Officer Gilbert Cleared by Police Board After Trial
Officer Gilbert was exonerated by the police commissioners after a more than three hour trial on charges of conduct unbecoming an officer. The board announced the decision, with Deputy City Attorneys Elderkin and Juttner presenting for Gilbert and Judge Grimes respectively. Witnesses included Judge Grimes, Chief Murphy, Jailers Lavelle and Murphy, and Patrol Driver Coughlin. Gilbert and his wife also testified. The case centered on destruction of liquor in two incidents, including a barrel of moonshine, with evidence noting a 24 hour window and possible tampering. The board found the charges not proven and Gilbert exonerated.
