Frank L.

The bids were filled up at Hinds’ house, and witness took them to the department that night.

Witness read entries. among others several in the name of W. C. Iddings. A POINT RAISED. Mr. Cook raised the point that the witness was - temporary clerk, and was not an of- ficial. Judge MacArthur said the defence could ulre as to his position on cross-examin- nn. Witness resumed. and explained at consid- erable length that the bids came in the mails and were sent to the room to be recorded. Witness performed certain duties, being di- rected by the chief clerk.

He asked an explanation of the clerk | Of the Police Court. Judge Snell remarked that he knew noth- | ing of the matter, but supposed the clerk | Could give the desired Information. Mr. B. PF. Leighton. deputy, in the absenee of Mr. Daw: on, stated that the case alluded to was for permitting water to waste from a bydrant, and was brought at the instance of neighbor of Miller's, on the Ist d. ruary The Une of 5 was Imposed, from which Miller took an appeal, and had ‘never | as yet given bonds to prosecute said appeal in the higher court. The papers are filed in the drawer of the clerk, and for this reason they had not been sent up. Had Mr. Birney applied for information to him, he coult have got a history of the case without parading it before the public. If there was any fault, it was with the clerk. Mr. Birney said he made no charges against the clerk—all he wished was that this case take the same Mr. Eckloff, mars! remarked to the i helt himself responsible for this fne, in case Mr. Miller did not give bond and prosecute, a he had no doubt the fine would be paid by Miller if his attention Was called to it.

In the first district we have but two officers. (policemen,) who, al- though good and efficient men, are wholly equate. They are both needed in the lage of Anacostia. There is a time when patience and forbearance cease to be a virtue, and becomes proper and right for men to take the law in their own hands.
