of the Fourth nnd Iloce FtrcctH station,-"
climbed a flro escape of n candy factory,
went Into tho building and then enmo down
the stairs, with his pockets bulging with
sweets, wero made today when he was nr-
lirned before tho police trial nonru mia
afternoon, nccuEcd of conduct unbecoming
an officer. Frecland denied ho had 'an ab
normal sweet tooth, and said that the wit
nesses were unappreclatlve citizens nursing
an abnormal grouch.
On Sunday, October H, according to
Wlllam Kurt and Albert Kberlc, they
were at work on the fourth floor of a down
town candy factory when they were at
tracted by a noise In the hall. 'They In
vestigated and found Patrolman Freeland
sauntering downstairs with his pockets
bulging. Frecland, they nsserted, unloaded
tho candy on a table nnd when nuestloncd
had said ho had not come In the door like
n regular policeman, hut had leisurely
climbed t'.io flre-cscape and entered the
building bj- way of a window.
Freeland did nothing of the sort, he told
tho board. The street door to tho factory,
ho declared, was left ppen nnd fearing that
burglars would enter the place, or had
entered It, ho decided to Investigate. The
men who nccused him, he said, were on the
fourth floor and ho questioned them as to
their presence In tho building. Kurtz and
liberie wero sarcastic, he testified, and a
wordv argument followed, which ended by
Ills threatening them with arrest for work
ing on Sundny.
Tho hoard held the case under advise
ment nnd will certify Its findings to Director
of Public Safety Wilson. Tho ward, In
cidentally, Is a McNIchol ward.
