Especial Dispatch to the Enquirer.l
WASHINGTON, d. c.. November 25, 1889
ONE, TWO, THRER-BoUNCE!
The President late this afternoon or.
dered the dismissal of Charles E. Henry
of Ohio, United States Marshall for the
District of Columbia; d. B. Anger
Postmaster Of this city, and his assistant,
NJ. NJ. Parker: Ex-senator George E.
Spencer. United States Railroad Com.
missioner; and NJ. ID. Helm, foreman OF
the Congressional Record, who, in a
fiduciary capacity, holds the stock OF
General Brady in the Critic Newspaper
Publishing Company. All have been re.
moved because of the belief that they
have aided those indicted in the Star
Route conspiracy. The President, in
these removals, acted upon a report sub
mitted to him by Attorney General
Brewster. United States Marshal Henry,
who was close friend of President Gar
field, and who was appointed by him
United States Marshal, was removed up
on the following report by the Attorney
General:
"The Marshal Of the District is respon-
sible for much of the opposing sentiment
to the case of the Government that
was exhibited in Court and out of
Court during the trial of the Star Route
case. His negligent and irregular con-
duct in selecting talesmen strictly OBJ
lected to at the time, and SO informed
him. The public interview that he was
guilty of, and referred to by Colonel
Bliss, is one that must subject him to
the severest censure. As an officer of
the Court and an officer of the Govern
ment, he was guilty in this of an offense
which has been punished by Courts as a
gross act of contempt. recommend his
immediate removal. He is an unsuitable
person, and has injuriously interfered
with the proper conduct of this Star
Route case, and given his personal sym.
pathy and the sympathy of his Office to
the indicted defendants
70, d. B. Ainger, the Postmaster Of
this city, and his Assistant, Myron W..
Parker, are justly subject to all the
charges presented by Mr.. Bliss, and I
think they should be removed. No men
holding public appointment should be
permitted to use the influence and power
of their positions as they have used
theirs, or be permitted to interfere with
such prosecutions, or any prosecution
urged by the Government in vindication
Of the law"
