POLIGEMAN TIERNEY ABSOLVED ON CHARGES {Continued from Preceding Page) to the Commissioners, Tierney ap- peared to be perfectly sober, and his breath did not smell of liquor. No Smell of Liquor. Commissioner Jackson asked witness if he was close enough to Tierney to detect a smell of liquor, and the witness said he was, but did not. The witness also said that at no time during Saturday night or Sunday morning would he say that Tierney showed any signs of having been drinking. Commissioner Lange signal box by Tierney, and after put- ting in his ring, the two policemen went to Doyle's livery stable, where it was believed some men had gone to sleep without permission. It de- veloped however, on investigation by the policemen, that the men had ac- quired permission. The witness said that a stop was made at a lunch wagon to get something to eat. After the early morning repast the police- men canfe out, and noticing Sergeant Ellinger standing near the corner at the National bank bullding, the pair proceeded up Main street. The policemen and the sergeant met in front of Booth's block. The witness and the sergeant held a brief conversation, during which time Tier- ney had not spoken. A few minutes later, Tierney announcei that he was going to put m his ring, and de- parted. After Tierney had moved away, Ellinger, according to the witness, said: ‘‘What's the matter, is Tierney drinking again?" The policeman said that he answered, saying that he did not know. According to Veley, Ellinger then said, “Well, I am going to turn him in.” According to the witness the sergeant and he went down toward the box at the South church corner. No trace could be found of Tierney, and on retracing their steps they saw the policeman near the alley leading to the rear of odor from Tierney's breath, and the witness answered that he had not. if he had not said, after Tierney had been turned in, that the policeman shows it every time he takes a drink, and the witness said that this was so.

During lunch hour at the station, Po- liceman Massey said he played cards, while Tierney, who does not play, sat nearby. At 3:55 o’clock he met Tier- ney again, and the latter told of hav- ing been brought in by the sergeant. He was crying at the time. The wi ness said he was very close to Tier- ney, and could detect no odor of liquor. He was unable to that Tierney had not had a drink. The witness said that it occasioned him in civilian clothes. Says Tierncy Was All Right. Chief Hart then said that he was awakened at an early hour by the telephone. When he answered he found that it was Tierney who was talking. the Ellinger episode, also stating that he had been to Hart's home on two occasions during the morning, but was unable to gain admittance. The chief said he met Tierney later while on his way to church. He informed him of his suspension. The police- man was all right at that time, which was shortly before 7 a. m. Cabelus' Side, Policeman Peter Cabelus met Tier- ney on Main street at 3:56 a. m. Sun- day and the latter was in good con- dition at that time. Cabelus said he did not see any traces of liquor. Aft- er being told of being brought in by Ellinger, Cabelus volunteered to bring Tierney to Chief Hart's house, be- cause the latter did not know where it was. Tierney walked all the way to Olive street, Cabelus said, and Lifebuoy babies have beautiful, healthy, comfort- able skins.

Bill Grabeck ,Testifies, Supernumerary Policeman Willlam Grabeck met Tierney at 4:15 o'clock on Sunday morning on Commercial street.

There were no traces of liquor from Tierney's breath, according to the witness, and he was one of the party that made the trip to Chief Hart's home, you say that Tierney was sober and had had no drink for several hours?" asked Commissioner Jackson. 'Yes sir,”” was the reply of the witness. Supernumerary Policeman Paul Flamos was not as good a witness for the accused policeman as his prede- cessors on the witness stand. The wit- ness sald he saw Tierney on Main street about 4 o'clock and that Tier- ney sald ‘“Hello” to him. The wit- ness sald that the policeman asked his opinion {f he thought Tierney was drunk, and the witness assured him he did not. Smelled Like Hair Tonic, The witness sald that there was an odor from Tierney's breath, but that it was not liquor. He sald it smelled more.like a ‘“hair tonlc.” Commissioner Lange asked the wit- ness if he s acquainted with the smell of liquor and the witness said he is. The witness, while’ he said Tierney was perfectly sober, would not say that he had not been drink- ing two or three hours previously. “Do | The witness sald that Tierney's talk was all right. Sergeant Ellinger asked Flamos, it in a conversation they had of the case, he did not say that Tierney acted as though there was something “Yes I did say that there appeared to be something wild looking about Tierney,” Flamos answered. Mike Knows the Smell. Policeman Michael Flynn told of seeing Tierney playing checkers dur- ing the lunch hour at midnight, and that he was all right at that time. He later saw Tierney and he appeared as before and did not small of having partaken of any liquor. He said that the only thing he saw the mat- ter with Tierney on their last meet- ing Sunday morning, was that he was crying. “Would you not have smelled liquor off Tierney if he had been drinking?” Commissioner Jack- son asked the witness. “Yes, I think so,” the policeman replied. In answer to a question by Chairman Dunn, the witness said he was at the hearing to tell only the truth, and that he saw nothing wrong with Tier- ney. A Good Witness. Policeman Edward Kieley proved to be one of the best witnesses for Sergeant Ellinger then asked Veley The witness sald that on Saturday night, Tierney’'s eygs were bloodshot, and that it was only the night previ- being The witness said that while Tier- ney did not say he had been ‘losing much sleep of late owing to his wife's Policeman Michael Massey sald he testify much surprise when he saw Tierney The policeman told him of the defense. He told his side in a brief manner, that was commented on by some of the commissioners after the witness had been excused. He sald he met Tierney -=at 3:55 o'clock, and saw nothing the matter with him, and after hearing of the Fllinger episode, he advised Tierney to see the other men about the case. The witness said he, neither smelled nor saw any sign of liquor on Tierney. Policeman Maurice Flynn saw Tier- ney on two occasions on Sunday morning, at 1:10 o'clock and at 2:10 o'clock. While he was not close to the accused policeman, there was nothing that he could see about him that would indicate that he was not ir good condition. Tierney Not Drunk. Polliceman George Moffitt saw Tier- ney when he went to work at 7 p. m on Saturday night, and again at 3:55 a. m. Sunday. The witness said Tier- ney asked him in the morning if he appeared to be drunk, and the wit- ness assured him that he was not, and so informed the commissioners. The witness said he told Tierney that he would swear that he was not drunk. He did not smell any liquor from Tierney's breath. Says He Was Sober. Policeman John O'Brien testified tkat he went on duty with Tierney at 7 p. m. on Saturday night, and that he was in good condition. He met the accused policeman about 9 p. m. Saturday, and borrowed his keys to get his civilian clothes, as he had been called in to do some raiding work. When he returned the keys later in the night, Tierney was in a sober condition, and again at 4 o'clock when he next saw him, the accused policeman was all tight. In answer to a question, Policeman | O'Brien saig that in his opinion, Tierney had not heen drinking. Policeman Peter McEvoy went to work with Tierney at 7 p. m.

