The prosecutlon had its case all in, except for some witnesses to be called for rebuttal, but the defense still had half a dozen more witnesses to pre- sent when the adjournment was taken. Crowd Too Demonstrative. When the council meeting opened at 8.10, with Mayor Charires F. Thayer presiding, all the seating room for spectators was occupied and a crow? of men stood as close as they could pack in at the rear of the council chamber. It was plainly a crowd that was in sympathy with the accusad officer, as was shown by their ap- plause for him at one point in the tes- timony, for which they were remind- ed by the mayor that demonstrations of any kind were not to be_tolerated. Corporation Counsel Joseph T. Fan- ning conducted the case against the officer and Attorney William H. Shields appeared for Captain Linton. 'wo stenographers were on duty. The roll call showed a full attend- ance and Mayor Thayer suggested that the adjourned meeting of the | council from last week take a recess to glve way to the special meeting. As there was no objection this was ordered and the mayor convened the special meeeting, The Charges. Clerk Moore read the call for the meeting and also the complaint agalnst Capt. George Linton for ai- leged acts on the night of April 17, 1812, or early morning of April 18, with 1ts four counts against Capt. Lin- ton, the first two alleging the tipping off of the Vinie Maudaby house in Ferry street and the Marion Morse house in Water street, the third on re- placed at police headquarters, and the fourth charging that he had sent Po- sist in securing bonds for an arrested person, The ‘clerk also read the proceedings of the court of common council in tak- ing action when the complaint was first presented. Controversy Over City Ordinance Mayor Thayer announced the hear- ing and Attorney William H. Shields made inquiry whether a complaint in writing had been made to the board of police commissioners against Captain Linton by any person, according to the ordinance covering removak of an officer. This ordinance was printed in April, 1901, from which Mr. Shields read. Corporation Counsel Fanning stated that no such procedure had been foi~ lowed for the reascn that this ord nance never became a valid ordinaz and he claimed that the procedurs would come under the old ordinance, which provided for notice to the cou of common council and that the other regulations had been carried out. Attorney Shields then called atten- tion to what he said would be an astounding thing when it wes known that the complainant in this action was alsd sitting in judgment upon this case, but Corporation Counsel Fanning assured the opposing attor- ney that the board of police commi sioners weee disqualified in this cas Mayor Thayer Rules Out 1901 Ordi nance. Mayor Thayer said that it had been found in a previous case that this or- dinance referred to by - Attorney Shields had never become a valid or dinance and the calling of witnesses then began.

This place is raid- ed and you can't talk to either one of them.” "He then hung up the tele- phone, On cross-examination Attorney Shields brought out the fact that Of- ficer Rudd had enough of an acquaint- ance just to say-‘hello” to him.

He next saw Cap- tain Lintoon on the following night. when Capt. Linton told him that on the preceding night he had been In- formed by Officer Smith that men in an automobile were In town and were going down into the house in Ferry street, and he thought they might be state police. Captain Linton toid the chief that he made up his mind to call up the houses to find out who these men were and the chief went on to re- late what Captal Linton told him about the - telephone convehsations. agreeing in his recital of what Captain Linton told him with the testimony which Captain Linten-later gave for himself on direct examination. State Policeman Testified of Tele- phene Talk. State Policeman Frank Varelli ef Fairfield was next on the stand, tes- tifying to.being in the party of state police ‘which arrived here at 10 min- utes past 12 on the night in question. He went te the Vinie Maudaby house on Ferry strest. In the house he ans- wered a telephone call at the houses.

