Says He Was Not COmpen-
sated for Papers MutilatiOn

the flames and destroyed is the fate OF
a $500 prize winning lottery ticket

OF much inquiry at police headquarters.

Police Judge Mortimer Smith to-day
after hearing the proceedings on a
search warrant sworn out by John
Perry, from whom the ticket was tak@n
Iy the rolice.
The testimony Of Chief Hodgkins
was in line with his official statement
10 the Police Commissioners male scV-
eraI weeks ago. Hodgkins declared he
permitted agents Of the comDany to
t5ke the ticket, supposing they Intend
ed me.ely to stamp a canceling mark
on Il. When ID. Bibbero. manager ct
tire company, quickly tore out the num-
hers. the Chief exclaimed:
MY God, what have you done?"

Hodgkins. that this was the way the
company cancelled its dead tickets

Wolfe, attorney for the lottery com
pany, corroborated Hodgkins The

paid TO him either directly or indirect
ly in the matter. State Senator G. R.
LUkens also appeared as counsel for
the lottery company. Attorney L. 5.

fense and says he desires an early
hearing.
No action has been taken by the
Commissioners as TO a possible sue
cessor TO Chief of Police Hodgkins in
case he should be relieved Of his pres
ent position. Conferences among the
Commissioners have resulted only in
a decision that all charges against the
Chief must first be cleared up one way
or another before further steps can be
taken ii Hodgkins expresses a de-
sire TO step out and take his old posi-
tion Of detective the request will un-
dOubtedly be granted by the board in
