THAT is one of the secrets of our profess

THE INVESTIGATION.
A Few Facts and Thoughts ReIa-

After one day of rest, which has doubt

police commissioners, the court Of inquiry

in sitting the charges of corruption and Off
cial rottenness brought against members of
the police department. 1t will meet in
secret session, however. and the inquisitive
reporter will find it deal harder to get in
side than-well. harder than it is for the
court to go through the eye of a needle.
By what means or methods the conclusions
are to be reached to-day is matter which
must be held inyiolate from the crude pub
lie gaze. But why? The Jealous public
has read the testimony, and the Jealous
public can Judge.
The day is to be spent in framing YER
