Krengel asked to be excused from discussing his case at this time. Krengel was accidentally shot in the right arm on July 20, 1864, and since that time he has been on and off duty for considerable periods, as his condition warranted. At one time he had apparently regained the full use of his arm, and then it began to weaken, and steadily grew worse until he was forced to ask to be relieved of active work.

In the meantime, Krengel was shot by a brother officer. Detective Sergeant Wily. With Detective Sergeant Kellam, the two officers were raiding a house in which several persons were caught using opium. Among other things in the place was found a fine revolver of large caliber. After he had examined it, Krengel handed the weapon to Wily, and it was discharged, the bullet passing through the former's arm, shattering a nerve.

Since that time Krengel has been much in the limelight, he was a conspicuous figure in the investigation of the Police Department, the outgrowth of the labors of the Vice Commission, whose members have now been disqualified. In his present condition, it is evident that Krengel is still unable to perform an officer's vigorous duties, he may be continued on furlough. If he is retired, he will receive a pension of $50 a month from the Police Benevolent Association, unless the Council should see fit to continue him on the pay.  Roll of the Police Department at his present salary, which is about $101 a month.
