that, when informed that the Alton v
General of the State instructed the jury
in the case Of Captain OoSorne. a.
t0ppOrtun1Ly would DO affidued him to
hold some one directly responsive or
the killing and make an example.
The coroner and the Attorney. Gensral
had the sworn testimony before JueA,
and if Captain Osborne was killed "
the engine running at a greater rate "k
speed than six III lies an hour it WAS
their sworn duty, under the law, to
proceed against the engineer or theRs l.
road Company. But nothing was done
except to hold the Mayor indirectly re-
lsponsible for the accidental killing, If
accidental it was. Now, az it is npos-
sible with the present limited police
force, with due regard to tie other in
'erests of the city, to patrol the railroads
and time and control the speed of trains
looming into and passing through the
city, respectfully recommend a large
irci ease of the police force of at least
hirty additional men for day and night
service. With this number | would
feel com mpetent and responsible tor fully
carrying out all ordinances, incluiing
the one regulating the speed of trains (;
otherwise it would be inpracticabie TO
, , prevent occasional violations OF this AZ
well as Of other ordinances"

muuication of the Mayor. Two muI-
ders have been committed Within

) hle for them. Something should be
q done to stop this sacrifice of life. even
If it becomes necessary to fence Ihs
