The Times-Union says that it is
rumored that R. Hudson Burr will re-
tire from politics permanently after
his present term of office expires. We
do not know whether Mr.. Burr will
retire from politics or not, but we feel
quite certain that he will retire from
office permanently. A more fatal mis-
take was never made by any people
than when he was elected railroad
commissioner. But governor! Bah!-

"Never Guilty Frank"


Burns was a we'll known character
in the police court and at present
there is more than year of unserved
time against him. He was careless
almost harmless fellow whose pen
chant for booze made him perhaps
the most frequent visitor In the city
Jail and police court of anyone abou1
the city. He carried the title Of
Never Guilty Frank"
So frequent was he in attendance
at the city bastile, that it was hoped
that by giving him his liberty with
time hanging over him, he would
either leave the city or at least be
have himself. When last seen he was
released shortly after 10 o'clock Sat,
urday morning from the police station
and was very sick at the time he LETT.
In order that he might be given a
chance to recover from his temporary
illness he was permitted to leave thz
station After that no one about the
station saw or heard of him and II
| was thought that perhaps he had LETT
the city. 1t is evident, however, that
he has been in the water some days
and his drowning may have followed
within short time, possibly few
days after his leaving Jail, for his fin
gers and hands show from the fall
| ing off of some of the flesh that he
has been drowned for some time.

| When his clothing was examined by
the police, a note book or pock"'
diary was found on his person. l;
