theless Patrolman Settem Discharged
At one o'clock yesterday afternoon
tht police commission held a sjteeial
Bieetiiig to act " respect to the mat
tor of the resignation of Chief Hallock
and Patrolman Settem. 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

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

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.
