Attorney Uentral Byers Institute Impeach
ment proceedings against Major Oeorge H.
Richmond, chief of police.
The matter was discussed with Mr.
Byers at the time he was here last week
but nothing definite was arrived at. Mr.
Byers I 'to be In Council Bluffs today
when, It .was said yesterday afternoon, he
will be urged to file the necessary Im
peachment papers.
Friend of Major Richmond are natu
rally highly Indignant over the suggested
Impeachment proceeding and regard U
merely a a political move on the part of
the supporter of Councilman Olson.'
It I a well known fact that never In the
history of Council Bluffs has the city been
freer from crime or from the vicious ele
ment. Member of both political parties
admit thl but for tome reason or other,
best known to themselves, certain per
son with the evident Intention of attack
ing Mayor Maloney have decided to direct
heir effort against the chief of police.
Chief on Firing; Lino.
Major Richmond In discussing the report
hat certain person were endeavoring to
have impeachment proceeding lntltuted
against him said yesterday:
"The chief of police 1 not in politic.
However, I was on the firing line at the
age of twenty years. Twelve of the best
years of my life were spent on the firing
line and when anything 1 started you
will find me there again. I stand ready
to defend every act of my official life,
but I Insist that when such an Investiga
tion la made the public shall be fully In
formed of every detail.
"I court an Investigation of my acta as
chief of police of Council Bluffs. I am
tired of being the eubjeot of whispered
lnuendos. If those who are against me
have anything to say let them come out
In public and aay openly what they have
to say or else let them forever hold
their peace. What I have to say I will
say openly and so everybody can hear.
"Thl talk of Impeachment 1 a political
move, the object of which la to cast dis
credit and disrepute on the present admin
istration. The chief of police Is not In
politic. Because of my service for my
country In- the past and because of the
record of these service I cannot be re
moved front office unless I am found
r ty . of committing high crime or dla
d...ieanor. The law under which I hold
office make me chief of police regardless
of who 1 mayor. I do not believe an Im
peachment will be Instituted but If it la I
am ready for trial. I have known for
everal day that petition were being cir
culated by certain desperate politicians In
the city In an effort to have me removed
no that some reflection might be cast on
the administration of Mayor Maloney. If
trial result the statement I shall make
will be open and plain and easily under
stood. It will result In the publlo learning
all the facts and I court an Investigation
of such a character."

GRAND JURY HAS LITTLE TO DO
Retarns One Indictment nnd I am ores
Another.
The federal grand Jury, which wa Im
paneled Tuesday morning,' waa discharged
yesterday morning by Judge McPherson
after It had returned one indictment and
Ignored one other case. Both cases brought
before the grand Jury were for bootlegging
and constituted, It is said, the entire bust
ness presented to that body. Edward
Smith, the man indicted for bootlegging,
at once entered a plea of guilty and the
court sentenced him to sixty day' lm
prlsonment In the county Jail at Red Oak
and to pay a fine of $100. Smith, It was
charged, had been doing business out of
Council U!uffs as a "suit case peddler"
and fell Into the clutches of an officer at
Glcnwood, where he was retailing "booze"
In pint and half-pint flasks.
The bootlegging charge which the grand
Jury Ignored was against William Trede,
an alleged ttnerant vendor of whisky. Q
W. Davidson, charged with bootlegging.
whose case was transferred from the
southern district, entered a plea of guilty
and was sentenced to thirty day In the
jail at Red Oak.
All other business of the federal court
will be sidetracked for the trial of the
Mabray case, and Judge McPherson again
stated yesterday that until this was dls
posed of he would not make any assign
ment of the civil cases filed for this term.
