In 1857, the two retrograde police of the city fought the right to accept transplants from those who could arrest people and be willing to pay, was a chaotic era in New York City.
In 1853, under the mayor of Herpan, the first uniform uniform in New York City was founded. Their uniform consists of a brass button, a blue hat and a gray pant and a blue coat. The police headed by police chief George G. Matzel was generally crooked more than the criminal, arresting people by taking bribes, arresting people by taking bribes. New Yorkers cited the police called the municipal police "worst in the world".
Fernando Wood was a millionaire of real estate business at the age of 37. On January 1, 1855, I got riches and bought a vote, and Wood became mayor of New York. Wood immediately inserted himself as the head of the police graft Gravie train and charged the new police captain a $ 200 for a promotion to $ 1000 a year work. Of course, to compensate for the shortfall, the captain of the police received 40 dollars a year from each patrol official under each commander. Police officers looked down on honest citizens and kept innocent citizens, so that any public law enforcement agency could keep things as it was.
The New York State Legislature will not have this at all. In 1857 they established the law to create a new capital police force and Mr. Fredrik Talmage was appointed military supervisor. He ordered Wood to immediately disband 1100 municipal police stations. Mr. Wood refused, saying the creation of a new police force is unconstitutional. Thus the battle of the court where the police patrol New York City began. The Supreme Court immediately voted that the creation of a new police was truly constitutional. However, Wood received assistance from the police chief of Mr. Mazel, declined cooperation firmly. 800 men alongside the Democratic Party were staying in Wood and Matzel. But 300 men under the captain George W. Waring lost to the new capital police backed by the Republican Party and followed them.
On June 16, 1857, the problem came into my mind. Street commissioner Joseph Taylor died and Wood appointed Charles Debrin as the new street commissioner for a total of 50,000 dollars. On that same day, the governor of John A. King Republic appointed Daniel Conover to the same position. When Conover joined City Hall to serve a new position, Wood put his City Police throw Conover out of the building. Conover immediately went to a Republican judge who swore two warrants for the arrest of Wood. One is for assault, the other is incitement for riots. Captain Walling exploded to arrest Wood with the mayor for assault on the mayor, but he met 500 people casually. He was allowed to enter the building and tree office. But when Captain Warring was arrested on charges of violating Wood, Wood did not acknowledge the legality of the arrest warrant.
Captain Walling grabbed Wood's arm and pulled out of the building, but soon it was attacked by 20 municipalities and was abandoned from the city hall. Captain Walling tried to back up the stairs of the city hall over and over, but he was beaten each time.
Suddenly, 100 policemen who wore a new uniform of Frocky Court and Plug Hat arrived to take Wood's second arrest warrant. Instead of wearing the Municipals gold badge, Mets produces the word "copper" and creates the word "policeman". According to the essayist's GT Strong, the capital police are written as "diversified assortment of sucker, soap rock, Irish man, plug aggris (Irish street gang)".
Thus a terrible 30 hour battle began between the two New York City police departments. Mets surpassed the number of citizens greatly and was fortunate enough to partly escape the part of the Met unleashed when the battle was over. Nevertheless 53 Mets were injured, 12 were seriously injured, 1 person was a man who was disabled in life.
While battle is intensifying, Captain Waring rushed Sheriff JJV Westerwelt's office and appealed Shaif to arrest Mayor Wood. After consulting with the Legislative Lawyers, Captain Walling, Westerwerd Veliet and a state lawyer marched to the city hall and entered Wood's office. When three men told that Wood was truly arrested, he shouted to them "You will never arrest me."
At the same time, Metz 's beating contingency found a national guard' s seventh regiment on a boat in Boston. Mets convinced the National Guard that it is necessary to police the national problem. Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, Admiral Charles Sandford marched his man to the city hall. When his soldier served as a security guard, Sandford went to the city office's walk and Wood's office and announced Wood was arrested. Wood saw the window and found a national guard. Knowing that his man did not match the military, Wood finally handed it to the arrest.
But this was just the beginning of a long struggle. During the rest of the summer, the two police have always collided. When a police officer arrested the criminal, municipalities stepped in and released men. And vice versa. On numerous occasions, the coincidence of police officers will attack other station buildings and release all prisoners. Meanwhile, the criminals in New York City had a really wonderful time. The two police fought each other between day and night, but honest citizens were robbed while walking down the street. The murder was innocent. And still, the two police were interested in fighting each other.
The apathy of these two New York City police departments led to a two-day riot that Bowery Boys and Dead Rabbit Street Gang terminated with fists, knives, stones, handguns on July 4th and 5th 1857 . There were as many as 1,000 gang members involved. Several hundred people were injured and several gang members died. The riot also led to indiscriminate looting of the store, five points and Bowery District, and north end of 14th Street.
Finally, in the fall of 1857, the Court of Appeal supported the Supreme Court ruling that the capital police was the only legitimate police officer in the town. The mayor was dissolved and Mayor Wood was arrested, but he was dismissed with bonds and never tried.
Mets injured in the June 16 battle sued Wood Mayor for personal damages. They were awarded 250 dollars by the court, but Mayor Wood refused to pay a fortune. Finally, New York City was forced to pay damages from the city's Treasury including the injured Mets & # 39. Litigation costs.
Wood was defeated at Mayor Race in 1858 by Daniel F. Thiemann. However, in 1862, rotten wood was re - elected mayor of New York City until 1862. After the civic district began, Wood floated the trail balloon, New York City left New York State Became a Republican Party and a free city. Wood's proposal was shot down and Horace Greeley of New York Tribune told editor "Fernando Wood obviously wants to become a traitor.
In 1867, Wood found his true calling in the US House of Representatives until he died on 14 February 1881.
A year later, politician / writer John Bigelow, familiar with Wood, said Wood was "the most dirty person sitting in the mayor and chairman (New York City)."
