THE CHICAGO PUBLIC auNOOLS. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune; Cnicaco, Fob, 19,—In looking over Tae Tain- UNE of yostorday, I noticed au article entitled “Public Schools,” by ' Woll-wisher.” Ho be- gins by » short dissortation on tho school of New York forty yoars ago, Does ho compara thont with tito achools of to-dey? Slightly. It is dot- rimental, in his mind, to tho schools of to-day. Austerenoss was oue fault, truancy another, Hoe dows not stato the primoval canso of thin sus- toreneas. What would ho bayvo?

I balicvo, with the other correspondent, that it is wall for parents to visit the schools, It wontd havo more effect than s dozen ‘rostcan ou tho chil- dron, where the effect is needed. But do pareuts visit any school for the purpose of honest, in- torcsted inquiry? Seldom.

And, if not, is Mr. Meo so sus- ceptible to Storey's pocullar style of beauty that it waa impossible for him to ropross that outburet of onthnsiasilo admiration?

After thoir arreat warrants woro secured, but inatead of tho parties boing held, or ro- qitired to givo bail, they woro olthor dismissed orthoie cases continued, nobody knows how, Tho charge was that Boyden, before whom thoy woro to appoar, had dismissed their cases from an innate eympathy for those concorned. On tho othor hand, Sergt. O'Connor was charged with bolug {instrumental in quosh- ‘ing tho casos, growing out of his fondness for mon of that _ ilk, Juetico Boyden proferrad charges againnt Bergt. O'Connor that he had beon guilty of *conduct unbecoming an officer,” ‘The chargo was oxan~ ined before the Board yoaterday ofternoon, JUSTICE DOYDEN yas the first witness, Ho tostiflod that on the 15th of Decombor ho found five vagrant cases on bis docket, and that Sergt. O'Connor was presont and asked for warrants, which wero grouted, stating that tho parties lind boon arroatod illegally. Ie did not know whothor O'Connor uerved the warrants or not. His attention was again called to tho casen of tho 2éth, when, upon fuquiry, he found that thoy bad boon dismiescd by Sergt. O'Connor, whon ho crasod them from the docket, at tho samo time complaining of tho irrogularity of the prococdings, ‘Tho caso woro dismissed and discharged without his consont, Cross-ezamined: Sorgt. O'Connor novor spoko tobim about a continuauco of tho cases. ‘Tho cages wera nover continued by his authority, but ho undoratood that the conlinuonce was a com- promiao botwoen tho officers and tho dofoudants. ‘The warrante were roturnable on tho 2ist, Ifo did not convorse with O'Connor on the 21th upon any subject, ‘Tho partion did not sp. pear betoro him, nor woro thoy callod on tho 24th. Io did wot know of his personal knowledge whether any of the parties wero in court or not on the 24th. JOUN TUNTBON testiflod that Lo was a boiliff in Boydon’s court ‘on the 16th of Decombor, ond that he sometimes acted as clork, Tho warrants in question wore issued by him and dismissed on tho 24th, at the request of O'Connor, who sald tho whole thing was irregular. Io informed, Boydan on tho 26th that tho casca had beon dismisecd, aud ho appeared to bo disappointed and disgusted at the proccodinge. Crossezamincd: Witness hed not seen O'Connor talking with Boydou bofore asking im to dismiss the casos, He did not call Boy- den’s attention to the dismissal nt once, because tho matter slipped his momory. It waa the cna- tom of the Court to dismiss casos upon the ro- qnost of tho ofticers, but tho Conrt in this case wag notconsulted, He did not consult the Court in the caso becauso bo was acting as bailiff and clerk, and waa prossed for time, Baorgt, O'Con- nor prepared a part of tho original warranty himself, Ho bolieved tho warrants wore issuod after urrost to scrocn tho officer from prosecn- tion. ‘Tho rocordy would show who made tho arrestu originally. JOUN 1. FANRELL testified that ho was present at tho Sonth Side Polleo Court whon the casos in question wore to have como up.

Cross-ezamined: Ho did not sea Sorgt. O'Connor in conversation with Boydon on the morning of tho 24th, but a convorsation might have ocourred withont his knowledge. Ho was told by a Mr. Mitchell, attornoy for tho arrested patties, that tha cases bad been dismissed at the instanco of the oillcers, 0G. W. MITCHELL tontified that ho was ncquaintod with the parties arrested for vagrancy, and was informed on tho morning of tho 2ith that tho cases bad boon din- missed. Ho did not sca or know of O'Connor's holding convorsation with Boyden that morning. ‘The casos woro eet for tho 24th as a compromise hetwoen the attornoya and oflicors. He did not receive any poritive information in advance that the cases would be divmissod, but had hoard rumors to that offect. Cross-craminet: Ie know of nothing Irrogu- lor in tho dismiveal of tho casos, but thought they ought to have bron dismissed because tho warrants wero wrong. Te did not seo O'Connor in converastion with Boyden on the 24th, but with the clerk, He thought it wrong for the clork to dismiss tho case without the consont and adyice of the Court.