Advised to Sce Doctor. Chief Hart said that during his conversation with' Tierney on the' telephone, he advised him to consult} a physician. The accused policeman/ told him later that he made an effort to get into several doctor's places, without avall. Tierney Says Little. The accused policeman was. then given an opportunity to present his side. The policeman simply said that the other witnesses had told the story just as it was, and that there was| nothing he counld add to it “You did not have any of that milk, you told about the last time you were before the board, did you?' osked Commissioners Parker. “No eir,” Tirney answered ' Triendly With Accused. In answer to a question by a mem- ber of the board as to his relations with Sergeant Ellinger, the accused policeman said they had been friendly in the past, and that he knew of no reason why the sergeant would ap- pear before the commissioner and accuse him of being under the in- fluence of lquor while on duty. Commissioner Jackson asked Tier- ney what physi®ans he tried to reach after being so advised by Chief Hart Tierney said he failed to reach either Dr. H. T. Bray or Dr. Peter W. Fox. At about this time the accused po- liceman began to converse a little more about Sunday morning's affair. He sald that Sergeant Ellinger came along and said to him, “I am going to turn you in,” then starting to walk away. The policeman said he asked | the sergeant to explain the affair, but that the sergeant simply insis‘ed that he go along to the police station The accused policeman said that he had lost some sleep last week, ow-; ing to the illness of his wife, and that hils eyes might have had a bloodshot OFFERS EXTRAORDINARY VALUES FOR WEDNESDAY MORNING — SHOPPERS — West Electric Wrigley’s Curlers Fairy Crib Gums 2 on Card.

The sergeant was asked by Com- | Ellinger sald he believed that it | was a case that the men did not wish to see a brother policeman get into trouble. He said despite all the tes- timony that the policemen had offer- ed in the defense of Tierney, the charges as he brought them were true, and he didn't care if all the po- licemen in the department spoke to the contrary. The sergeant said that he did not at any time claim that Tierney was drunk, but he did claim | that he was under the influence of liquor, and rather than take the re- sponsibility for his condition while on duty, he turned him into the station. Poor Judgment. Commissioner Jackson asked El- linger if in his opinfon a man that took a drink was under the influence of liquor, to which the sergeant made the reply, that he was. It was the contention of Sergeant Ellinger that Tierney was under the influence of liquor, and that he feared he would get worse if allowed to remain on duty. Tabs on Tierney It was also the statement of Ser-| geant Ellinger that he has been look- ing Tierney over pretty closely of late. During his remarks regarding the accused policeman, Ellinger told of the policeman being under the in- fluence of llquor on a previous occa- sion, and that since that time an in- spection of the men is held before they go on duty. “Do you pay especial attention to Pollceman Tierney?” asked Commis- sioner Jackson. missioner Jackson why it was that two civilian residents of the city had come in and offered testimony that favored the accused policeman.

It was the claim of Sergeant Ellin- ger, in answer to a question of Com- missioner Jacksong that the other po- licemen, had they taken pains, have noticed the condition of Tierney last Sunday morning. “Will you in- dicate that they are juggling the truth. this, Ellinger again repeated his as testify against a brother policeman who s in trouble. Jackson Wanted Action After the hearing had been brought to a close, the question as to whether or not it should be laid over, was dis- cussed briefly. Commissioner Jack- son said that it should be settied at once in justice to the policeman.
