George Bowen. business agent of the Machinists' union, and one of the speakers arrested yesterday in 9 fenced in lot on Seaside Court, near the Locorn nobile conpany's plant re- called today his conversation of Mon day with Mayor Wilson when with other labor leaders he sought to gain permission to speak on the public thorougI1fare of Henry street.
 When I was told by the mayor that it was against the regulations Eof the city, asked the mayor to point out any specific paragraphsfn the or dinances or the statutes which pro- hibited freedom of speech
 The mayor said at the time that he was positive such a regulation was in effect Our attorneys had searched authority but were unable to find such an ordinance and I so told Mayor Wilson. I therefore asked him par ticularly to inform me where such regulation was to be found. The mayor, however, did not do so.ss

 ed Tells of Permit.

David Apstein, a confectionery deal CT at 1925 Pembroke street, the agent for Seaside court, where the speakers were arrested yesterday told a report CT for the Evening Farmer today:
 Seaside court, so-called, is private property owned by an out-of-town in- vestor in no way connected with manufacturing interests, for whom I am the sole agent in this city.
 ''On Wednesday of last week George Bowen, agent of the Machinists union in this city, visited me and told me that he wanted, to hold an. open air meeting in the rear of the big block.
 .This lot is all fenced in, is private property, and the court-way leading past the front of the block is private roadway maintained under my charge Y When I was assured that the meet ing was merely to be one where ad- dresses were to be made, and I was assured that there would be no dis tl1rbance. I granted written pernais- sion to the union to hold their meet ings there.
 T am greatly surprised to learn of the arrests for had. not heard that there had been any disturbanoe of any kind in the neighborhood until the police arrived yesterday. had in tended being present myself but other things kept me away at noontime.'

During the court proceedings the room was closed to1alI spectators who could not prove that they were wit nesses or principals in the case. The experience of man in the police and charities department building was re- lated by Martin Tillstrom, a toolmak- er residing at 287 Ellsworth street, who returned to machinists headauar- ters with his coat torn at the sh ouldef. to see what was going to happen found about fifteen other machfnists gathered in the hallway. They told me that the court room was filled and I could not get in. A motorcycle po- Hceman seemed to be on guard at one doorway while a big officer in uniform was at the main doorway. could see two or three vacant seats in the back of the court so started to go through the doorway.
 .'The big officer asked me if was I told him that was d workman and a, citizen of Bridgeport for the past sixteen years.

 MT Bowen, he characterized as one of our honest, upright and conscien- tious citizens. He resented interfer- ence with Mr. Bowen S liberties. He said the state had failed to display one ingredient of the essentials neces- sary to the commission of the crime with which the men are charged. He said the same of MT. Cederho1n.
 The city charter of 1906 was then brought in by the state, to show that the mayor has the right to cause ar rests without warrants and incarcera- ton in city prison for 24 hours of any person when he believes the law has been violated.

 After the hearing the men said they would appeal if the case went against them, Nelson said a suit for false ar rest would probably be made. Attor- Iney Lavery said he hadn't considered lthat yet.
 MT. Bowen wished to get an injune- tino to restrain the police from in- terfering with a meeting today, but there was not time. so it was decided not to make the case more conpli- Icated by causing further arrests. J
