The Penltentary Yawns. The Portland Telegram says : "A sen sational statement, containing serious charges against Detective Frank Snow, and casting grave aspersion upon De tective John Kerrigan, was filed with General Charles F. Beebe. chairman of the Board of Police Commissioners, to day: The statement is signed by L. R. Fields, a real estate dealer, having offices in the Alisky building, and Councilman Sharkey, who is a part owner of the New Grand Central Hotel. In the hos telry, named, Frank Kemper, a farmer near Hillsboro, Or., was robbed of $50 Friday night, and the direct charge named against Detective Snow by the signers of the statement is attempting to persuade the complaining witness to leave the city and to drop prosecutiqn of the case, after he bad notified the police of the robberv. Xo direct charge ii made against Detective Kerrigan, but he is compared with "Bob" Patterson, who is said by the police to be notorious as the friend of thieves, and whose saloon become so noted for robberies that the City Council refused to renew his license. After the robbery had been reported to the police, Chief Hunt detailed De tectives Kerrigan and Snow upon it. In the meantime Councilmen Sharkey, Bently and Foeller, together with L. R. Fields, took up the case, and learned enough to convince them that some thing was decide wrong, and that the detectives were not making proper efforts to catch the thief and prosecute the case. Subsequently they went to the Union Depot, where Kemper, the complaining witness, was found. He was about to board his train for Hills-! bore. Mr. Fields placed him nndr arrest, and he was taken to the City Jail. I Annie Pollard was arrested Saturday j by Detective Snow. She was charged ! with Kemper robbery, and in the Muni- j cipal Court this morning she waived examination and was held to the grand jury under $1500 bonds. Both Detectives Kerrigan and Snow deny the charges against them. Chief Hunt stated that there will be a thorough investigation of the case."
