At their pre vious meeting, the' board requested the j resignation of the-e men to take ef fect on March Fir,t. and at that time instructed the clerk t communicate with Chief Hallock and Patrolman Set tem, and ask them to tender their resig notions within five days fro rathe re ceipt of the notice. The order of the commission was complied with by the rierk, but Chief Hallock aud Mj. Set tem refused to pay any attention to the order, further than to send in a de mand that a hearing be granted them to disprove all charges lodged against them At the meeting of the commission yes terday these communication were read and also there was a petition, signed by a large number of persona requesting the, retention of Patrolman Settem a ne of the force. After dicuVing the rase of Chief Hallock, the eommision adopted a r-solutkn removing him from office at once. In the opinion of the commission the conduct of the Chief while on duty was unbecoming an of ficer and it wan therefore deemed best to remove him. The commission direct ed that Captain Cammal be placed in charge of the police force until uch time as another chief i appointed. Re garding he ea-4? of Fatrtdnuiu Settem the tommission ordered that he be at once removed from ottice. The board made no charge against him. but gave as a reason that it was nei-esary to out down the force lor the purpoe of economy. Former Chi.-f Hallock. stat ed ye-teiday that he had received the order of the coinmL ion notifying him his dischaige. "I have nothing to I therefore take this opportunity to file my answer to the charges preferred anil ask for an Immediate investigation. I deny the first allegation that 1 have Wen frequently ' addicted to gambling in public places or saloon, while on duty, or that I have ever gambled, either in saloon or any other place. 1 deny that 1 have been in the habit of drinking intoxicating liquors to ex cess, and I have never been seen or been in an intoxicated condition while Chief of Police of this city. 1 admit that I have frequented saloons, but it has only been in my official capacity and to as certain facts that might lend to the arrest of person suspected of a crime, and no police officer can successfully fer ret out crime without visiting saloons, as those are the place where criminals are to he found in most instances. It is the duty of the Chief of Police to visit the "mort disreputable quarters of the citv" in search of criminals and when- f " " -" ... THE DETHRONED CHIEF. ever I have visited these places it has been for this purpose and no other. I denv that I have ever been found sleeping in chairs in saloons, with the possible exception when I have been sick and felt it my duty to be up, al though many times I should have been in bed, and my duty ha frequently called me to be on duty night and day, and any officer would become worn out by constant duty, but I have never neg lected my duty. I have given ten years of the liest part of my life to the interests of the city and believe my record will compare favorably with that of any other of-lici-r of the city or county. I have always carefully and honetly accounted for every dollar collected by me as Chief of Police and no one can acciiie ine of misappropriating any funds of the citv, as the frequent investiga tion of my iMtoks, made by order of the Common Council will show. I have always endeavoured to di charge the duties of the ollice to the ay in reject to their action." said he. !
