Lottery Tickets Ruled Out Attorney Casale asked Pond if he and Gardiner had & conversation relative to lottery tickets. ~ Mr. Gaffney objected on the ground that no reference was made to such tickets in the complaint. Judge Wolfe examined the warrant and sustained the objection. Attorney Casale contended that Gardiner should have a chance to prove his *good faith action” by going into all the circumstances but Judge Wolfe would allow no reference to the conversational about lottery tickets. Pond sald, in reply to Attorney Casale, that he did not recall having told Gardiner that the public would never know of conditions pertaining 1o law enforcement if Pond did not publish it. Pond recalled that he told Gardiner he did not bel Chief Hart was justified in calling Gardiner “crazy” as the chief was quoted as having referred to Gard- iner in the New Britain Herald on February 27.

He read part of it and stopped. saying he would not read all of it unless Attorney Casale wanted ft read. “We claim all of it,” the de- fense counsel said and the reading went on.
