He will be given a hearing by the new committee on discipline, composed of Commission- ers R. W. Chamberlain and M. W. Bannan. The officer's 2:45 a. m. duty call did not come in, according to Desk | Sergeant Rival, and at 3:25 Street Sergeant P. A. McAvay met him on Broad street and brought him to the | police station.

Officer Bloomauist told the ser- geant the woman was afraid of her husband and asked him to stay in the house. He put in his duty calls and looked about the neighborhood for the husband, but did not find him. He was not in the house all the time, but in the opinion of the sergeant, the complaint against the husband should not have necessitated a long stay and he ordered the offi- relative to nd Hawco, who | identified the | | begin a scarch of garages and an ' eral times during the transfer of tl\.o AT NEW HAVEN gfilfifl 000 IN CASH TAKEN BY BY BANDITY Elizabeth, N.
