By DONNA MIKELS i A veteran officer grown

today took the first blot on

this 38-year-old record “like a good cop.” A police board responsible to new Republican Mayor Alex Clark said last night it found at (worst an “error in judgment” on the part of Jack O'Neal, acting chief during the last six months of the Democratic gdministration. But it meted out a six-day token |suspension, encompassing the period that the veteran officer was suspended prior to being given a hearing. ‘You Can’t Fight 'Em | Legal sources said former Chief | O'Neal has “good grounds” €or! appeal.

| A police board of captains heard “misconduct” charges yesterday against Lt. O'Neal and former Capt. Carl Schmidt. The start of the hearing was the first! time the two men knew on what specific charge their suspension was based. | The actual incident from which the hearing stemmed was their handling of the alleged burglary activities of Policeman Robert! Liese. The initial charge was that Chief O’Neal “played politics” by| delaying action in the investiga-| tion. However, all evidence in the! hearing indicated that from the
