When William J. Van Home was mayor of Schenectady, there was one policeman of whom he was not certain. He wished to ascertain from personal knowledge, derived from experiment, just what this policeman, whose name was Wemple, would do, when a prisoner put up a fight. In imitation of that other wise man, of the East, Haroun Al Raschid, Mayor Van Home disguised himself as a tough character, and, when he saw Wemple approaching, began to cut up "didoes" on the sidewalk near Van Home hall. Officer Wemple remonstrated and ordered the amateur tough to move on. Instead of desisting and moving, the tough "sassed" the officer, and when Wemple took hold of the tough, he resisted; whereupon Wemple knocked him down, hammered him into submission and started for the station house with him. Mayor Van home was satisfied that Officer Wemple was all right; so he declared himself to Wemple. This irritated Wemple who hustled the Mayor along all the faster, while the Mayor continued to protest; "It's all right, I tell you. I'm the mayor, I'm Billy Van Home. Let go, I tell you." He was taken to the station house and it was not till his disguise was removed, that his protestations of being "Billy Van Home, the mayor," were found to be fact.
