Dismissed From the Force Without q
Full Defense.
The Police Commissioners last night,
after a lengthy secret session, decided to
dismiss Officer Andrew Briggs from the
force. The policeman was charged with
having sent anonymous communications to
the Chief of Police, in which it was stated
that Sergeant Whitman had been receiving
brides from women of questionable charac-
ter.
The case had one peculiar feature at
tached to 1t. Briggs was not given an Or
pOrtunlty to make full defense aga inst the
charges made against him, and was not
aware that second meeting was being held,
but was patroIing his beat OH Bush street
last night while judgment was being passed
upon him.
When Briggs was informed of his dismiss
sal lie grew very angry, declared that the
Commissioners had not treated him fairly,
and said he would make matters interesting
for some of his accuSers within the
next three or four days. Briggs
stated that on Monday night of
last week he was suddenly Summoned be-
fore the Commissioners and handed num-
Der of letters. He was asked if they had
been written by him and he answered in the
negative. He then inquired if the charges
had been made against him and if he
would be given lair hearing. He was as
sUred that justice would be melted out and
set about preparing his defense, securing a
number Of experts to testify to his hand
writing. He was not notified of the meeting
last night and did not know of his discharge
from the force until so informed on the
street by reporter.
Briggs had been on the police force for
four years, and during that time had The

Boston, April 21.-This noon the much
talked-about case against Clarietta E. } Ohm
son was brought up again in the United
States District Court before Judge Carpen-
ter. The scene which occurred week ago,
when General Butler presented a motion in
arrest Of judgment was still remembered
by many, and in the expectation Of more ex-
element there was quite knot of speeia-
tors gathered awaiting the arrival of GEN
eral Butler. The courtroom was nearly
empty when Mrs. johnson was brought in
and given a seat at the back, while General
Butler and his assistant came forward to
their seats within the bar.
As the District Attorney concluded with
a motion for a sentence which should be
the minimum and consist of imprisonment,

his seat, coming toward the Judge. While he
did So General Butler kept on with his re-
marks, to which, however, Judge Carpenter
paid no attention but said, "Mr. Butler is
disorderly; remove him from the court

General Butler apparently paid no atten-
ton to the directions of Judge Carpenter,
and continued his remarks. which no one
could catch. as they were spoken in a low
tone, while Marshal Doherty called three
assistants to his side 10 help him. Let
there he no delay" Judge Carpenter or
dered, and with that the Marshais moved
toward General Butler. who turned and
slowly walked from the room with them.
The courtroom was emptled OF spectators
instantly aud group was formed about the
General in the corridor.
When the General reached the corridor he
began nervousy to pace the floor, mutter-
ing to himself and being full of suppres sed
excitement. He said he had been lawyer

Arrested at the Ferry During n wrangl q

Two more of the hotel runners got into
trouble last night on the arrival Of the over
land train at 8:45 o'clock. Quite rivalry
has existed for some time between A. P.
Anderson, who does the rustlng for the
Chicago Hotel, and A. Williams, who acts
in a similar manner for the New Atlantic,
and any passenger who is unfortunate
enough to fall into the hands of one of them
Is sure to be pulled away by the other.
Last night one of the passengers from the
train stood in the passageway at the ferry
as if undecided where to go. He was at
once bounced upon by Anderson. This
brought Williams on the scene, and a
wrangle ensued. The unfortunate passen-
ger was yanked from one to the other at
lively rate.
Just at this stage of the proceedings
Officer Dowd came up, and he at once
placed both men under arrest and took
them to the North Harbor Station. where
they were charged with obstructing pub
