February 5th., 1903.
To The Honorable,
The Board of Police Commissioners. Gentlemen:-
In connection with the attached complaint of Mr. F.P.R.Bohager, #227 Concord street, I had before me, and interviewed, Officers Joseph J. Smyth, Division B., and Harry F. Buckley, Division C, whose statements I beg, respectfully, to submit herewith.
Prom the statements of these officers it appears that the doors in question were tried three times, twice by Officer Smyth and once by Officer Buckley between 7 P.M., January 29th., and 4.45 A.M., January 30,1903.
It appears to me that the officers are not derelict in their duties, taking into consideration the extra territory added to their posts at the time this robbery is supposed to have been committed, and I would therefore respectfully recommend that the complaint be filed. Very respectfully,
THOMAS P. PARNAN, Marshal."
