Two police officers were reinstated to their jobs by the Spokane Civil Service Commission, The Spokesman-Review reported on May 25, 1916. They had been suspended by the Spokane mayor after they failed to prevent a bandit from holding up a streetcar and taking two men hostage. The officers argued that they didn’t intervene with more force out of fear of harming the hostages.
