COMMUNICATIONS.
From His Honor the Mayor-Dismissal-
To the Honorable the President and Com
mon Council of the City of st. Paul:
transmit herewith charges by the Cap
tain and Chief of Police against Policeman
Torrance w. OGorman. Believing the
charges to be true, have dismissed him
from Office, subject to your approval.
His general reputation is bad, SO much
so that it brings disrepute upon the police
force. Very many most worthy and re-
spectacle citizens, while declining to make
and sustain by proof, direct charges against
him) have informed me that he was intern
perate in the use Of intoxicating liquors,
grossly immoral and extremely cruel to
his wife.
This information, coupled with my own
personal Knowledge and the charges of his
superior officers, induce me to dismiss him
without formal trial, convinced as 1
ana, that it would involve a useless con-
sumption Of time.
To be certain, however, that no injustice
be done to the officer, herewith transmit,
at his request, petition of a large num-
Der Of citizens for "a just and full consid
Grafton of the charges preferred against
him. in which also they declare their full
est confidence in his integrity as public
officer.
