Freed and Ex-Governor Cri- Owens, Thomas J. Horan and Wil- . lam J, Hussey, detective members ot the Automobile Squad of the Po- lice Department, charging accept- ‘ance of illegal fees and neglect of duty, were dismissed to dey by Judgo Alfred J. Talley im General Sessions In view of this ruling it is anticipated that all tho indictments found last Summer against veventeen members of the Police Department by the Spe- cial Grand Jury, which was advised ‘by former Gev. Charles 8. Whitman, | * ‘will soon be dismissed. ‘Three mdictments were dismissed to-day, one jointly against Owen and - ‘Horan, charging them with accepting $100 trom Martin Decker, an insur- ance company employee, as reward for the recovery of a car stulen from ‘Emilie Herreschoff; one against Owens charging him not returning within &% reasonable time to the prop- erty clerk of the department a stolen car he had recovered, an4 one against Hussey charging him with accepting @ reward of $50 from Decker. The Motions for dismissal wore made by ‘ex-Judge Leonard A, Snitkin and ‘were based on the Grand Jury ‘minutes. In the matter of the joint indict- ment against Owens and Horan and ‘the indictment against Hussey Judge Talley held that Decker, the chief . Prosecuting witness, was an accom- Plice and that his testimony was un- supported. “An employee of an insurance com- pany,” said Judge Talley, “who Knowingly and without request or so- licitation, pays a reward to any police ‘ sted is culpably implicated in the 3 ang Police officer of any rank with fan itching palm is a menace to the fommunity. To no less degree is the ‘eorporation or individual that pays Policemen without solicitation or ‘cvercion” * In the matter of the indictment Which charged Owens with devoting @ Tecovered car to bis own uses, Judge Talley held that the offense ‘is not indictable, because it repre- sents only a violation of department rules and is a matter of departmental | discipline, Judge Talley also held that Mr. _ Whitman, by the manner in which he — uestions to witnesses, influenced Grand Jury.
