Officer Church, Instead of v making a
raid on the place, made no effort in this
' direction, but insinuated to the complain
'ant that he had better drop the matter.
When th robbed man, however. Insisted
that he desired his money back; Mr.
Church telephoned to Mr. De Martini and
told him tes come down to the station
and fix up the kick that had been mad
by a boy that had been fleeced in ht.i

that he had lost but and were: willing
to give him that sum if he' would keep
