Fine of $10 and Pen alty of Suspension A street sensation that caused no little talk and excitement, was an en counter yesterday between -Officers Max Torrence and Luther Parker. In order that the, merits of the difficulty might be put properly before the peo ple, reference to the matter was de ferred until a hearing was given the men.,. -1::-.' : u . The briefest statement of the case is this: . : , Sunday, Mr. Torrence arrested a Greensboro man and. locked him up. The prisoner gave the officer money to telephone to Greensboro for a bonds man. This was done, but" there was no answer to the message for some time and. Mr. Parker received it. This message was to the effect that a Greensboro man would deposit with a city officer, money for the release of the prisoner. Upon this assurance, Mr. Parker,; loosed the defendant. Of ficer Torrence reprimanded his fellow officer for loose business dealing and a quarrel took place ending in a slight fisticuff, which amounted to very lit tle." " : ' ' ' Smarting still under the affair, Of ficer Parker renewed the quarrel later and asked Mr. Torrence to settle it with him after he retired from duty this morning. This was agree 3 upon and Officer Parker applied an uncivil epithet, which was resented with a blow. The second encounter was cut short by the interposition of friends and ho considerable damage was done. A hearing was- given the officers yesterday .afternoon- in the Mayor's court ahd the men were fined $10 each.rUpon" this'ayor Boyden im posed penalty in the shape of suspen pension for 30 days as to Mr. Parker, and an indefinite period as to Mr Torrence. . v The affair was regrettable through out- Both officers are popular, every body likes them, and their encounter is a theme more for sorrow than for jesting. y " ' A word here personal to the re porter. He has been asked, begged to have nothing to say of the sensa tion. A moment's reflection will cause any reasonable person to see the cow- arrlicfi and the iniustice of such a course. The province of a -newspaper s' 2k.-- i ia uui. Liie uuusLxiis ui . uor iuc roasting of an enemy. It is simply that of telling what happens. A poor nig ger orva sorry white man, seldom finds reportorial or judicial clemency. These because of the hardness of their hearts may oft times deserve it, they don't receive it. And it is entirely too much to ask, that those 'who know best the law and are appointed to maintain its majesty, should be left unnoticed when they openly transgress it.
