A PENSION IF INNOCENT
Will Be Dismissed at Once if the Court
of Appeals Afirms Present
Conviction.
A PENSION IF INNOCENT

Suspended from the police force with

This is the punishment ordered by the
District Commissioners today for Sam
uel 4. Croft. private OF the Metropolitan
police force. who was convicted. with
Machen, Diller q. Croft, and Lorenz,
by the District Supreme Court for
conspiracy 10 defraud the United States,
and who was sentenced TO the Mounds
vile penitentiary for this offense.
The order of the Commissioners FUR
Their says that, if the judgment of the
District Supreme Court against Groff is
affirmed by the District Court of Ap-
peals. the policeman is 10 be forthwith
removed from the force.
This decision has been reached by the
Commissioners after weeks or delibera-
ton over the matter IL comes as a re-
suit of the police trial board having
found Groff guilty of conviction for a
crirpe involving moral turpitude.
II was thought at one time that the
policeman would be removed from the
force at once. BY suspending him, how

right TO retire him on a pension should
the Court OF Appeals grant new trial
which may declare him innocent.

This is the gist of the opinion sub
mitted to the Commissioners this morn
ing by the Corporation Counsel. Acting
on a suggestion from The Times. Com
missioner West thought 1t the wise
thing to have Mr.. Duvall decide whether
or not section 3, of the act of the Legs
Iative Assembly approved August n.
1871, requiring that certain officers in
the District government shall be resi-
gents of the District, is still in effect
After citing several opinions of the
United States Supreme Court in defense
of his position, the Corporation Counsel
says:
In view of these decision. I am OF the
opinion that section of the act of the
late Legisla tive Assembly approved Au-
gust q, ISL, has been repealed by the
act of Congress providing permanent
form of government for the District of
Columbia, approved June II. 1875.
Accordingly. Mr.. Zinkham is eligible