Deputy Sheriff McCabe. Deputy Sheriff James McCabe of Hartford county Was next put on by the prosecution, another member of the raiding state policemen. He was with Officer Varelll and Officer Cley land at Ferry street. He knew that Officer Varelll answered the telephone there but didn't know the conversation. The deputy sherift was not cross- examined. Bringing the Beer to Police Head- quarters. State Policeman Robert W, Bridg- man of Groton Hill was the next wii- ness. He was another member of the raiding uparty and testified that he made arrests at Mrs_ Young's on Water street and also searched and seized lquors there. He went to police head- quarters about 2.30, after making the seizure, and saw Capt. Linton. Officer Bridgman sald he went in with a case of beer in each hand and saw Capttain Linton standing near the doorway by He asked Captain Linton where he could store the beer and Captain Linton told him to take them out of here, that he didn’t want | it there. He testified that he sald nothing to the captain about why he was bringing the beer there. Officer Bridgman said he took the | beer out to the automobile and took it | away to another house. On - cross-examination Attorney Shields_questioned him particularrly lice headquarters, He said he had se Captatin Linton on a previous occa- | sion when lodging a prisoner here, but there was no acquaintance between | them. The words quoted above were | al Ithe conversation between them at | the time he brought the beer in, he said, He denled to the attorney that he had ever been Inside the private room at police headquarters or that he pushed the door open and went into the room, unannounced and uunbidden. Attorney Shields put many ques- tions about a former prisoner brought here from Montville by Officer Bridge- man, trying to fix it whether Captain Linton was in charge at police head- quarters then. Bridgeman claimed that he was, but that another officer was there also, Going for the Bondsman. Policeman Charles McFadden of the Norwich police for 19 years followed State Policeman Bridgeman, testify- ing to being on the West Main street beat from Washington square to cor- ner Main and High streets. While on duty that night he testified that he communicated by the police signal with police headquarters, calling up Cuptain Linton and inquiring if he should go with Marion Morse and some of the state polices to show them where George Pratt lived. The cap- tain answeredh “Yes, certainly.” Po- liceman McFadden testified that he went with the party to Mr. Pratt's and that he was absent from the beat about five minutes before he got back to_the police signal. To Attorney Shields the officer said he considered it an important part of his duty to show people their way who inquired. He called up Captain Lin- ton to ask if he should go. Officer Rudd found Mr. Pratt at the house and he came out at once into the anto- mobile. Policeman McFadden testi- fied to being off beat by consent of his superior officer about a year ago for an hour to show a woman to a house on the West Side, Mayor Thayer Puts a Question, To the mayor Policeman McFadden sald he knew Marion Morse and that she said no one in_the auto kmew where George Pratt lived.

George Linton, 51, a member of the Norwich police force for 26 years next July 1, having started as a patrolman, and having been captain eight. years with never any reprimands or complaints against him before, he said. Captain Linton Testifies. Captain Linton was then called to narrate the incidents. of the night and morning in question. On that night Captain Linton sald about 20 minutes after 12 Officer Smith called him on the police signal on Franklin square, asking if anything speclal was on. The captain replied not as he knew and Officer Smith told him a big black automobile had lot out three men in Franklin square, who hurried down into the Ferry streei house and the machine had then left men at Durkee iane. The officer had learned they were Hartford machines and thought the men might be state police. | Called By Telephone. Captain Linton then said he called up the house in Durkee Jane andn got no answer. He next called up the Ferry street house, where .a man's voice answered and the following was the conversation: Is this Vinie's place? Yes. 4 Who is talking? I belong in the house. All right. This is police headquar- ters. It is reported to me tnat a | the chief wanted to see him. ca*tnn‘ ‘aking up the incident about the departure of Policeman Rudd and Marion Morse to go to Mr. Pratt’s from police headquarters, in answer (o questions, Captain Linton said that Rudd and Marion Morse came to him in the >utside office, asking if he had an officer whom he could lend to g0 with Rudd and Marion Morse to point out George Pratt's house. When no one was found after general ingifir Marion Morse and Policeman Rudd left t0 find George Pratt's. Captain Lin- ton testified further about glving per- mission over the police signal to Of- ficer McFadden to go with them. Came Into Chief's Office With Beer. On the point of the liquor brought to headquarters, the captain testified