to prepare his QefenSe; ne was aTralQ that the full facts would come out.
 MT O'NeiH stood up then and ac- cused MT Hunt of having said that he owned the board ''body and soul" MT Hunt denied having said or intimated any such thing, but Mir O'Neill claimed he did Tn his statement that one of his partners had fixed it with the board. Everybody is we'll aware that lawyers have a free and easy way of saying things to each other, and MT O'Nelll would remind MT Hunt that not long ago one of the strikeibreakers who was arrested in Naugatuck told the police man that he, the strike-Dreaker, was all right any way, because Judge Peasley was back ot him. MT ONelll continued for some time on this state ment of MT Hunts. Having that ols- posed of, he said Mansfield could not do the work of half dozen policemen and if he was charged with not haVlhg dispersed the crowds that gather around the factory doors on South Main street at noon, that was one thing, put if the crowds gathered there at any ( | it was another thing. If Mansfield paid all his attention to the trolley cars and none to the crowds he may nave been derelict or used bad judgment. In closing MT O'Neill asked that the charges be made to say whether or not 1 Mansfield was charged with violating city ordinance, a local law or a state l law.
 Commissioned Hardie resented MT l Hunts intimation about the board, l and MT Guilfoile stated that he had made no such remark as MT Hunt claimed had been made. Attorney J.. J. O'Neiu said he it was who made the remark, but he was merely 1oshlng MT Hunt" and in fact, not later than yesterday morning told MT Hunt the board would certainly throw the charges in the waste tsket, but it was said in 'joshing." Chairman Lahey l thereupon reproYed MT Hunt for the remark and the board withdrew to eX- ecutiye session. Upon reappearing they stated the motion was granted. 1t was then agreed that the specified charges should be filed not later than o'clock Friday afternoon, and the board will begin the hearing next Mon- l day afternoon at o'clock. The com plalnant has fourteen or fifteen wit nesses. The charges against the other policemen will not be filed until the case against Mansfield is disposed of.

 moved fhat the chief be instructed tc
 stop the game on Sundays. Commis- I sioner Hardfe said this would be a I good time to ask the board of aldermen
 for ten more policemen. There was

 was carried.
 David McRoberts communicated
 with the board relative to a fire whicf

 his life in the fire but for the gooG J work of fireman whose name he die
 not learn until a few days ago. Tht
 fireman is William Mccarthy, stationed

 the law to him.
