Quinn was dismissed from the¢ police department for the good of. the ser- vice at the adjourned meeting of the board last night. Commissioner R. R. Healey thought this punichment too severe for a first offender and tried to have the commissioners vote to ‘suspend the, patrolman for six months without pay. His motion was lost in the shuffle ‘however. The board also voted to. grant a hear- ing to Special Officer Charles Kem- xln;rer, now under. suspenmon. on July { The hearing xruntefl Officer - Quinn last night was the one adjourned from last Friday night when it was discov- ered that the pqard had erred lnl charging ‘him with one offense .and notifying him of another.

He then told how, boisterously he acted in po- | lice court,” ending up with a recital lof his actions in the dressing ‘room when he threw things about and said ' he was through- with the police job. It was at this time that he detected | the odor of liquor in 'the ' officer's | breath, said the chief, and he also sawd that the man’s attitude donated drink as did the glassy stare in his eyes. Judge Meskill Present. Judge James . T. Meskill, who pre- sided at the court on the day in ques- tion, also testified to Officer Quinn’s objectionable actions. He told how | he stamped around the court room and of his argumentitive attitude on the stand. Usually Officer Quinn is a most gentlemanly witness, said the Jjudge. Judge Meskill said that he did not detect any odor of liquor on the officer but he would not anyway as he did not come near him. reference to the officer’s complaint ; that the prisoner should have been charged with theft Judge Meskill said that he would voluntarially say'that Prosecutor Klett did the right thing as the evidence did not warrant a theft charge.

He also gave a lengthy ac.ount of the method employed in making out warrants, showing that the - officgr had no complmnt and was asked to swear to nothing wrong. Both Judge Meskill and Prosecutor Klett had been subpoenaed to appear as witnesses before the board. Denies - Liquor Charge. In hjs own,.behalf Officer Qlllnnfq.iy mitted all. offenses except being un- der the liquor. of June 5 he went down. town..be fore caurt and bought a néw straw hat and got ‘shaved. When he en- tered the police- station he- vaw the chief take the watch that was found on the prisoner’s person and he asked him if she was to be charged with theft. The thief did not reply, said the officer. Later when he expostu- lated with Prosecutor Klett the latter gaid, ‘I make out these warrants, not vou,” he 'said. Continuing he said that Gilbert, the prisoner, is a man Who never pleads guilty so the po- licemen must be careful that the wai- rant is right because they have to swear to it. . Clerk Smells Breath “I'do. He then called John Hallin, a clerk O’'Connor’s. store and from whom he had purchased his new hat, {as a witness. Mr. Hallin testified to 'selling Officer Quinn the hat and od- | mitetd that while trying it on he had smelled the edor of liguor, strong. Anthony Puscia, a barber at Corb- leyls barber shop, was Officer Quinn’s nex: witness. He told of shaving him but ‘did not smell any liquor or notice amylhing unustal about the officer. Mr.” Corbley “himself said he notified .nothing unusual about Officer Quinn and ‘smelled neo liquor: Special Of. ficer Thomas*Heslin testified iz a sim- 'ilar manner. Admits Taking Drink Officer Quinn was “then asked if he had had a drink on ‘this particular morning. He said he might have had, he would not deny it. Asked if he had more than one he said pos- sibly two but no more. ~He always .takes a drink or two after work, and as for his eyes being glassy, he thoukit Chief Rawlings’ eyes would get glassy, too, if 'he had worked all night and then hdd ta come to court to testify the next morning. - He also udmitted but not | throwing his clothes about the dress- ing room and said that had not friends interfered he would have taken them away with him that day. After the hearing had heen de- clared closed and the witnesses ex- cused the commissioners discussed the case and Mr. Holmes said that it should, be understood . that Oflicer Quinn was not charged with being drunk. It might have been that the two drinks, together with his temper, caused him to act as he did. The other commissioners agreed. Is Found Guilty. When a vote was taken all three af the commissioners voted to find Officer Quinn guilty of being under influence of intoxicating ligdor. { This, with his admitted guilt on *2e other charges, made the officer guilty on all counts. The next business was to mete out the punishment. Wants Six Months™ Suspension. Commissioner Healey moved that vhe charge of being under the in- fifluence of liquor Officer Quinn be suspended for three months without pay. On each of the other threc charges, disorderly conduct on t(ne witness stand, rising and interrupt- ing the court and the hoisterous ac tion with the prosecutor befdre co 'rt. the officer be suspended for one month each, thus making a total .of six months without pay and. to report at headquarters at 9 a. m. every Weod- nesday and Saturday. For the pur- n .| pose of bringing the matter befora the "hoard for discussiocn Mr. Holmes seconded the motion. He then said he thought six;months too lenient and asked Mr. Healey why that was all he asked. Mr. Healey replied that it was merely a matter of poinion and he felt that a six months’ suspension was very severe and would have as much éffect as a complete dismissal. “In the case of one'man whom I con- sidered a detriment to the service I did not hesitate to vote for his dis- missal,” said Mr. Healey. But, he continued, Officer Quinn has a good record behind him and as this was his first offense he should not be dis- missed. Mr. Holmes insisted that the offense was a grave one and the efficiency of the department must not be impaired. Also he did not think that Officer Quinn showed the praper spirit, and was quite arrogant. Alling Gives Views.

