PUTNAM Indignant because of & _newspaper story printed Wednesday in a newspaper published in a nearby city of this state, Mayor Allie W. Marcy of Putnam issued for publication Friday a statement & which he stamps as false many of the a.- legations contained in the article. The story which aroused the mayor, and which, according to him, has made the entire city of Putnam appear in a false light throughout Cenecticut, told in a lurid manner of the events connected with the celebration of the Fourth of July in Putnam. While that affair was no credit tg the city and has resulted in severe criticism of the police department by both the common eouncil and the judge of the city court, Mayor Marcy | feels that the facts in the case do mnot siole §50 June 9, from the barber shep of Ferd Meunier at North Grosvenordale and that he entered the candy store of Teddy Douiville in the same place and |got away with $2. At Mennier's place Regnier, it was charged, extracted $50 from the safe, having found the key thereto.

Until Friday Mayor Marey has issued no statement comcerning the Fourth of July celebration although he has looked into that matter carefully and was present at all the sessions of the court of inquiry that ws held here in an attempt to get to the roots of the matter. Now, feeling that the name and reputation of the city have been unjustly given an un- savory reputation through the state-wide circulation of misstatements, the chief official of the city gives ou: a statement by means of which he hopes that the entire affair may be seen in a truer light. > The mayor's statement: To the Public: While T have declined making a public statement concerning the recent Fourth of July celebration in this city until more definite information as to the actual faects were available, T believe it is opportune for some one on behalf of the many law-abiding and crime-free eitizens to protect against the exaggeration of conditions and mis- statement of facts recently offered to the press of a nearby city, our town an erroneous and undeserved reputation resulting in more harm than good. More or less~criticism is or should be expect- i ed by all public office-holders and, so far as'it may be basrd upon actual facts, is certdinly justifiable no matter how freely given, and just criticism to- zether with any suggestions for improy- ing conditions will be cheerfully wel- comed at any- time. The extent of the Fourth of July celebration is well known fo everyone, and, if, in following the cnstom of for- mer vears in allowing the opportunity to celebrate, I may be considered more or less responshile .then I accept the ver- diet withont comment.

I was presen all ths sittings of the court of in- quiry, when many witnesses were heard in relation to this matter, but as no ev- idence was obtained justifying further action 1 considered the matter elosed and can see no good reason for further agi- tation at this late hour. As to general conditions of this city, I do not for a moment contend they are perfect, nor do I know of any place in which they are; vet I do not bellz‘;e crime is being fosteyed by nearly #he entire population and that the authori- ties are not even lukewarm in the in- terests of law and order, as has been in- timated ; nor @ I know of drunks being so numerous upon our streets as has been reported. If any person with di- rect knowledge of law-bredking of any kind will go to the prosecuting attorney with the evidence, action will be obtain- ed, but hefesay and “I guess so” evi- dence cannot accomplish the desired re- sults. 5 More sensible co-operation mupon the part of those desiring %justice to be done will result in less opportunity for crit- icism of our home town and its citizens. Very respectfully, ) W. MARCY, Mayor. Mayer Marcy in calling upon the cit- izens of Putnam who have any direct knowledge of law-breaking to’ bring their evidence to the proper authorities falls directly in line with Prosecuting Attor- ney Ernest C, Morse, who two weeks ago at the trial of the seven men brought inte. the eity eourt in connection ywith the Feurth of July celebration, address- ing Judge Mahlon H. Geissler, and the spectators in the reom as well, said: “it is the duty of every citizen of Putnam who has any evidence that will lead to convictions in this present affair to put that evidence into the hands of the pros- ecuting attorney.” Such expressions as these show conclusively that the author- ities of Putnam are not performing their dutles in a luke-warm way, but are tru- ly anxious to prosecute cases of lawless- ness, provided they are given evidence and not hearsay to work upon. As Mayor Marey states, if there is an or- ganization fostering vice in this city, as was declared in the report in the city paper, then those who have the evidence and know that this is true should go to ties whe will ! promise. onca. Putnam citizens themselves are not willing to be- lieve, mor have rounds for believ- ing, that this city below the average city of its size. “onsequently lthey have just grounds for feeling in- dignant tha tthe game of this ecommu- nity should-be unfavorably and errone- ously advertised. The article, a special to a Hartford paper, that brought forth the protest from Mayor Marey, and which has caused a storm of indignation in Put- nam is as follows and was headed: Lone Woman Rights Vice in Putnam.

L. more than 200 persons who surrounded it and tried to set it afire. This latter scene, on tae evening of July Fourth, | was the culmination of frequent threats, oral and by letter, which she has re- ceived. The mob, encountering but fee- ble and . half-hearted resistance by the police, gathered in front of the house, surrounded it, and threw - exploding “ombs and fireerackers upon the veran- da. When Mrs. Hartlett turned the gar- den hose ummn her blazing awning, she hissed and hooted, and was the tar- get for an avalanche of missiles. Des- pite this riot not a single arrest was made. Apparent laxity in enforcing the na- tional prohibition amendment has also caused much feeling. Intoxicated per- sons have become a common sight on the streets, according to' Mrs. 3artlett. “There should be an organization here to fight such conditions,” she said te- day. “I know there are organizations in the city proteeting vice.” Because of several complaints sent nito the office of the state board of health recently’ protesting against the present practice of bathing in Roseland Lake, Woodstock, two inspgetors from that office ‘Wwere sent te Putnam this week to investigate.

On previous ocea- | ons the question of allowing swimming tion was ever taken, and swimming con- tinued as before. Roseland Lake is the pumping station at Harrisville, and between these two points the water is not conducted in pipes but flows in an open stream. It is understood that resdients of Woodstock who live near Roseland Taek and who use it for swimming will resist strenu- outly any attempts to prohibit bathing there.
