Samardick Retained
By Eberstein After
10 Days' Suspension
Robert Samardick, who was sus
pended from the police force by
Chief Eberstein following a raid he
conducted December 20 on the Bert
Fox home, 1903 Emmet street, was
allowed to return to work yesterday
morning, after a suspension of 10
days by the chief.
Samardick was accused of arrest
ing, without just cause, Mr. and
Mrs. Fox and Mr. and Mrs. N. W.1
Green in the raid, and of violent be
havior while in the Fox home.
The charges were filed with the
city council, and upon the sugges
tion by Mayor Smith it was voted
yesterday morning to place the case
before the chief of police for final dis
position, since the policeman had
been on the force less than six
months and was not entitled to a
hearing before the commission.
Samardick insisted he did his
duty in raiding th Fox home and
tliat he was guilty of no miscon
duct while in the house. When
told of Chief Eberstein's decision,
he declared he was uncertain
whether or not he would return to
work.
"I do not think. I will accept the
decision of the chief," he said.
