THE TRIAL OF MAJOR ORCHARDS.

Trial Of Richards and the Three Detectives.
Postponed Until the Legality Of the Board
Is Determined A New Member From
Georgetown.
The trial of Chief OF Police Richards and
the three detectives set for last night and at
the appointed hour, halt.past seven, q number Of
reporters and others, including the accused Of
fcials, appeared at police headquarters and made
their way to the board room. Messrs. Gatchell

On that evening Major Richards represented that
his counsel was not present, and as the witnesses
for the prosecution were absent the trial was
necessary by the peculiar circumstances in which
the board was placed. 1t was claimed that the
nG nU Until 70
into the trial. bill had been passed by both
Houses OF Congress to abolish the board, and Its
status was uncertain. The board was threatened
at the outset with some very serious questions,
among them the question Of their power TO compel
the attendance Of witnesses. They did not propose
to subject themselves to private yexation until
these questions were settled, or while the sword
Of Damocles was hanging over them. The ac-
tion OF the Senate In sustaining the Presidents
veto, had removed one difficulty, but the ques.
tion OF the legality OF the oard was not yet de-
termined.
Mr. Britton then submitted the following mo.
tion In writing:
Moved, That the investigation Of the charges
before the board be postponed until the legality
Of the organization OF the board be determined,
or until its organization be legally perfected and
that thereafter the board shall be called together
and proceed with such. estigaton, at a time to
he naed by notice, signed by the president, and
10 be served upon all parties under charges.
Attorney Riddle said that he would be very re.
luctant to proceed while there was any question
unsettled, and he suggested that the board take
week for the consideration Of this point.
The motion made by Mr. Britton was put and
carried.
The board went into executive session then for
the consideration Of a number Of bills.
THE MEMBER FROM GEORGETOWN.
One Of the questions affecting the legality OF
the board was that 1t contained no member irOm

OUR POLICE FORCE.
EFFECT OF THE sENATEs ACTION IN
SUSTAINING THE PRESIDENTS VETO.

Gamblers and Other had Characters Deeply
Interested in Saving Richards and their
Police "Pals" from Dismissal.
The action of the Senate in sustaining the
Presidents veto Of the bill to abolish the Police
Board, has been daily expected, and created
very little surprise. The officials at head
quarters, whom the action directly concerns,
have for q few days past, been undecided
whether they wanted the veto sustained or
ignored. They have been led to believe that
the new police board was as willing to over
look their misdoings as the old board, aud
that their best chance would be to have the
board retained. Still, there was considerable
opposition to the veto brought to bear by the
detectives and gamblers. 1t is expected that
as their status is now determined, the new
board can have no excuse for DELAYING the
trial OF the officers any longer. The chief of
police and the three detectives have lost the
hope that the abolition of the Board might
result In q nolle. pros. in their cases.
GAMBLERS AND wANToNs MADB BOLD.
Since the restoration of these four officers
games have been In operation although not as
openly as before at the "Club" and In other
gambling hells.
One OF the effects of Richards suspension
was the prudent steps taken by
women keeping houses Of q bad char
actcr. AS soon as ne went out oil Ofce
they expected that raids would be made upo
them and they become very cautious. One
notorious wanton, proprietress Of q bagnio,
took the precaution of removing the women
who lived with her to house in another part
OF the city, in order to avoid the inconveni-
ences attendant upon raid. As soon as the
model chief Of Richards was reinstated she
resumed her former style of living, and re-
opened her house In the heart of the city.
The gamblers and the wantons have no fear
or respect for Richards and his detectives, and
when they were reinstated, q premium was
placed upon immortality and crime.
Now that the status of the Board Is fixed
beyond dispute It is expected Of them to
prosecute the trial of Richards aud the de ect-
ives Miller, McElfresh, and McDsvitt,
promptly and vigorously, and to carry out the
purposes for which they were appointed by
the President, by inaugurating q police ad-
ministration which shall show no favors to
gamblers or wantoDs.
