Richardson, and hisitwo sons, Andrew and Wallace, the arrest of Jake Winkle an hour later and the arrest last night of Jacob Jen- nings, of the Grand Hotel, this city, prominent saloon and race track gam- bler, left New Britain in the throes of excitement such as this thriving city has seldom seen in its history. As late last night as midnight groupe of prom- inent men could be seen standing about the street discussing the various phases of the case. In front of the building where a number of local at- torneys have their offices half a dozen lawyers, among them being Prosecut- ing Attormey A, A. Greenberg, specu- lated upon the features of the case, the proWabilities of ralsing the pro- hibitive bafl, etc. Misplaced Confidence. At the police station Lieutenant Bamforth was relusant to discuss the case. Chief Rawlings, who stayed there until late at night, as is his usual habit, seemed to feel keenly the fact that one of his trusted officials had apparently proven unworthy of his trust. After working together for so many years, Sergeant Richardson hav- ing gradually grown to be one of the most trusted men in the department, probably long before he was tempted, the biggest blow to the chief was to learn tLat he himself has been tho victim of a misplaced confidence On his own initiative Chief Rawl- {ngs suspended Richardson from the force, pending developments. This ac- tion was approved immediately by Chatrman P. F. King, of the board ot polica commisaioner: That the actions of Sergeant Rich- ardson quite recently have not been ove suspicion in the depurtment, are admitted by the fact that months ago, without notice Richard- son was removed from the duty of making liquor raids and Sergeant W C.

Cotter, who has been " held under a $5000 bail as a material witness, is thought to have “come through' with a lot of informa- tion which seriously implicates the Richardson, Winkle-Jennings faction. That this city has been the headquar- ters of a rum running gang is well known. That Jake \7inkle has been one of the prime movers is openly stated by those who know him, and that 3ergeant Richardson was mixed up in the game has been rumored about the city for a year. Direct ques- tions as to his connection with the rum businuss put to Richardson by a Her-'| ald representative met with the state- ment that they were ridiculous. Race Track Gambling. Stories are told of tips on horse races, by a gang in New York which made it a business to fix at least one race a day. Rumors also are rife as to how Richardson disobeyed orders of the gang one time and was trimmed to the tune of $15,000. Intimations are made of mysterious women, two of whom have been intimate with Winkle and another one, employed by a local corporation, who is said to have gone away with Richardson every time he went on a vacation trip. This same woman is said to have been out of town somewhere with Richard- son at the time Winkle met his death, either by falling down the stars at Kalkowski's saloon, according to the alleged “fake confession” or by being knocked on the head by some blunt instrument, which seems to be the theory of experts who have heard the details. Tales are told of rum running trucks coming to this city from Ca- naan, Millerton and Great Barring- ton. In fact, it is whispered that just this week two local men, prom- inent in city life, were up to Great Barrington arranging for a truck load of booze. There are rumors of a load being stolen in a local garage and then found by someone and re- sold to a gang at the hotel which is considered the central receiving and distributing point, making the gang pay for it the second time. There are stories of booze delivered to local hotels in daylight.

San Francisco, Sept. 30.—Prepara- tions for the prosecution of Roscoe C. (Fatty) Arbuckle on a charge of manslaughter in connection with the death of Miss Virginia Rappe today were overshadowed at least for a time by the federal investigation into the supply of liquor drunk by the guests at the comedian's hotel party at which the state contends the girl was injured fatally. Belief that his investigations had uncovered a gigantic liquor smuggling ring, operating with San Francisco as a base and which imports liquors only of choice brands and quality from Mexico and Canada, was expressed by Federal Prohibition Director E. For- rest Mitchell. He is making his in- quiry at the instance of Robert H. McCormack, special assistant to the United States attorney general. Mitchell last night stated that he had a witness who delivered liquor to Arbuckle’s suite at the Hotel St. Francis. The name of the man is being withheld and he is being ANNOUNCEMENT.
