D. Hillman, wealthy real estate operator, of $90,000, while Hillman was making a cross- country trip to ¢ ‘alifornia last spring. Majewski’s statement was made to The Star after the civil service commission had accepted a written resignation without hearing his story. Majewski declared he had been “double-crossed” by Police Chief Severyns and was ready to “spill the beans, His resignation was to have been withheld, Majewski claims, until the charges against him had been dropped by Severyns.

I did as I agreed to ido, The charges were withdrawn before his resignation was accepted. The city attorney assured me that that was the only status on which the commission could accept the resignation, as it would have been illegal to accept it when Majewski already had been dismissed under charges of misconduct.” Attorney Fred Brown for Majewski said Wednesday, he would ask the commission to reopen the case, on the grounds that the resignation had been obtained by fraud.

He is supposed to know some- thing about John F. Majewski's story. Kernan was at police headquarters at midnight Tuesday, seeking an interview with the chief. Wednesday, Severyns said he was seeking high and low for him, but could not find him, Mrs. Kernan, at their home, 414 W. McGraw st., said her husband had left Seattle some time Tuesday and that she does not know where he is. Kernan was called on the phone by Majewski, Tuesday night, at the time of the former detective's “blow-up” on the alleged robbery attempt. Severyns told reporters that Kernan was an “undercover man” for the federal prohibition staff. Prohibition Director Roy C. Lyle Wednesday laughed heartily when told of this report and denied it emphatically. With each new police scandal the position held by Kernan becomes more and more a mystery, and his various intrigues deeper and more mystifying. ——_— ——— Secretary A. H, Grout read Majew-|dent.
