Thirteenth street OAKLAND November ULUTbere i Uttle likelihood that criminal complaints will be ilssued against the members of the Police Department who aire charged with pilfering from merchants while oh duty The evidence against the men Is of such a nature that while it iwa sufficient to force their resignations and to warrant thr Police Commissioners In or daring their summary dismissal from the department It Is not in the opinion qf Prosecuting Attorney Leach of character that can be successfully introduced before a criminal sort Such evidence as was gathered against Sergeant Clark Patrolmen Andrews Stsnl and Hamerton has been turned over to the prosecuting attorney but be has practically nOtl Bed the Police Commission and Chief Hodgklns that unless further evidence can bt secured that it would be use less to issue the complaints It would appear that the evidence which was secured against the men was not in a ejr Se complete but It was sufficient to wring confessions as to misdoings from sail and that Awoof the accused men dld reduce their statements to writing and signed them These statements or confessions were secured from the hieri and their resignations written with the expectation that they would be accepted and that the scandal which has since broken out would be averted This in Itself 4s sufficient to prevent the con eFiort being used In a criminal prose ration 2 From1 unofficial statements given out It would appear that the down fall of the accused men came when oneof their number went off his own beau ana in tne parlance or ine police began mooching This was re sehtedby the patrolman He reported the matter toChlef Hodgklns and ah investigation followed The lnvestlga tiori was In a wayhandlcapped owing to theuextreme difficulty encountered In shadowing the men whoi were suspectedsuspected After various officials had undertaken thejtaskj sufficient evidence was gathered to force the confessions and resignations but according to the prosecuting attorney not enough to warrant criminal prosecution The Commission has dealt out the irnaxlmum punishment within its powerpower as a commission but the individual members are anxious that the criminal prosecution should be Instituted If the facts and the evidence at hand will warrant and to that end thecases will not be finally disposed of for several days during which time a number of persons are exerting themselves to se cjire Jthe mUch desired evidence Prosecuting Attorney Leach In discussing the case to day said I am ready to prosecute any or all ofthe accused policemen against Whom sufficient evidence can be secured to warrant the issuance of ta complaint i Regarding these eases however there are several peculiar conditions which make prosecution practically Impossible with the evidence now before me These men were policemen iand as such had thd confidence of the people and their presence in or about stores at any time of day or night would nbti and apparently aid not attract the attention of any one and on this account the uepartment lacks evidence as to the peculations outside Tthe statements made by the accused mn7 In themselves the statements or tconfesslons are hot sufficient to warrant the issuance of complaints nor would they bring about a convlc tIoft it the complaints were Issued The statements which were made by theserrrien with reference to their 111 doingsi were obtained from them by the LCbief sdurlng his Investigations as to their conduct as police officers nd with a view to ridding the departr lnht of them Jh Tease their admissions vwduld warrant It At that time crlml 1 nal prosecution was hot contemplated cohsequently Inducements were of ifered td the then for the purpose of ascertaining the truth which makes the statements inadmissible as evl idericelh a criminal prosecution Former Patrolman Hamerton the Vohly one of the accused quartet now In the city called on Chief of Police Hodgklns this morning and expressed regret that he had tendered his resignation which bi claimed he did In order to escape ah investigation for minor violations of police rules He denies that he is guilty of theft or that he took any part in
