Salisbury, Aug. 14—Mayor C.M. Henderlite has made another cut into the ranks of the local police force by suspending J.G. (Pat) Reeves, an officer which the mayor says testified in a case that he had a search warrant when, according to the mayor, he did not have one. The officer says he was acting in good faith and that he thought a warrant bearing a previous date was all right for the purposes for which he was using it. At the time, Reeves was accompanying Reid Monroe, an officer who had been suspended by the major and put back by the aldermen, and the mayor had instructed that other officers should not work with Monroe and that he would not sign vouchers for Monroe’s pay. In this case Monroe’s testimony differed from Reeves’.
