Capt. J. T. Martin, who for j
three years had been Juneau's po-!
lice chief, announced that he would i

tin has decided not to be an ap
plicant for re-appointment to his j

the termination of his term was j
the direct result of a fine impos-1
ed for using more force than City (
Magistrate E. W. Petit thought he
should have in making an arrest, j

sponse of business men in the city.
