THE TESTIMONY PRODUCED

The lamp and watch committee of the
Borough Council met in the Council
chamber Saturday night to investigate the
charges made at the last meeting of Council
by Councilman Gable against Chief of
Police Tosh and Patrolman Walaitis It
it believed from the result of the investiga-
tion that the committee will make report
in favor of the accused officers.
The investigation was attended by
Messrs Gaffigan, Kerns and D. r. James.
members of the committee, Councilman
Gable, Joseph Temple, who was the
informer, and the accused policemen.
Temple stated that on the night in ques-
tion he drank beer out of the same keg in
the Columbia brewery from which Tosh
and Walaitis received beer, and that the
officers drank three glasses each. He said
he stood but ten feet from the officers, but
they did not see him, and that the beer was
handed out by a man named Clark an en-
ploye of the brewery.
Clark was sent for and appeared. He
denied every part of Temples story and
said he saw Tosch at the brewery several
times but not at the time stated by Temple
Once Tosh called him from bed to attend
horse which was sick, and another time
Tosh called on legal business
Councilman Gable asked the character of
the legal business and Clark refused to
state it,
Temple said his reason for reporting the
officers was because Tosh had reported that
some of the firemen were drunk at the
recent big fire.
Clark said the police never got drink of
beer at the brewery that he knew of.
Policemen Tosh and Walaitis emphati-
cally denied the charge. The former said
he courted the fullest investigation that it
was possible for the committee to make.
He asked if there were objections to the
police taking drink, or two glasses of
beer and said he would swear that Temple
never saw him take glass of beer either
in the brewery, or any other place in the
county
Chief Tosh now has his war paint on and
says the police would like to know if the
P. & R. c. & 1. Co. keeps men to watch
the police, and if men employed by it drink
free beer while in their working clothes
and should be at work on the night shift,
