and
It was 5:32 when the case against thum
was dismissed because there were no
written charges tiled against the two
city sleuths. Attorney and Chairman
Green made this startling discovery, al
though the newspapers have been teem
ing with stories, telling how this pair of
city thleftakers allowed Francis Mitchell
to escape punishment by falling to appear
against him.
Next to the scandalous profane vocabu
lary of Joe Day, the charges against Ker
rigan and Snow were scheduled as reaching
the high-water mark in connection with
the recent police scandals. The story
goes that Mayor Lane himself had ordored
Acting Chief of Police Gritzmacher to :
summon the two detectives before the
committee. Perhaps the Mayor did not
know that It was necessary to make writ
ten charges against the detectives when
he telephones his acting Chief to have
them appear. "When the third case be
fore the committee was concluded, the
Mayor and Attorney Green seemed to be
surprised to see Kerrigan and Snow still
lingering. Some one present asked the
detectives what they were there for. They
did not seem to know.
No "Written Charges. i
i
Suddenly Attorney Green stated that !
inasmuch as there were no written
charges against them, they could not
be heard. Both detectives stated that
Assistant District Attorney Bert Haney ;
was present and would explain every- '
thing, but both Attorney Green and
Mayor Lane stated that on account o.
certain logal safeguards, the commit-
tee was not empowered to hear evi
dence where there were no charges In
writing. So, if Messrs. Kerrigan and
Snow, who proclaim their innocence to
the hlcrh heavens, but who nrnmlsed
themselves in the future to prosecute
every prisoner they arrest to the limit,
are to be hauled before this committee
again, some one must hand in written
charges.
The case of Detective I C Hart
man was brought up with Its four
charges, namely, neglect of duty, dis
obedience of orders, absence and breach
of discipline. Serious? "Well, rather.
Hartman had gone to Chicago to get
a prisoner. Hal Lawrence, and while on
the way a couple of shrewd lawyers
"sprung him on a writ of habeas cor
pus, or something equally as formid
able. The authorities notified the of
ficials here that Lawrence had been
turned loose, and a telegram was sent
to Hartman, telling him to come back.
Hartman says he did not receive the
telegram, although Conductor Davis
says he delivered the message Hart
tnan's absence caused no cad of alarm
at this end of the lino. It was printed
that he had disappeared. Acting Chief
Gritzmacher offered a bundle of docu
ments in which there were a dozen or
more telegrams.
Hartman Makes Denial.
Hartman denied receiving the "re
call" .telegram, apd told of his arrival
in Chicago, how he was told on the
night of his arrival that Lawrence was
in jail, and thaf on the following morn
ing he was informed when he made a
second call at headquarters that Law
rence had been turned loose. Attorney
Green, whose legal training has made
him a good cross-examiner, pressed the
witness very close. Hartman stated
thfi't the reason he had not wired the
department here that Lawrence had
been liberated was because the Judge
he did not remember whiclj Judge-tend
two Chicago detectives, one whoso
name was Morgan, told him not to do
so, for Lawrence and his lawyers had
a perfect underground system of obtaining-
access to all the telegrams sent
out of Chicago, and that if he (Hart
marf) attempted to communicate with
his Chief here. Lawrence would get
"next" and would disappear. Hartman
shouldn't have taken Morgaas word
for anything. He's a second edition of
Joe Day, only on a larger scale.
Case Under Advisement.
Hartman produced a lot of legal
papers which he received from Spring
field. 111., to show that he was trying
hard to rearrest Lawrence. He as
sured the committee that it he was
Clven time he could secure affidavits
from Morgan, his partner and the
Judge upon whose advice he had acted.
He was also given time to set an af
fidavit from the conductor who is al
leged to have delivered the telegram
to him. The Board has the case under
advisement. Chairman Green thought
that the detective should have inquired
for a telegram at every division. On
his way to Chicago. Hartman stated,
he stopped at Columbus, Neb., and vis
ited his father, and that he stopped in
Kansas City on his return home to see
another relative. The trip cost the
city $182.
Mayor Lane took an Interest -Jn-what
the two Chicago detectives and
the Chicago Judge told Hartman. and.
wanted to know of Hartman If he
(Hartman) did not think 'they were
joking. Hartman said he wrote to
Acting: Chief Gritzmacher, but this let
ter never was received. He was sus
pended until he furnishes further proof
of his innocence.
Peterson Up for Brutality.
The next case taken up was that of
Policeman Ben Peterson, charged with
brutality, in that he was accused by
H. M. Howorth. a barber, of havinff
slapped him in the face and shoved him
rudely. Howorth was one of a crowd
that surrounded a man who was re
cently injured in a street-car accident.
The barber stated that he was on his
way home, and was attracted by the
crowd. Just as he arrived, he says,
Peterson plunged through the crowd
and ordered everybody back. He said
that Policeman Peterson shoved him so
Tdolently and so far that he asked the
policeman "if he wanted him to get off
the earth?" Howorth said that when
he asked Peterson this question he
slanped him In the face.
"While Peterson was telling his side of
the story. Mayor Lane wanted to know if
he (Peterson) was an amiable person.
The word amiable .wasn't In the police
manual, so the policeman could not an
swer. Then the Mayor called for a vocal
demonstration. He wanted to hear how
Peterson's voice sounded when he ordered
Howorth and the crowd back. Peterson
stated that he used the same tone of
voice in speaking to Howorth as he did
to anyone In thp North End. The officer
intimated that there were few gentlemen
on his beat, and that when Howorth re
fused to get back, that he thought he
"had a couple of jolts of whisky." Sev
eral witnesses were heard. When Peter
son attempted to cross-examine Howorth
an incipient squabble started, but Mayor
Lane shut them off. Peterson's case was
taken under advisement for a time, and
finally he was ordered reprimanded.
Love Affair in This.
The third case produced a love affair.
E. Simpson, who lives on Second street,
between Columbia and Clay streets, was
the complainant against Policeman W. H.
Rogers. Simpson brought the charges,
whatever they were, against Rogers be
cause he Is a citizen tried and true. Pa-,
trolman Rogers' troubles were the result
of his love for Mrs. Belle Dalghton. While
the policeman did not admit under oath
that he was engaged to Mrs. Dalghton,
he stated that It amounted to the same
thing, for be had an understanding with
her. It seems that J. L. Wigle. a real
estate dealer, old enough to know better,
was actually engaged to her. Wigle is a
real estate dealer, and it seems that he
has some business dealings with Mrs.
Dalghton. On the day of the trouble,
Wigle had called upon Mrs. Dalghton for
a settlement. He wanted "his presents
back," and the result was a row. Mrs.
Dalghton, It seems, hail two strings to
her bow and when Wigle became offen
sive, she hunted up her policeman sweet
heart, and called him into action.
Witness and Accused in Altercation.
Simpson stated that he heard Rogers
threaten to sweep up the sidewalk with
Wigle, and saw him take a picture out of
a watchcharm which Wigle had shown to
prove that he was engaged to Mrs. Dalgh
ton. Simpson stated that he heard Rogers
say that he also was engaged to the,
woman. When Simpson. In his testimony
cast a reflection upon the character of
Mrs. Dalghton. without appealing to the
committee. Policeman Rogers interrupted
the witness, and a brief, wordy war fol
lowed between the policeman and witness.
Rogers proclaiming that he had often
been in the lady s company, and that she
had "always acted the perfect lady."
Simpson assured the committee that ho
had no special object in bringing the
charges ngalnst Rogers other than that
of seing Justice done to an old man.
Wlgle's testimony favored the police
man. He said that he was engaged to
Mrs. Dalghton.
"Are you still engaged to her?" asked
Mayor Lane.
Wigle blushed through his white beard
and said: "What would you do If you
were engaged to a woman and a thing
like this came up."
Mayor Lane, confessed his inability to
cope with such a question.
Rogers Is Discharged.
Rogers confessed lhat he had been in
love with Mrs. Dalghton, but admitted
that since Tie discovered that she had- been
engaged to Wigle also, that he had
"turned her down." The woman In the
case disappeared last Monday, so she was
not present. Evidently, the committee did
not like the looks of the case, and it dis
charged Rogers from the police force. Be
fore passing Judgment upon Rogers,
Mayor l-ane, because the policeman re
sented Simpson "butting in," delivered
himself of a lecture. In which he Informed
the officer that any good citizen could
arrest a policeman if he saw him com
mitting a wrongful act. It was a clt.x.en'8
duty, the Mayor said, to do this.
Action Taken In Other Cases.
Action was also taken in the cases
of Night Patrol Driver J. H. Price and
Patrolmen L. K. Evans and C. B. JoJon,
who were tried by the co"mmIssIoners
August 3 for various offenses. The find
ings of the board were that Price
should be adjudged technically guilty
of conduct unbecoming an offlcer in
connection with taking a suicide to the'
Good Samaritan Hospital, and was rep
rimanded accordingly. It was the judg
ment of the commissioners that Price
was a good officer outside of a pen
chant for being quick-tempered.
Patrolman Evans was found guilty
of indiscretion amounting to conduct
unbecoming an officer in the matter of
his associations with certain elements
in the North End, and was recommend
,ed for a reprimand.
, Police Officer C. B. Jodon was found
not guilty of "rushing: the growler" for
two w6men on his East Side beat.

