West Favors Dismissal Of Police Hile For Prisoner Escape
Wilton J Lambert seeks a hearing on the penalty for Policeman Joseph F. Hile who allowed William P. Burge to escape from the Homeopathic Hospital while under arrest for his wife’s murder. Commissioner West backs dismissal, criticizing the $25 fine as inadequate and noting the officer’s duty to guard a prisoner. The police trial board cited shared responsibility for security but commended Hile’s efforts to recapture Burge.
