iFrey Denies Charge, Slovens
".Case Not Considered; Plea
Made for Clemency, ,
, Ten- of 12 pollcemei who were re
cently d'snjiBsed fromjv service by the
majur for gambling j afKl who had
, $helr hearings yesterday before the
municipal civil service board on peti
tions for -clntatement8, admitted
they had participated lit games of.
pitch nd poker during the last year,
in which tne stakes' ranged , from a
tew cents to an much as 980 a sitting, i
The eleventh, ex-Patrolman , Frey, '
denied, the charges, lie said he had
played In one game of pitch, and
later leurnlng it had been for money.
pa'd his louses, 75 cents, for fear that (
he otherwise would be t ailed a "piker." j
The ase of ex-Captain Slover has
been put ovt-r until January 22. At !
the conclusion the commission took
the casH under advisement and it la j
expected will make known' its findings I
in a few days. j
The hearings lasted from 9:3 d
o'clock In the morning until after 7 I
o'clock lasc night. Throughout thv '
.day the former officers took the stand
and teitfied each against the other, '
apparently in the hope that the com
mission would see fit to-find the pen-,
oltv of d smissal too heavy and remit '
it and impose fines instead
Technicalities Brushed. Aside.
Early in the session attorneys ap-
fearinx for the men I opened the de-i
tense 'w th a line of technicalities. I
Tney soon ascertained that the board,
which consist of George W. Caldwell,
John F. Logan and A. E. Clark, all
lawyers, would not tolerate legal)
(UiLule. Thereupon the cases were .
presented with a view ;of showing that j
the punishment meted out by the
inavor was too heavy to "fit the 1
crime." !
R. I. Whiteside, One of the dis-1
charged patrolmen, opened a way for t
another line of investigation, which i
asssasst
III

the commission decided to take up
later, when he, on the witness stand.,
- declared that Patrolman Charles j
Grisim, In company with Patrolman
? Cameron, showed him a list purport-'
:.' lng to be e names of men who had
Worked ngainst Mayor Albee during j
tlie campaign, or who had paid fori
, ' hergt-antslrlps, and who had gambled. !
Whiteside Said he quit playing cards j
' Immediately thereafter, for he did not ,
want to be caught. ;
"After the primaries in May, Grlslm, !
whom I knew, came tb me with a llstj
i of names," said Whiteside. "He knew 1
1 was favorable to Albee. With mm
was Patrolrrtan CamOTon.
Al bee's Antagonists Usted.
"Grisim said that the list bore the
names of those who were working
against Albee and the men who paid
to get their sergeantshlps. He said
that the men had gambled and" he was
after them. Patrolman Davis wus also
shown the list.- He Indicated that the
- . men were to go if Albee were elected.
' ' " Rupert and Thatcher headed the list."
f Whiteside could not recollect other
' " names he asserted he had seen. Grittim
1 - has since been promoted from the
. ranks to a position In the detective
. department and Cameron has been
taken from a beat land made day
..':.. Jailer. I ' c
Although the full fforsnoon and a
- portion of the afternoon was given
! .ver to hearing the case Of Frey,
charged with gambling, firing fire
arms witnin ths city limit and UBing
. profanity, tlie cases jn th afternoon
were consolidated, for the Jnoat part,
and ware consequently hafidled With
dispatch. Captain Riley, Sergeants
Pressey and Rupert ; and Patrolman
f Whiteside appeared jfor themselves.
. The men who bunched their cases
i,. Were Sergeant Casey: and Patrolmen
Clirlstofferson, Fuller. John Jones,
f Sichlrmer a'nd Hutehlngs.
v ' Good Xeoords Testified To.
Among the witnesses called were
. Captain Moore Thomas., G. Greene, ex
police commissioner,! and ex-Chief
Grltmacher, who testified as to .the
s . pood records of th men. Deputy
City Attorney Tomllnson, who prose
cuted the cases, said; he was willing
.' to- admit that they had made good
j , records as far as official duties were
. . 1 concerned. '
i y The testimony of each officer was
i practically the same. They had either
gambled In the Police Athletic club, or
' ? . In Chrlstofferson's apartments, in the
ii , Jullanna apartment. Trinity Place. It
. ' , was brought out that his rooms were
, ! . - . the center of a number of merry Ht
i ' tie parties, poker and social. 'A few
. games had been played elsewhere. It
as also declared that gambling had
been going on in the"police department
for 15 years and many men, not on
, trial had gambled. No names were
, f mentioned, however, j
t - Sergeant Pressey's case was the
first called. Declaring he could not
j- see the use of having an attorney when
;.s th board was made up of lawyers, he
;v '. pleaded for reinstatement on his ree
': ord. For five years.; he said, he had
;- been in the department, had won his
I . sergeantshlp by merit, had" worked
J-..' anywhere from 10 tofla hours a day,
' -and "wanted to get back because he
, "i . liked to work.
. I, Said He Frequently Gambit d.
On cross examination he admitted
; :':-.- he gambled frequently. When the j
first Investigation was undertaken '
Pressey signed an affidavit that no!
'gambling had gone .On. He said he
' .. had done so because the others bad
- - t decided to stand "pat." , Iater, after j
' , ' "they had cftnfessed. . IPressey likewise;
i ' experienced a change of heart and
' admitted gamblirc j ' j
. v Just what "stand ; pat" meant was
apparently not clear,! because Captain
: -. Klley a little later said he stood "pat"
; "t . . bj. admitting his own acts, but refus-u
lr g to involve others - I
' Sergeant RUpert,- who has secured
i ': x-X another position, asked for reinstate-.
menf to clear his record. If rein
atated he Bald, he would immediately
.--" . resign. . His plea, fori clemency won a
. - - remark from Commissioner Logan that i
Rupert had been one" of the best of-
' ficera on the force. It was also
4 brought out that Rupert's present po
' sttion depends largely - upon whether
the board acts favorably on his peti
tion. Others made a plea for . Clem
ency, basing it on past work in the
department. ' , .(.''.
