Longucher unid thoy bad mot to try ta 8gro0 upon n report to the Councll, The tosti- mony was all in, Bhould they draw up resolus tions ? Ald. Cullorton submilted the following 8e an oxprossion of his feolings : Jtesotved, That it 1n the senso of this Commitios that Buperintondent Wachburn in his denlings nnd inter- course with Mr. Wheeler, of Milwaukeo, Wis,, was pulity of no violation of 1w, or of tho rulés and regie intions of the Toard of Yolico of tha City of Chicago, bt wo find from tho ovidonce ollcited beforo nu tlind from {ho conduct and actions of Superintondont Washburn, when cafled upon by Mr. Wheoler, thal snid Whoelor might v bolloved tiat Lo hud regsonas Dlo grounds tosupposo that Buperintondent Washburg did not intend to give up tho siolon property until Badil Wheeler Lind paid for tho uso of {he poraonk make dng the arroat of the burglars tho sum of $200, We ace anit Superintendont Washbura froni auy corrupt or {l- legal molives in the matter, but find that ho by Lis ac- tions might Lave led said Wheoler to beliovo that said ‘Wheeler's gooda wonld not bo delivered to him until tho sum of $200 had beon pald by im for tho beneft of tho oflicors making tho arrest of tho thisves, The evidonco showed that bocause when Wheoler called onthie 16th ho met Ellis, who snid ‘Washiburn was not in, On tho 18th tho Superin- tondont telographed Wheoler, who came in the ovening, and was told by tho Suporintondont ho ought to pay something to the men.. Wheoler said hio would when he had sottled with McDon- old. Ellis was sent for and Washburn told him to toll Wheolor & Beek ho had an apvointment and could not oo them till morning, Why could not Washburn have told them himsolf of the lpxniu(monb ? 1d. Bhiorwwood thought it improper to consure Washburn - whon thero was no ovidence Wheelor did not como in the morning, as Wash- burn_tolographod him to. Ho got in lato. Washburn was busy, having an important ap- ointmont. There way o time loft for Wheolor o got his goods o the ovening train, and Wash- burn though ho would stay till morning. Tha Suporintendont wns crusty, ho said, bocauso ho was bothored about tho other mattor. Ald, Cullerton did not think the rosolution consurod tho Buperintendent. It showed Wheoelor had roason to bolieve the Superintend- ent intendod to hold on to tho goods to got & roward, Ald. Bhorwood would oxonorate the Superin- tondent from everything, Ald. Lengacher did not think it wise for tho Committoo to loave tho matter unnoticod. Ald. 8herwood vaid thoy would have to cen- suro tho Board of Dolice it thoy did the Super- intondent. ‘Bomo of the testimony was road ovor and was discustiea by some of the members of the Com. mitteo. Ald. Longachor offorad tho following : We, tho Committec, fud that Supt, Elmer Wasliburn ‘withoutany authority, aud contracy to Iaw, domanded of Mr, Wheeler, of Milwaukee, bufore dolfveriug him hia goods th aum of $200, W& nlso flud taat contrary to tlio unual habit in such cuees he delayed the dellvory of the goods to Mr, Wheoler, an nuneceasary longth of timo, thus causing Mr, (Wheeler au unncccesary expense aud troubls to obtain the properly, o also find that tho said Superintendent Washbura askod fn improper and _ discourteous manner foward Mr, Wheeler and Mr. Ludington, Mayor of Milwaukee, and wo would therefore recommind tho adoption of the following s fiesolved, That Mr, Washburn, Goneral Buperintend- ent of Palice, be and iie is hereby ceusured for asking of B, Wheeler, of Milwaukee, prior to tho delivery of thoso gouds, au's roward for the officers who made tha arrest of tle burglire, who robbed the store of Afr, Wheolor, of Milwaitkee, and also for the discourteous monner' {u_which b treated Mr, Wheeler und Mr. Tudington, Mayor of Milwaukee, in his oficial capacity na Buperiniendent of Polico, What tho Mayor had said amounted ta nothing, The Suporintondont could got hia authority only from the Board of Police. Ald. Cullerton thought theso a little too strong, Ald, Shorwood was willing to accept Ald, Cul- lorton’s rewolutions with some shght verbal chianges, which Ald. Cullorion made, consisting Ln tho froquont ivsertion of the words ‘¢ might ave," Ald. Cannon thought the matter very scrions, and Ald. McGenniss thought it samounted to nothing at all, and Ald. Bherwood regarded it an outrage on Washburn. It was only a news- paper flurry, 'Tho best thing to do was to exon- orate Washburn, Ald, Swoet did not_think that Mr, Washburn had any wrong intontions, Ald. Cullorton's resolution was adoptod, Alus, Longacher and Cannon voting in tho vwgative. Ald. Longachor thought he wuight putina minority report. The Committeo thor sujourned. sty et ¥IRE-PROOF ROOF.
