WATCH AND GHAIN GIVEN T0 WINKLE * Gomstabie for 35 Yours Honored by Frionds at Dinoor For the first time in 25 years of public service the tables were turned on Constable Fred Winkle and a was aserved upon him—a writ of friendship and admiration in recognition of the services rendered to the city by about 75 professional and business men who gathered last night at the Elm Tree Inn in Farm- ington to pay their and the city's Teapects to one of the oldest public officials in point of service at a tes- timonial dinner given in his honor. It was a red letter day in Con- stable Winkle's life and both the old and young members of the legal profession raid glowing tributes to the man who had served the city so well. Judge F. B. Hungerford, one of the oldest practitioners in this city, ‘was the first to be called upon by Attorney Harry Ginsburg, who acted as toastmaster. “Fred Winkle I have known you ever since you first started your scr- vice for the city,” he said “and in those years I have known you to stand out in the atreet in rain and snow to collect enough money to pay some unfortunate’s fine. I have known you to say ‘I'll help you, I'll dig down in my pocket to help you,’ and you did. L have known you to help many a man out of & scrape, especially the unfortunates who nad no money. I recall distinctly oc- casions when you had a writ to serve and after finding what condi- tions prevailed in the home of the party whose goods you were to at- tach, you would rather take the ob- ligation onto yourself or tried to per- suade the counsel to desist from forcing the party to the wall. You had gone out of your way on count- ! less occasions to help out an unfor- tunate and you had won the esteem and high regard of your fellow citi- sens. 1 congratulate you, my dear friend on this occasion and cbove al; I congratulete you for never becoii- ing hard-boiled.” Ex-major George A. Quigley, who had known Constable Winkle for nearly 30 years, echoed the praise of Judge Hungerford, adding that aespite the unpleasantness of the job be had always discharged his dutics to the satisfaction of all and t he was never found lacking in sym- pathy. “I know not one thing against Fred knd I pride myself upon his as- sociation and friendship, for after all, friendship is the greatest thing in the world,” he concluded. Prosecuting Attorney Joseph G. ‘Woods expressed his desire to wit- ness another such gathering in honor of the guest of the evening 25 years hence and in outlining the character- istics of the constable, stated that regardles of nationality or religion, Constable Winkle always deprived himself of needs and helped out those in dire need of assistance. H said that he is known throughou the state for his honesty and de serves the best of thinge that m: come to nim. In conclusion t} speaker said that no man w’ knows Constable Winkle can refi the statements made at the dinr about his honesty, charity and goc nature, Attorney Albert Greenberg, one o’ the younger members of tie bar. stated that in all his associations with Constable Winkle, he had ways found him charitable and patheticc. He saild that he had ways found him courteous and hearted and that his conduct and manner of discharging his duties thould serve as an example others in the future. In conclusion, Attorney Ginsburg asked the guest to stand up and told him that he was found guilty by all those present of good-heartcd- big- “I Was So Nervous I Couldn’t Sleep | Nights,” States Mg, Dwyer, Mr. John J.
