WHITE MAN HAD WATCH
PAwNBRoKER'S MEMORY CASTS CLOUD
on NEW EVIDENCE TO
FREE MASON.
MISS MPHEE-s WATCH TAKEN TO SAME
SHOP BY SAME MAE-PROPRIEToR

Boston Nov. 6-The developments to-day in
the case OF Alan G. Mason, who is under ar
rest charged with the murder last Saturday
night Of Clara Morton, a laundress. at the Nc
Lean Asylum, in Waverly, have been of a
startling nature. II was announced first that
the watch Of the victim had been found in a
Cambridge-st. pawnshop. where il had been
pawned for 81 by a young colored man. This
discovery at once led TO a general search of the
city for this by the entire police force.
Later. when the pawnbroker's memory had been
logged little and he had had time 10 think. he
remembered that the watch had been brought
TO his place last Saturday night between IL and
II 80 O'Clock by a white man and offered in
pawn As il was after business hours the pawn
broker refused to receive it. and the de-
parted. taking the watch with him.
On Monday morning the same watch was
brought in by a ooored man about twenty-one
years old of whom the pawnbroker bought it
for 81. burly colored man. evidently COM
panion Of The other, waited outside the shop
while the trade being made, and as soon as
it was finished he entered and took the money
which the proprietor had passed over Both
men then departed.
Continuing their Investigations the officers
made another startling discovery which will
have an important bearing on the case TO the
effect that the watch Of Miss Agnes McPhee Of
Somerville. another Jack the Slueger' victim,
had been pawned at the same Cambridge-st.
shop on October 3. the day after her murder. by
a white man, whose description tailed exactly
with that of the man who brought the Morton
watch 10 the pawnbrOker last Saturday night.
The pawnbrOker Will be taken Tomorrow 10 see
Mason and say whether he is the man who
brought the watch TO his shop.
Masons friends say that he can fully estab-
lish an alib Search for the mysterious colored
man is being carried on as vigorously as ever,
and all sections Of the city are being closely
watched by the police tonight
Two days ago the State police arrested Mason
on suspicion of having killed Miss Morton.
After a days investigation the authorities were
convinced that Mason could establish an alibi.
and they announced that he would be released,
but on the succeeding night witnesses We're
found who positively identified Mason as one
whom they had seen in MaVerly, where the
murder was committed on Saturday night On
the strength of the evidence yesterday war
rant charging Mason with murder was issued,
and he was held without bail until TUESDAY

CHURCHILL DISMISSED.
NEGLECT AND UNBECOMING
CONDUCT

Police Commissioner Partridge yesterday dis
missed Sergeant James Churchill from the po-
lice force. His action taken on the charges
on which Churchill was tried recently. The
charges grew out of the raids which Inspector
Cross made several months ago. when Church
i'll acting captain at the police station in
Fifth-st. In announcing his decision yesterday,
Commissioner Partridge said in part:
After maturely considering the evidence in
this case I find Cargeant James Churchill
guilty of neglect of duty and conduct unbecom-
ing officer in emitting to repress and re-
strain. or to take or use proper or effective
steps methods for depressing or restraining
unlawful disorderly conduct and practices in
the resorts and places designated in the speci-
ffcations.
The Commissioner also found Churchill guilty
on the ground that dens of vice in the precinct
had been allowed TO remain open. and on the
ground that there had been permitted violations
of the excise law at other places in the pre-
cinct
When Sergeant Churchill informed Of his
dismissal from the force, he said he thought
the decision of the Commissioner had been most
unfair. He may seek reinsta tement through
the courts.
Churchill became policeman in 1888 and he
was promoted TO be a sergeant in 1898 He was
a personal friend of Frederick S. Gibbs the
Republican leader in the IXth Assembly Dis
trict. and it understood that his advance
in the department was due mainly to the in
fluenCe of Mr.. Gibbs
Last year. after Captain Diamond and his
wardman Bissert. had been convicted and sent
off the force for permitting dens of vice to
flourish when they were in power at the Firth
st. station, Churchill as acting captain of
the precinct, made some raids and closed up
several places of bad reputation in the pre-
cinct He was in command of the precinct
when Commissioner Partridge took office. Last
spring the condition of the precinct was so bad
that Inspector Cross found no difficulty in Sc
curing evidence against many dens OF vice
there. He planned and executed raids on most
of the places. the raids all taking place on one
night. Commissioner Partridge then trans
ferred Churchill TO duty a desk sergeant,
and little later Churchill was placed on trial
charges which were prepared in the District
Attorneys Office.
Sergeant Churchill said last night at his
home:
The decision Of the Commissioner was very un-
just. l shall appeal in the regular way-through
the courts. I transferred fifteen times under
Tammany. and I've been transferred again and
again under this administration. l seem TO have
got IL both ways but my record as a policeman
speaks for itself. and stand on that.
