It was explained to Mr. Dannenberg that the information he desired could not be obtained from the reports in question, because they do not include the complaints which came to the Marshal's Office from the respective districts, and referred by the Marshal to the Detective Office. Mr. Dannanberg was told, however, that he might, if he so desired, inspect the record books of the Department relating to the work of the detective office, as well as the book in which donations to Detectives, etc., are recorded.
The Board told Mr. Dannenberg, however, that if he or his paper had any specific information as to any discrimination on the part of the Captain of Detectives against any of his men the Board would be glad if that information were, given to it in order that the Board itself might make an investigation into the matter. Mr. Dannenberg assured the Board that neither he nor his paper had any information beyond a rumor.
