That GILMAN has fairly earned his pun

profcsscd his willingness to do pcnancc as a
fclon for his great crimes.
That confession shows him To- ho very
weak man. the sort Of person who is no
more to be trusted in places OF nduciary re-
sponslbility than II thief in Il silver closet
Such moral fcehlcness ms his amounts t.

But something must also he alleged against
the careless methods of doing business
which SO long made possible GlLMAN's
rudcly executed forgcrics.
The excuses for his crimes or rather the
explanation Of them, he gives. nrc not un-

used for his own purposes trust accounts,
lost money, kept getting deeper and deeper
in pccuniary difficulties, aud finding the
forging Of scrip easy, r"soltcd To 1t about
two years ago, and kept it up pcrsistcntly in
the hope Of saving himself from detection.
This is the old story crime repeated 10 con-

There Is no need to preach sermon on

there was 27S births-whitc iGi; colorcd. 1f7
The mortality Of the District of Columbia for

The Police Board have disposed Of tho
charges against Scrgcants Leach and Dunning-
TON. Sergeant Leach was charged with acting
III = manner unbeconing an officer on the oc-
cnsion of the arrest or George Mantz when
Oiticcr Dunnigan wRs knocked down and
Mantx was permitted to walk TO the station
with his stick. while Dunngan was forced to
Walk in the rear In u mnst humiliating po-
SitiOn to the station house The report of the
| committee, which was adopted, recommended
, That Sergeant Leach be reprimandcd by the
MAJOR In the usual way, and that he bo trans
irrrcd TO some other precinct. Officer Dunni-
gan stated that ho preferred TO be detailed to
some other prcciuct, because, If left to perform
duty upon tho ame beat, aud with such judg-
inrnt exercised by his Sergeant in favor of q
PRISONER against the officer, he might easily be
Killed upon the street, aud no police officer
would be able to give him assistance.
Tho committee recommended that Dunni-
gan's request be granted, but that he he not
transferred to the same precinct as Leach.
There were two other officers present at
the time Of the Mants difficulty, aud they
were Otliccn Duvall and Moores During the
Investigation Of Sergeant Leach some crcum-
sanccs not favorable to these officers came out
Mantz testified that Moorcs ran into the door
way OF ncighboring restaurant and that
Duvall ran away down the street In an op.
posite direction.
The committees report says that when
Dnnngan was knocked down Officers Mourcs
and Duvall appear to have been in closc prox.
unity to thcn. Precisely where they went to
Is not clear. IL Is very certain, in the opinion
OF the cominittce, that Duvall rendered no
assistance 10 his brother officers; was utterly
inefficient and intimidated. even IL he did
not show actual cowardicc. No trace Of
Officer Moores can be found In the nilrny after
1t commenced. From the testimony the com
mitiee Is convinced that Officer Moores was
guilty Of papabc cowardice. and did not ut
tempt to support his brother officers. They
recommend that under proper charges an in
vcstig,tion be instituted into the official con-
duct Of both Moores and Duvall. The two
officers will be tried on the charge Of COW.
ardice.
In the case ofSergeant Dunnington, charged
with brutally beating II prisoner under arrest
with his baton. the committee recommended
that Huntington bo cmphatically cautioned
hy the superintendent against further i'm.
proper use of his baton.
