The Retirement Of Captain Murray

The retirement of Captain John
Murray from the police department
has been very freely discussed. In
term of service he was the Oldest of
ficer on the force. That he was an eff
ficient, conscientious official no one
questions. His record is one that no
officer need be ashamed Of Not only
did he have the respect of our citizens
and his brother officers but his sterling
worth has from time to time received
recognition from officers of depart
ments of other cities. The state police
acknowledged his valuable services
not long ago by presenting him pair
of handouts of the latest style and
make.
Captain Murrsy's retirement was
due solely to 1.-The fortunes, or misfor-
tunes, of holding political position.
Several attempts have been made in
the past to take this important office
out of politics but it has each time
been defeated. Without In the least
rejecting upon the capability OF his
successor in office 1t may be said that
in losing Captain Murray as a public
servant the community loses a valu-
able officer.
For twenty years Captain Murray
has been in the police department, for
over half that time at its head. AL
though his duties were prone to make
enemies, so fair was he in his dealings
with those whom he was from time to
time obliged to take into custody in
the line of duty that never has one of
this criminal class been heard to utter
words denoting vindictiveness. 1t
was by this fair treatment and a frank
statement OF his position and the rela-
tive position of the criminal that he
was able TO get many confessions.
He was fearless in the performance
of duty when once he made up his
mind what he believed the right course
to persue. He would follow clue un-
tiringIy and many times when others
had forgotten the circumstances he
would solve the problem and bring the
perpetrator to justice. He WAS abso-
lutely honest In all of his dealings and
never took an unfair advantage.
Captain Murray's m any friends wish
for his future success.
