Show ACCUSED POLICEMAN AND WAS FINED $15 i i ' Paul Murray, who was arrested by Patrolman Seigfus on a hydra-headed charge of drunk, vagrancy and abusive language last night, was tried on these charges in Police court this afternoon. . During his trial he accused the officer making the arrest of having used bad language to him while he was being searched in the desk sergeant's office. His testimony was refuted by other patrolmen, pa-trolmen, when Murray Jumped to his feet and declared that he had no chance to prove his assertion, as the officers would stand by each other and would convict him, regardless of anything he could say. His conviction followed, and he was fined $15. The trial on the vagrancy charge will occur Thursday, and th charge of being drunk was dismissed. |
