Chief Clerk Avery Finally Dis.
missed.

y WASHINGTON, July 2G.-Sccrctary
Bristow hastat last acknowledged the
receipt Of information concerning
Avery's Indictment, for the fact has
been positively known to the pub
lie through the statements of Secre
tary Bristow's subordinatcs for more
than week, and to-day requested
Avcry's resignation as chief clerk of
the treasury department.. The re-
quest was Immediately complied
with, aHd-.Apery retired rnnl-thc
Office at the close Of business hours.
There are two indictments against
him, one for receiving bribes and the
other for conspiracy to defraud the
government, withjlNlcDonald, cx su-
Joyce, cx-rcvcnue agent. The in
dictments are in the hands OF United
States Marshal Sharp. and Avery will
be taken before United States Com
missioner tomorrow to. give bonds
for his appearance at the United
States court inst. Louis. The fact
that the secretary requested the res
ignationeof Avery instead of sus.
pending or discharging him is vari-
ously commented upon. Some say
Avery was treated with more respect
than under the circumstance he de-
served. Others say that from the fact
that he requested his, resignation it
can be implied that Secretary Bris.
tow expressed belief in his guilt,
whereas, If Avery had been suspend
ed, it would have implied Il doubt,
aud he would have had an opportuni-
ty Of clearing hit.scll and recovering
his position in the department. But
Others say that according to precedent
he should have been summarily dis.
missed. The fact Of Avcry's indict.
ment after SO much has been said in
his defense by treasury officials and
newspaper correspondents who arc
known to be in the confidence Of Sec.
retary Bristow, shows that McGruc's
evidence must have been better
thought Of by the grand jury than
Avery and his friends would have the
public believe, and their kilograms
abusing McGrue did not have the in
tended effect. Avery's successor as
chief clerk has not yet been dctcrmin
ed upon, but it is reported that Town
er, chief clerk Of the warrant divis
ion, will be promoted TO the posi-
ton.
