A MOvEMENT AGAINST COMMISSIONER
GATCHEL--A petition asking the President to
remove Theodore /. Gatchel from the position
CT commissioner of police is in circulation and
is being signed. The petition represents that
the board of police commissioners should be
so constituted as TO command the support and
confidence Of the citizens Of this District. Its
jurisdiction pertains exclusively to our own
home affairs. and no commissioner can prop
erly perform duty who is generally obnoxious
to this community. 1t is further represented
that Commissioner Theodore F. Gatchel not
only fails TO command the confidence of the
business community, but is wholly objection
able to them. His lack OF business qualfica-
lions: his insincerity, his want of discretion,
his f0DdneSS for such execution of law as will
invite publicity; his tendency to Use his office
Tor MS personal ends, &c., are stated as valid
objections. The petition closes by asking the
President Ito remove Mr.. Gatchel in the in
terest of good morals and a regular enforce
ment OF the laws and appoint i'll his place
some citizen who will command public conf
dence.
The petition will be submitted to the PreSi-
dent on "Wednesday by a committee of citi-
Zens, and accompaniment will be statements
to the effect that Mr.. Gatchel has used his pO-
sitiOn as Commissioner to benefit his insur-
ance business, and also statement from Cap
tam K. w; Tyler. setting forth that Mr.. Catch
el, through his partner Mr.. Frank Smith, at
tempted to obtain the captains insurance bus
mess for influencing his the captain'S) cleo
and that the captain, becoming suspicious of
his motive, declined his business propositions,
and in consequence OF his declining, Mr..
Gatchel opposed his election to the superin-
tendency.

j. ii. Cook being present the jury returned
the verdict, guilty as indicted
On motion OF defendants counsel, the jurors
were poiled, and each in a clear and distinct
ing these proceedings remained seated with a
very serious look. Evidently from the first he

defendants fnr n
new trial, and stated that they would file rea-
sons supported by affidavit within the required
time3fo4r days: Sentence was therefore de
ferred. Exceptions were also taken during
the trial. on which it is probable the case will
