They arc .Toseph Chase, Antonio Harotil and William Logni). All were attached to the Fifteenth street and Snyder avenue station. Prompt action in these cases was taken by Director Corlcljou following un Investigation miido by Captain Tempest. 1 The three policemen, It Is said, joined iu lively obsequies held over i King Alcohol in the saloon of Chris topher Patchoff, Heed and Bouvicr streets. The ceremonies lasted until Saturday morning. According to reports of the, affair it was rather a cosmopolitan celebration. Things were going harmoniously, it is said, when Patrolman Uaronl accused u negrcss, who was drinking iu the place, of robbing him of $5. This was lescntcd by friends of the woman, it appears, and the other two policemen became involved in u fight that followed. Logan's uniform was torn into shreds and there were many dull thuds nnd crushes, When things were looking serious, it is said, Uaronl drew his re volver and nipped off several attractive lights which adorned the celling. This was followed by a general rush for the doors. While investigating tho case Captain Tempest found that Chaso was thirteen squares trom uis regular bent, while Logan was twenty-one squares from the bailiwick which he is supposed to cover. When the police asked Patchoff for a report of the affair he declined to dis cuss it.