that he was in the chlef's private of- fice over by the further window when & big man with a case of beer in each hand pushed into the room, coming midway into the room, and asked him Captain, where will 1 put this?" The captain answered, he tesfified: “You can't put it in here. Youll have to take it out of her To this the man asked where he should put it, and the captain told him he didn’t know, but he must take it out of there. The man with the beer then left. Captain Linton sald that he left a note that night for the chief telling the cir- cumstances. ¥ The captain aiso testified to calling up The Bulletin office and informing them of the raid. He also related his report to Chief Murphy, repeating the story as he had previously told it. Asked About Suspension. On the night of April 24, while he was in bed, having been off duty on vacation for several days, the captain testified he received the first intima- tion (hat he was subject to censure by Police Commissioners Barry agpd Delaney coming 1o his house b 10 and 11 o'clock. They asked the captain if he was suspended, saying that they understood Mr. Parker had been looking for them all day, and they understood he was suspended and they wanted to know from him direct and to assure him of their friendship. The two men didn’t come into the house, but stayed only a few minutes. The captain next saw them on the fore- noon of April 30 in the chief's room at police headquarters, where the chief and the other police commissioner were, Charges Preferred Against Him. The captain was summoned to this meeting by Officer Irish, who told him At this meeting Mr. Parker told him that the | purpose of the meeting was to notify him that he was under suspension on charges of tipping off the houses. Mr. Parker told him that they had the evidence, but before they would pro- ceed any farther they would accept the captain’s resignation to save him- self and his family from scandal. The captain answered that they didn’t have the evidence, for it was not in exist- ence. Rebuke for the Spectators. Applause form the crowd at this point brought a protest from Cor- poration Counsel Fanning and a repri- mand from the mayor. The captain testified that he was not asked at this time for his ver- sion, but Commissioner Barry sajd this' was no trifling matter and Com- missioner Delaney said that the cap- tain's name had been used pretty rough and he thought he ought to be gfven a chance to clear himself. The typewritten complaint suspend- ing the captain was put in as evi- dence. It was handed to him at this meeting. On_cross examination by Corpora- tion Counsel Fanning the captain told of the number of offices on duty in the clty that night and the location of police signals. He did not try to get Officer Smith to find out who the men were. The corporation counsel asked the witness how he, knowing the charac- ter of these houses, could call them up and make mention of a_report about the state police being here, but the captain defended his action by saying that he knew the men had been in the Ferry street house for ten minutes be- fore ch called it up and he did not con- sider he was giving any information, and he used the telephone because it wag quicker than sending the police officer to the house. The counsel also examined the captain as to whether he ut anyone else on Officer McFadden's eat when he sent the officer with Officer Rudd and Marion Morse. No Excuses to Make. Captaln Linton closed his examina- tion by saying that under the same circumstances he would do the same thing again and he was making n excuses for what he had done. He knew he had done no wrong and had no_intention of doing wrong. T Attorney Shields the captain said it was nothing unusual to send a man off his beat, sometimes outside the city limits. He told of many inquiries over the 'phone for Chief Egan. He testi- fled that no assistance was asked by the state police from the Norwich of- ficers and he instructed Policeman Doty, then on duty, to give the state police assistance If it was asked for, To Corporation Counsel Fanning again he said he thought it was proper to send an_officer off his beat under certain conditions and that is the way it is done. More Qu ons from the Mayor. To Mayor Thayer the captain re- peated the conversation with Officer Smith, which was his first information of the presence of the raiders. The mayor askedéwhy he didn’t send the officer to find out, knowing that a tele- phone call would put them on their guard. The captain reasserted that he was giving no information since he knew the men were already in the house, and he also questioned him about’ calling up Marlon Morse and sending Officer MoFadden. He testi- fied that he said nothing about state police when calling up Marfon. Morse. Adjournment was taken at this point just “after Policeman Cbarles Smith had been put on the stand. FUNERALS, strange car has stopped at Ferry street and_three men have gone down into your house and it is thought they | might be the state police. That's straight With these last words, Captain Lin | | the wire hung up the receiver.
