did so disregard If, that then they would have
TO deal only with the open and honest
declaration of the defendant himself, and that |

unity of action and intent in the commission |

PENDANT, That it would appear that sus- |
peusion from cffice or the imposition OF a
fine would subserve all the purposes of JUS
tice, The offense for which this otflcer has
been tried and found guilty of Is an every day |
occurrence among the officers OF the police
force of this city. They do not regard the
taking Of money from private individuals as
an infraction CT the law, and Valentine is rot
the only one who has done SO.
The Commissioners stated that If the counsel
90 desired they would reopen the case to al
low him to impeach the character of the pros
ecuting witness, but intimated that they
thought it would not help the defense any.
After consulting with his client for few
moments Mr.. Clarken withdrew his request
and submitted the case without further argu-
ment.
The Commissioners then passed their judg-
ment, which was that officer Valentine be
dismissed from the force. Valentine sur
rendered his star to Chief Karcher, and the
Board adjourned.
A BREAK FOR L1BERTY.-While the chain

brush. With cohble stone he soon freed
himself of his shackles, and made bee-liHe
for Marysville. Henry Garrett soon discov-
cred that Anderson had given them the slip
started in pursuit, and was soon on his track.

bridge. At the dollhouse the Deputy Sheriff
disguised himself rs woman, procured
buggy and followed the fugitive quite lively.

looked back over his shoulder, and observing

prissd, however, when the old lady came
along side Of him, presented a cooked pistol,
and ordered "hands up" He gave in grace
fully, got into the buggy and rode back to his
