the death of the unfortunate woman.
Dawson for PostpOnement.
Some question has been raised ss
to whether this inquiry should be pur-
sued at this time, in consequence OF
which the letters referred to have not
been sent. The view has been TAKEN
that the pending murder trial and the
investigation of the death now being
made by the Department of Justice
make further inquiry inexpedient and
incompatible with justice.
Your special board Is not in COM
plete accord as to the course to be pur-
sued. Maj. Dawson believes that the
inquiry might be postponed until the
conclusion of the trial of the indicted
man and that 1t will in no way suffer
by the delay, though he sees no harm
to proceeding at this time. Mr.. Bride
believes that the board would fail in its
plain duty II 1t did not pursue the in
vestigation fully and frankly at this
time. He does not see how the taking
of testimony, not to be made public
until a final report Is released, can In
any way affect the investigation by the
Department of Justice or the trial of
the indicted man, 1t being q distinct
and separate inquiry independent and
not related to the manner of death nor
the person responsible therefor. Mr..
Bride proposes to proceed unless other
wise directed by the appointing power.
He holds that, II the conclusions of the
jury are correct, no delay whatever
should be countenanced, for the Detec-
tive Bureau and the Police Department
are the source Of the protection OF the
citizenry and delay Is unthinkahle.
Neither he nor Maj. Dawson expresses
any present opinion upon the recon-
mendation Of the jury.
This impaSse being reached, your
special board must of necessity seek in
structions as to whether to proceed al
this time or to wait conclusion Of the
hearing upon the present or any future
indictment or indictments.
IF 1t Is the sense of the Board OF
Commissioners to delay the inquiry,
Mr.. Bride and Maj. Dawson respectfully
request to be so instructed.
