ing attempted to bribe him on four diff.

To The Hon. City Council
GENTLEMEN:-I have the honor to
tender my resignation as Chief of Police
and ask your immediate acceptance of
the same.
My reasons are that am upiustly &C.
cused or blamed for an act of mine
which was done without any wilful or
malicious motive, and solely to benefit
another person; but circumstances are
such that | am without witnesses to
demonstrate the truth of my assertion,

though perfectly conscious in my own
mind, that am innocent of any wrong,
illegal or improper act, were the whole

Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-12-09
Very respectfully,
Your ob'dt servant,

The resignation was almost immdi-
ately accepted, but several members
afterwards moved to reconsider the
vote, accepting it, on the ground that in
the face of the charges brought against
the Chief, it would be more proper to
investigate them and act upon the re.
suit, which would be reached by the
special Committee. Mr.. Frankenfe'd
thought that an investigation would
amount to nothing, as the Council has
the power only to dismiss the Chief in
the event of his guilt being proved.
The motion to reconsider was lost by six
to six. there being no majority, Captain
Keller was suggested as acting Chief.of.
Police, but Mr.. Jones thought that he
was too intimately connected with the
charges as witness to make it desirable
that he should take charge. The Coun-
Gil, however, decided otherwise, and
Keller was instructed to perform the
duties of Chief of Police until the
appointment of new Chief at the next
Council meeting,

TRAGEDY AT HOT SPRINGS.
4 Hotel Clerk Kills Lady Guest and At.
tempts to Take His Own Life.

ST. LOUIS, March 13-A dispatch from Hot
Springs, Ark. says: A terrible tragedy was
enacted hero this morning. Geo. D. Williams,
clerk of the Sumpter Hotel. shot and killed
Mra. Norris guest Of the house, and attempted
to kill himself It is alleged that an undue in
timacy has for some time existed between
Williams and Mrs. Norris, who is quito young,
and very fascinating woman. Her alleged
husband, . sporting man, claims to have discov-
cred Williams, last night. in his wifes apartment
and the matter became public through dis
turbance which ensued Williams is a young
man. very popular in society, and no stain upon
his character had ever before existed. He was
so Inundated and crushed over the affair that he
resorted to the rash act which ended the life Of
the unfortunate woman and ruined his own. He
used 44calibre revolver, firing only two shots,
one Of which penetrated the heart Of his victim,
and the other he fred into his own head, just
fractured the skull and passed out without in
ficting q fatal wound Williams is now in
prison. The sad affair has created great excite
ment here.
The Gazette's Hot Springs special says: "At
noon to-day George Williams, clerk Of the
Sumter House, shot and instantly killed a
handsome young woman, known as the wife Of
M. Fl. Norris, gambler, but now understood to
be Williams's mistress, and tried to kill himself
They had boarded there since last November,
and illicit intimacy sprung up between Williams
and the woman, which Norris recently discov-
cred. A few nights ago Norris was dissuaded
from shooting both parties, and Mrs. Norris.
several weeks since, stole 5000 from Norris and
gave the money to Williams for safe keeping;
they intended using it to take them to Mexico.
but were prevented by Colonel Sumter. He
then killed her, intending also to kill himself,
but his wounds are not dangerous. A copy Of a
telegram to relative 10 Little Rock, to be for
warded after his death, and found in his pocket,
says:
your nephew, George Williams killed himself this
morning. When you see the notice of this rash deed
you will naturally inquire who the OF it.
Enough is it that have lost all and hence end my
life and that of one that love.
WILLIAMS was young man, very highly con-
nected and unmarried.