Mr. Willoughby died about a vear and a half ago. The marriage tock place between the years 1881 and 1893 and while those who ‘are interested in the estate are not certain of the surname of Mrs. Willoughby before her marriage they are reasonably certain -that her Christian name was ‘Gertrude Louise and they: believe she was of French extraction., It is said that the mar- riage was perfarmed in this city, al- G.

As far as the trustees «f the es- tate know. Mr. and Mrs. Willoughby lived at 6 Huff street, Plainville in January, 1891, and at 139 Arch street, this city, in' February, 1892. They also lived at 45 Chestnut street, this city, in August and December of 189¢ and it is said_ that Mrs. Willoughby left her husband about this time, Kirkham & Cooper of this city have been asked to learn whether Mrs. Wij- loughby is still alive or.to find pro6® In case she is deceased.

PSRRI et AU SR, S8 25 S A D S S S I ) believer in rigid discipline in the po- lice department and he thought Mr. Healey’s suggestionp too mild. Ne considered the officer’s offense the more serious inasmuch as it took place in court. Hawever, he thought Officer/Quinn’s previous good record should save him from dismissal. *I think he should be suspended for a year,” he said. “I don't want to starve the man, so 1 disagree with the chairman,” said Mr. Holmes. He said he thought six months enough but wanted the proviso insertéd that if he is ever brought before the board again for'anything ather than a minor offense he should be dismisséd. ‘“"All reports [ have received of Officer Quinn have been good,” said Mr. Holmes. Mr. Healey called for the question, but Mr. Alling interrupted to say that if he voted to suspend the officer for a year he wculd not expect him to report daily. Mr. Holmes and Mr. Alling voted against Mr. Healey’s mo- tion and it was lost. In his turn Mr. Holmes amended Mr. Healey's motion with his afore- said proviso. Mr. Healey objected because he wanted Officer Quinn to feel that he is having a chance . and did not want the officer to be kept in the right path by the threat of what will happen if he is found guilty again. He feared that it might duce the officer to dodge issues and try to cover up little things for fear that he would be dismissed. He wanted an officer to feel that if he is ever brought before the board again he would be tried on the merits of | the case. We ought nat want to hang something onto him for some- thing that might come up later. ; § think the penalty should be one thing or another with no strings on him,” said Mr. Healey. Mr. Holmes thought Officer Quinn a | man who needs a string on him and- Mr. Healey did not think he is that type of a man who needs a string to keep him straight. Dismissal—Alling and Holmes. To end further argument Chairman Alling moved to have Officer Quinn dismissed. Mr. Holmes seconded the motion. Mr. Healey said he hopea the motion wauld be lost as it was too severe, but he feM sure that each of the commissioners were voting for what they conscientiously believed to be just. When the matter was put to a vote Mr. Holmés and Mr. Alling voted for dismissal and Mr. Healey voted against it. The motion was déclared carried tend to in- | i missed -for the good of the service. Will Move Alarm Box. On the removal of Box 5 at the corner of Main and Commercial streets Mr. Holmes suggested that the box be moved ten or twelve feet further down Commercial street and nearer to the curbing. The maximum ecost would be $25, said Mr. Hlomes, It was voted to have the box changed. Although no action was taken, the board was notified that Officers Lyon and Johnson do not ask for twelve additional days for their vacation. According to Officer Lyon they want only two additienal days, making their vacation a dozen instead of the regulation ten days. Newly appointed Officer Willlam Murphy has passed his physical test. The next regular meeting will bhe held at 4 o'clock on the afternoon of July 12 when Special Officer Kem. merer, under suspension, will be given a hearing. & BUILDING NOTES., John Erickson has applied to Build- jing Inspector Rutherford for permis- sion to erect a three-family house on Park street at a cost of $5,500.
