Thompson Thirteen hundred years ago, at the court of King Edward in Northumbria, in a great assem bly hall whose wattled walls were lit by flaming torches, an eager body of listerners heard the first message of Christianity delivered in Britain. It was followed with much discussion, in the midst of which an old warrior stood forth and cried out, “Can this new' re ligion tell us what happens after death? Man is as a swallow fly ing through this lighted hall. He enters from the dark, he goes out into the dark. What comes to a man in the dark, dim unknown?” That has ever been the question. A thousand years before a per plexed voice out of the Old Tes tament put it this way, “If a man die shall he live again?” And hundreds of years before Job, and all down the ages the question has been sounding in the hearts of men. Well Easter Sunday answers the question. The answer may not satisfy, but it's the best we can give. As a matter of fact, the belief of life after death is a matter of faith. You cannot prove it any more than you can prove that the sun will rise on the morrow. Some things must be taken for granted. So with the dectrine of immortality. It is a conviction, a way of life. Browning clarifies our meaning in his courageous lines: “I go to prove my soul. I see my way as birds their trackless way. I shall arrive. What time, what circuit first, I ask not; but unless God sends his hail Or blindiing fireballs, sleet or stifling snow, In some time, His good time, I shall arrive.” -V BUT WAR BONDS AND STAMPS .-..... Civil Service Group Awaits Council Note (Continued from Page One) the matter is closed” in the case of Policeman G. C. Looney, fol lowing the apprisal by the press that the City Attorney had ruled that affidavits furnished the com mission were sufficient to conduct a hearing. The civil service chief said he could not speak for other members of the Commission. The Rev. J. F. Herbert, ministerial representa tive, disclosed that ‘‘I and another member were desirous of having a hearing,” in the Looney case on last Monday night. The City Attorney submitted his rulings, opinions, and reviewed the case in the following communica tion sent to individual members of the Council: March 29, 1945 ‘‘Mayor Ronald Lane Wilmington, N. C. “Dear Mayor Lane: “Re: Charges Against Police Of ficer G. C. Looney, Transmitted by toe City to the Civil Service Commission. “At the meeting of the City Council yesterday, I was request ed to rule upon and give the Council opinions concerning the ioliowing questions arising in me above entitled matter: “1. Did the record in this case, which was submitted by the Coun cil to the Civil Service Commis sion, comply with the require ments of the Civil Service Act of 1941 as amended and sufficient for the Civil Service Commission to conduct a hearing and pass upon the Looney case? “2. Is the City required to re instate Officer Looney as of March 3, 1945, the date of his suspension by the Chief of Police? “3. What is the City now re quired to do under the law with respect to Officer Looney? “1 will answer each question in order and discuss the reasons for such answer. As to question (1) my answer is “Yes.” “Section 9, Chapter 223 of the Public Local Law of 1941 provides that “No officer — shall be dis missed, removed, suspended, de moted or discharged except for cause and upon written complaint, and after he or she shall have been given a reasonable oppor tunity for an open hearing by said Civil Service Commission in de fense of such charge.” “You will observe that written complaint is the basic require ment in this section of the law to enable the Civil Service Com mission to conduct such hearing as authorized by this law’. Thus, the question arises: “Did the City file or cause to be filed with the Civil Service Commission written complaint in accordance with this section of the law?’’ In my opin ion it did, and met the require ments of this section and placed in the hands of the Civil Service Commission both written charges and W’ritten complaint sufficient for the Commission to proceed to have and conduct the hearing in accordance w’ith the requirements of this law. “TToHpr Hntp of \Tnrrh 9. 1945. at the instructions of the City Council, in meeting assembled on that date, City Manager Nichols addressed a letter to the secretax-y of the Civil Service Commission; and in that letter, among other things, stated that he was for warding the letter to Chief Cas teen with reference to Officer G. C. Looney. Also, that he was for warding the several exhibits and affidavits obtained in this mat ter. Mr. Nichols further advised the Commission that Officer Loon ey was under a thirty day sus pension imposed by Chief of Po lice Department. This letter re quested a review of the facts in this case in the following lan guage, “Your Board is now being requested to review the facts and determine the disposition desired in this situation.” “In addition to the letters and affidavits above referred to, and more particulai'ly hereinafter pointed out, the City Manager