Dougherty, owner, of the Sunday Transcript,
alleged llbelers of Police Captain Nicholas
Kenny nnd Policeman John Digger, of tho
Third street nnd Pairmount avenue station
house, surrendered today.
Warrants had been out for the men over
since the Sunday following the big vice
raid In July, The warrants alleged libel
for publication of a story of tho raid, in
which the police captain and tho patrolman
were accused of grafting.
Knight and Dougherty waived a hear
ing and wcro held In $1000 ball for court
by Magistrate IJeaton. Tho Fidelity Trust
and Safe Deposit Company furnished the
security. The case now goes to Common
Pleas.
Benjamin Colder, of the office of John C.
Bell, attorney for tho Transcript men, was
asked why they decided to give themselves
up and said he couldn't tell. He had just
been brought Into the case, he said, and did
nothing more than tell the Magistrate the
men would waive tho hearing, nnd he ex
pected to do nothing more until the c.ihq
comes up In court, The men had arranged
for tho ball themselves, ho said.
The men accused had "nothing to say".
Mr. G older last night telephoned William
A. Urajv counsel for tho policemen, that
he was ready to bring Knight nnd
Dougherty Into court, and they fixed the
hearing for this morning.
Mr. Gray said the reason the men sur
rendered was because "they learned wo
were close on their trail."
Asked what tho outcomo of the case would
be, ho said, "The men would undoubtedly
go to jail unless they printed a retraction."
