Mayor and Witness Argue Char
acter of Hold Complainant

Policeman Hans Boegh was sus
pended five days without pay by city
council, following a hearing of
charges that he arrested Mrs. Emma

the form of a warrant.
On the night of July 26, Mrs., Abe
Walk, 1923 Paul street, and Mrs.

ing house. ...
Doegh was also charged with using
i miecessary force in arresting Mrs.
Kosenfeldt, who held to a post ot
her porch with arms and limbs. Three
policemen were required to get her
tot he patrol wagon.
"She had a scissors hold on the
post." said Dan Cahjll, witness.
"You mean a Stecher hold," inter
posed Mayor Smith.

Ringer and Chief Dempsey did not
meet the requirements of the case;

be dismissed from the service for
