Defends Captain Evans.
AS to Captain Evans. / want 10 say
that. IN my Judgment, he did not piir-
posely withhold information which Nc
had from the chief of>pOlice, that ha
did not suspect that the man at the
Fourth and Shipley street house WAS
Virgins. and that was his reason for
not sending man there moro
promptly. after he received the notice
from Miss Healing cannot. how
ever. cunscientiously excuse Captain
Evans for his conduct of the AFFAIR
after he mad ascertained that il was
Virgins.
He should in my opinion. have di-
rected things to have been done
rather than to have done them Linn
SELF. II he believed that the use of
shotguns was the proper method to
apply under all the circumstances.
then he should have sent one OF the
men under him to have done that
work, and should have remained
where he could have best directed the
affair. lt may be that the results
would not have been different. but II
would have shown better police regu-
-lation | do not think that his iudg-
imcnt in the use Of shotguns was the
beet Judgment. II is true that he
was dealing with a desperate man, and
that one of the officers had been seri-
ously wounded. but I cannot conclude
that the facts warranted such methods
being used. One thing that I desire.
however. to say in this connection is
that whatever Captain Evans did, he
did TO the best of his ability, and that
he used his best Judgment under all
the circumstances. In addition to
that he has been perfectly frank with
this Commission in connection with
it. So far as ] can ascertain, he did
not seek any glory from the trans
action; neither has he undertaken 10
shirk any responsibility which he had
IA the matter. On the other hand
in the face Of public criticism, he
states that in his judgment his method
Of attempting to capture Virgins was
proper under all the circumstances.
In some instances IL may be neces.
sary TO severely punish man even
when he has done the best he could. in
order that every man connected with
this department may be taught a lesson
which be would otherwise be many years
in learning, INIT | am satisfied that Sc.
we're reprimand Of Captain Evans by the
president of this commission would be
sufficient punishment in this case.
Asks Resignation Of Chief.
Il come. lastly, 10 deal with the Chief
Of police himself. George Black has been
chief of police of this department ioi
about twelve years. 1 have no doubt
that during that time he has given some
valuable service to this community.

the beat methods Of capturing this man.
Chief Black admits that no such confer
ence was held.
The chief OF police was informed that
W iggins was in his home on this Sund.y
and the day before he was killed. True,
this was only rumor, bnt not even a
man on that district was notified Of
that rumOr. The captain on duty that
day was not informed of the rumor, nor
was the captain who came on duty that
night so informed Instead, the chief OF
police selected Special Sergeant Nardle
and-directed him, with pafromsn King,
TO watch Virgins home Sergeant kci-
lchcr. from whose district King was
taken. WAS not informed as to Kings de
tail ior special duty. This perhops had
no important bearing upon the final re-
suit. but / mention il to show how lac
failed to do what | consider his duty nl
the matter.
Again. when he was informed as to
the rumor about the gold tooth he did
nothing himself, nor communicated that
fact TO the men under him. Il may be
tiue that he could not at that time see
how It could effect Virgins capture,
out IL MRS at least worth his while 10

whether or not there WAS amy truth IN

nicated to the men who we're familiar
with the contents Of the suit case and
the description OF the man az the
Fourth and Shipley streets house would
have Immediately connected Virgins
with. that description and made ms
capture comparatively easy.
II ann convinced from a most careful
reading pf the testimony that when
Chief Black went TO the Fell building
that the shooting did not cease for some
time afterward, and that the chief dii
not in any way take charge.
Il do not believe that the chief OF
police realized that a mistake was
being made in the use Of the shot
guns. When he went there, do not
think he acted as a man should have
done who was in command OF A num-
Der Of officers.
''ln my opinion. he did make the
statement in the garage accredited
to him by Captain Evans and MI
Jones. | am. also, satisfied that he

I not believe. as / have stated before
that he actually knew this man hae
a gold tooth, but what | do believe
( is that he was trying TO give the i'm
preston that he had been so clos'
on this mans trail that he knew
more than he did in fact know.
Il am of the opinion that the chic

that he was very anxious to get tha
credit himself. can hardly cor

THE chief OF police testified be-
fore this commission that he arrived
az the police station al 1890 o'clock,
a m. thar he remained there NOT over
ave minutes. aud then went directly
10 the scene Of the firing. The testi-
mony shows that the door or Wig

is conclusively shows TO my mind by the
testimony Of Captain Evans that D,vid-
son requested his captain to permit him
(Davidsonl TO break open the door and
arrest Virgins. In my opinion when the
door was closed ia his face Davidson
should have remained on guard at the
door, and devised some other means of
securing help, either through Miss Heal
ing or other inmates of the house In
view of what l consider his lack of

"My criticism OF Sergeant Tucker is
that he is disputed upon verv import

geant Kelleher, and, while can under
stand that all may be telling the truth
as they remember it,, there is an uucer-

that he knew that the officers at the
police station had no knowledge of
the detail Of Sergeant Wardle and Pa
trolman King to watch the home Of
Virgins. The most serious criticism
l have to make OF him is his conduct
