With the Commissioners.

Mr.. Wilton J. Lambert, attorney for Pri-
vate Joseph L. elliott of the police force,
who was recently tried on charges of con-
duct unbecoming an officer and recon-
mended for dismissal by Maj. Sylvester, in
compliance with recommendation of the
trial board. today filed brief with the
Commissioners in behalf of his client. Gill
lott was accused of INDUCING in boastful
talk as to his influence and ability to Sc
cure position on the police force and in the
fire department.
The finding Of the trial board was not
guilty on the specific charges, but the
board declared that under the circum-
stances it did not think elliott should re-
main member of the force.
Mr.. Lambert claims q large number Of
witnesses were allowed to testify without
regard to rules of evidence. He declares
that even with this policy of admitting
everything. the evidence adduced failed to
sustain any of the charges preferred. Re-
ferring to the verdict of the trial board
which was not guilty. but that the de-
PENDANT should be dismissed Mr.. Lambert
says:
This addenda is to the effect that. not
outstanding the man was proven to be
an atmosphere had pervaded the situation
from collateral matters which induced the
conclusion that If not upon the charges,
upon general principles he should be found
guilty and his official head should be taken
Off. This Is as a matter Of fact, tanta-
defendant. who might be on trial for
murder, is not guilty Of murder. but that
they believe on general principles. he
should be hanged
Mr.. Lambert suggests that II the Commits
soners have any doubt as to the view
TAKEN the matter should be referred to the
corporation counsel.