pft’o transmitted to the Commission copy of the minutes of the City Council at its meeting of March 9th, respecting this subject. These minutes disclosed that the record was ordered transmitted to the Commission and to the Recorder’s Court for information and consid eration. “In the letter of Chief of Police Casteen, dated March 9th and transmitted to the Commission as above outlined, it appears that Chief Casteen on March 2nd ob tained report from Assistant Chief, J F. Jordan, that Officer Looney was under the influence of intoxi cating drink while on duty the night of February 28, 1945, and that Assistant Chief Jordan was continuing this investigation and would make further report to the Chief when the additional facts were available. This letter also shows that further investigation was made and completed, includ ing an interview with Officer Looney by the Chief and at which interview Officer Looney stated he had taken a couple drinks of whiskey in the afternoon before going to work and that later on in the night he began to feel the effects to some extent of the whis key which he had drunk late in the afternoon. This letter also shows that the Chief suspended Officer Looney for thirty days, sixteen days without pay and four teen days vacation. The Chief as serted in the letter that he in formed Officer Looney that he could appeal his case to the Civil Service Commission if he felt that the punishment was too severe, and that Officer Looney said he was satisfied with the punishment and felt it was fair. This letter was transmitted to the City Mana ger and in turn transmitted to the Civil Service Commission. In the letter the Chief said that he thought the case should be for Wdi Qcu LU Uic V/WnjuiiDpivu xv/*. such action as may be necessary after a review of the evidence. “Exhibit “B” was also trans mitted to the Civil Service Com mission, containing statement by J. F. Jordan, Assistant Chief of Police. This statement shows that Officer Jordan, upon being called to Adams’ Cafe, 524 South Front street, by Ethel MacArthur, went to this cafe and talked to this lady, and she reported to Officer Jordan that Officer Looney came into the cafe on the night of Feb ruary 28th, called for a Coca-Cola and a hot dog; and that Officer Looney was “well under the in fluence of some kind of intoxicat ing drink;” that after he ate the hot dog, Officer Looney began to curse, and put a half-dollar on the counter and she took out six teen cents, and that made him more angry. She asserted that Of ficer Looney then said, “The damn hot-dog isn’t fit to eat anyway, and from now on I will go to the Weinerburger where I can get hot dogs fit to eat.” “This statement of Officer Jor dan further contains statement that he made further investiga tion including interview with Offi cer J. W. Wilson, who was work ing with Officer Looney in a po lice car on the night of February 28th, but that he hated to “squawk” on a fellow officer. Further, Offi cer Jordan’s statement shows that Officer Wilson and Officer Looney went to Powell’s Cafe at 1118 Daw son Street; that Looney got out of the car and went into the cafe; that Officer Wilson saw Looney tussling with a colored man in front of the cafe, this man being Herbert Rhedrick; that the man was brought out to the car and Looney was still in the cafe and was cauea 10 me car uy onicei Wilson. There were several peo ple standing looking on, and Offi cer Looney “pulled his pistol out and cocked it and told the people to “scram—get the hell away from here.” After this occurred. Officer Looney went back to the doorway of the cafe and told the people, "Come on out and get me if you want to”; further, that when Officer Looney got in the car with Officer Wilson and Rhed rick that Officer Looney began to strike the man arrested and he began to holler, “Murder!” “Exhibit "C” submitted to the Civil Service Commission was a signed, written statement by Of ficer J. W. Wilson. Among other things, it shows that this officer, shortly after leaving the City Hall and going on duty, noticed that Officer Looney had been drink ing something intoxicating; that Officer Looney did not immediate ly say anything to him, because working with him he was in doubt as to what he should do. That when they went to Adams’ Cafe, Officer Looney started to talk with Ethel MacArthur and she asked him if he was drunk and Officer Looney asked her how much was the bill for the hot-dog and Coca Cola, ;.nd she told the officer “nothing,” and he then said to her “Damned if that's so. I pay my - -- way,” and he threw fifty cents on the counter. She talked with him a few min utes and told him that Mr. Adams did not charge officers for drinks and sandwiches. Then she said he cursed some more, and in a few minutes got up and went out. “This statement of Officer Wil son also shows that when they went to Powell’s Cafe, 12th and Dawson Streets, Officer Looney went in and in a few minutes Officer Wilson saw him tussling with a negro boy, Herbert Rhed rick; that Officer Wilson left the car and went to the