LIEUTENANT BERRY DISMISSED
BY COMMISSIONER BINGHAM
Detective Who Let "Prae" Bailey Escape Him in Honduras,
Pays Extreme Penalty for His Lapse of Vigilance
Capt Burns Is Retired.

Police Lieutenant Peter ". Beey', at.
tached to District Attorney Jerome's
staff, was dismissed from the force by
Police Commissioner Bingham this aft
ernoon. The dismissal came as the re-
suit Of his trial on the charge that he
allowed Francis +. Bailey, Of the famed
pirate ship Goldsboro, to escape in the
hsrbor OF Puerto Cortez, Honduras, on
July I last, but In police circles to-day
the dismissal was regarded as a slap by
Gen. Bingham at MIR. Jerome, as Beery
has been in favor with the Distrlct-At-
torney.
Lieut. Beery was sent 20 Honduras to
bring back three prisoners after the
Godsboro had been captured there. He
got two men, but the third escaped and
the detective was placed on trial before
Deputy Commissioner Hanson as soon
as he returned to this city. Hanson
scored Beery at the trial, but as the
decision had hung fire ever since, It was
thought the case would be forgotten.
1t was said In Beery's defense that 1t
was unfair to send one man to bring
back three prisoners from foreign port
