result Captain Harry Traughber

The investigation brought out
the fact that the witnesses were

rested their case on an absolute
denial of the charges which might

Traughber come forward with his
story, which bore out the charges

seemed to go out of their way to
prove that johnson was the only
man at the station who did any
drinking but their statements were
not borne out. Through a typo
graphical error yesterday it was
stated in the Press that 1t was tes-
tifltd that johnson had been drunk
on duty. What was admitted by
johnson was that he had drunk
while in the station and there was
one direct charged his drinking
beer brought to the station by Ed
ward furnish.
Johnson was shown to be some
thing of trouble maker at the va
rious stations. He comes from the
Kentucky mountains where few in
suits go unavenged and it was his
refusal to bear the insults heaped
upon him by him fellow workers
that brought about the investiga
ton.
Captain Traughber saved himself
from dismissal from the depart
ment only through his 10 years Of
service on the department, and the
fact that when he took the stand he
told the truth concerning the trou
bles at the station. The result
will be a gtneral shaking up in the
various stations, particularly on the
point Of keeping loafers away al
they are indirectly blamed for mos
of the bad conditions at No. 8 sta
ton.