scene and heard Officer Looney, after he walked back to the cafe door, say to the people in the cafe, “Come out and get me,” and then he pulled his gun from the holster and told them again to come out and get him. Officer Wilson’s statement says that when they were on the way to the City Hall, Officer Looney and the arrested negro were in the back seat and that Officer Looney began slap ping and beating the boy. * “Exhibit “D” submitted to the Civil Service Commission by the City is a signed, written state ment by Ethel MacArthur. In this statement she says that at about 9:00 P.M., February 28th, Officers Wilson and Looney both came to Adams’ Barbecue stand and or dered two Coca-Colas and one hot dog. After Officer Looney had re ceived the hot-dog, he asked Ethel MacArthur how much he owed for it and she told him, “nothing,” and that Mr. Adams had said he did not want to make a charle to the officers for a sandwich or a drink. Thereupon, Ethel MacAr thur stated, Officer Looney said “I am going to pay for it.” “God damn it—take this money out—I pay for everything I get.” The statement further says that Offi cer Looney continued to use pro fane language and that the hot dog was not fit to eat and that he would go to the Weinerburger where hot-dogs did not cost him a -cent. Exhibit “E” submitted by the City to the Civil Service Com mission was a written, signed statement by Elise Hickman, which said that Officer Looney came to the Hillcrest Cafe at 12th and Dawson Streets on the night of February 28th, went into the cafe, first looked into the dining rooms, then into the kitchen where he stood a few minutes looking around. At this time, only Herbert Rhedrick was in the main dinning room. He asked for a glass of water and I went to get it for him. Officer Looney walked up to him and said, “You think you are smart”, took him by the arm and started push ing him out of the door and then struck him. Exhibit “G” submitted by the City to the Civil Service Commis sion is a written statement signed T->,1_...n rm at the Hillcrest Cafe. This state ment says that Herbert Rhedrick came to the kitchen door and ask ed for the glass of water and he had to take a pill. Then Officer Looney grabbed him and asked him what he meant by saying he was nervous and had to take pills, and Officer Looney pulled him out into the front of the cafe. Exhibit “H” submitted by the Council to the Civil Service Com mission is a written signed state ment by Lillie Powell, who work ed at the Hillcrest Cafe. This state ment says she was working in the front part of the cafe and she did not know Officer Looney was there until he pulled Herbert Rhedrick out front and hit him. Thereafter, Officer Looney came back to the door of the cafe and wanted to know if anybody there wanted to do anything about it- and to come out and he “pulled and cocked his gun there in the doorway.” Exhibit “I” submitted by the City to the Civi Service Commis sion is a written, signed state ment by Herbert Rhedrick. This statement says that he had been discharged from the Army and was under care of the Veterans’ Ad ministration. On the night of February 8th, he was at the Hill crest Cafe; that while he was go I 1 ' 11 " —i ing toward the back of the cafe to get some water that the officer walked up to him. grabbed him and said, “You are trying to be a wise, smart guy, aren’t you?’’ That then Officer Looney started hit ting him with his hand; that Offi cer .Looney ignored his protests; that Officer Looney hit him three more times and pulled him to the front of the cafe. The officer took him to the police car and said, “Why don't you try to fight me back?”; that Rhedrick asked the driver of the police car not to let Officer Looney hit him like that because he had not done anything. That when Officer Looney reached the jail he made him march in like a soldier, and the officer went up stairs ,to the jailor and said, “He is a smart guy who has been over seas,” and the officer hit him one or two times there at the jail. Exhibit “K” submitted by the City to the Civil Service Commis sion is a signed written statement by Hilda Lucas, who said that Of ficer Looney didn’t make any “out of the way remarks” to her and she didn’t think he had been drinking. “The foregoing, in my opinion, definitely constitute written charges and written complaint fully suffi cient to meet the written complaint requirements of the Civil Service Act and particularly the require ments of Section 9 thereof. This section of the Civil Service Act, in my opinion contemplates that upon the reciept of such written charge that the Commission will give notice to the person charged— and conduct a hearing to deter mine the truth or falsity of such charges. This section of the Act grants to the Civil Service Com mission the right to conduct such hearings and to compel the at City has no official jnf0,m .. from the Civil Serv:c. p bo» sion except letter of from the Commission v hi h , 3ri ommends- that Police Looney be returned to full compensation from ,£■**« of hls suspension.
