that the jury was wrong.
In his letter the retiring commissioner
gives the reason for his resignation.
Mr.. Eisele will live i'm the Eighth Ward
in the near future, and says because of
this and that his resignation win now al
low the vacancy to be filed at the coming
primaries, he wishes his resignation to go
into effect Immediately. The tone Of the
letter is pleasant throughout, and no men
ton Is made Of the Grand Jury or the

nection with realty purchases.

itials ct. M could be traced on the arm

lice Inspector Kelley, the superior of
