WITHDREW COMPLAINT
WITHOUT GOOD CAUSE
Winski Denies Crapsho0ting.
Verdict Is Discussed in
Executive Session.

Chancemen John Peto and Charles
Winski, of the Belleville police depart
ment, were given hearings before
the police committee of that town last
night on charges of conduct unbe-
coming police officers, preferred by
Chief Of Police Flynn at the last
meeting. Similar charges had been
made against Chanceman Harry Coey-
man, but Chairman ]. w. Hirdes an
nounced that Coeyman's counsel had
requested thai this hearing be deferred
until the next meeting, and This was
done. The committee went into execu-
tive session after hearing the testi-
mons In tho other two cases.
Chanceman Peto "a called first. 1t
was alleged by Chief Flynn that Peto
had become involved In a fight while
on duty in Silver Lake and had lost
his helmet In the melee. When the
man with whom he was fighting was
arrested and later arraigned before
Justice Of the Peace John C. La
Faucherie Peto withdrew the com
plant.
Peto admitted that he had made a
mistake In withdrawing the complaint
against the man. When asked IL he
duiiiIlt6u that llta liza S6 iloot Wy
the chief was justified he answered in
the affirmative.
Winsld was accused OF having been
in a crowd while c~rapshooting was
going on in Silver Lake. When police
officers approached he ran off, 1t was
alleged. He declared that he had never
shot crap in his life. Chief Flynn said
he had not accused him of shooting
crap, but of running away with the
crowd when he and Policeman Will
lam Deane approached. The CHEZ
handed Chairman Hirdes some letters,
which, he said. would show what Win
ski was doing with his police badge
in other places.
Township Counsel Andrew l.. Boylan
asked il the letters had any bearing
on the case beisg heard. The chief
answered that they had not, and
Chairman Hirdes said the committee
would keep the letters, but would not
let them be read.
Thomas Berry, of Silver Lake, put
in a plea for Winski. saying he had
known him for a long time. He had
seen crap-shooting in his neighborhood
but never saw Winski playing. 1t was
a matter of common knowledge that
Winski had arrested a man for shoot
ing crap. Chief Flynn repeated hi:
statement that he did not accuse the
chanccman of shooting crap. Police.
mar Deane corroborated the testimony
of the chief.
There were sixteen arrests last
month, according to he report of Chief
Flynn. The application was received
of Richard Lister for appointment as
chanceman.
