members into tactic -. This state
OF affairs will. naturally. Interfere
with the effective conduct OF the
department and impair the lull per.
formance OF police duties.
Besides, /. is due the public that

true. te made known: or that their

ly proclaimed. Aud this result
can be reached oaly by complete,
impartial and public investigation,
with all the witnesses giving their

Let the Investigation be had,
therefore, and the police force either
relieved OF the odlun. OF the existing
charges aud suspicious, or purified
BY the removal and punishment CT
the guilty parties.
