DROP CHARGE AGAINST HALL.
Former Chief of Police Is Released
on Motion of Prosecuting Attorney.

On motion of Prosecuting Attorney
Geo. F. Yantis, Superior Judge D. F..
Wright Tuesday dismissed the bribery
charge against former Chief of Police
Ben F. Hall and ordered him released
from the city prison, where he had
been confined since his arrest Novem-
Der 20, in default of $2,50O bond.
Yantis' motion was based on his as
sertfon that the evidence he had was
insufficient to convict Hall.
The information upon which Hall
was arrested charged him with receiv-
ing bribe of $40 from the proprie-
toress of an alleged disorderly house
here. This woman has since made
affidavit that she was not in Olympia
during 1915 and this was substan-
tiated by investigation. Hall was ar
rested two days after he had been dis
missed as chief by Mayor Mottman.