With the foregoing exclamation,

Coroner Flnley investigated the case,
learning that the suicide had not been

had consorted with women of evil re

Ex-Mayor Williams Has Been Ie

Civil Service Commission
Exceeded Its Powers."
Ex-Mayor "Williams has been retained as
attorney for M. W. Weidler. secretary
for the Fire Department, suspended oy

at the office of . the Civil Sen-Ice Com
mission for some time yesterday after
noon preparing his case for whatever ac

is made, which will probably take place
in case Mr.' Weldler's salary is held-up
by the body. In dlscu.vtnjr the situation
yesterday ex-Mayor Williams said the
matter of Weldler's appointment had been
decided under section 315 of the charter,
which provides that "No person shall btt
appointed or employed under any title
not appropriate to the duties to be per
formed, and no person shall, without ex
amination, be transferred or assigned
to perform the duties or any position In
the classified civil service unless "he shall
have been appointed to the position from
which such transfer is made as thn
result of an open competitive examina
tion, equivalent to that required for the
position to which the transfer is made,
or unless he shall have served with fidel
ity for at least six yearsln a like position
In the service of the city."
Saj-s Commission Erred.
"I do no think," said ex-Mayor Wil
liams, "that the Civil Service Commis
sion had any power to remove him
in fact. I am sure It has no such right, as
his appointment has been confirmed by
subsequent commissions, and if such a
condition prevailed it would result in all
sorts of complications, because it could
go over all the papers In every examina
tion that has taken place before the
commission, and find enough fault to

civil service rules out of a Job. No
court will uphold any such doctrine

Records of Commission.
The records of the Civil Service "Com

date of June 16, 130i: "The Civil Service
