' The Hoard of Police Commissioners today announced their decision ou tho charge j of bribery, incompetency and corruption j , against Chief Detective Wright and De tective* Looney and Cason. The decision of tho board was an ex honeration of the officers, although they were reprimanded for certain acta de veloped by the investigation, which the board did not thiuk were exactly proper in them as officers, although there was nothing sufficiently serious in these acts to warrant their suspension or dimms 8a! from the force. The board's decision was rendered in public in the council chamber. The three accused otlicers were present and re ceived their reprimand in the presence of the crowd. The board also took occasion to say ! that no evidence of corruption had been found in the city court of the other branch | of government touched by the investiga tion. Generally the action of the board is approved by the public, though bitterly denounced by the gamblers and the law less clement which was fighting tlie po lice department. In fact it is regarded as a victory for law and order over the toughs of the city. lion. W. C. Glenn, who 1 represented the three detectives single handed throughout the long investigation, is highly complimented. lie made a magni ficent defence of the accused niNi and deserves the thanks of the city lor the merciless fight on the lawless element which apparently had the upper hand when the investigation began.
