Thompson Committee
Hears Police Records

Kingsbury's their wires were tapped
To understand the appended converse
tons which appear just as they were
given by Police Commissioner Woods
TO the Mayor-a word about the method
in which the police are said TO have
recorded them is necessary.
When at their overlapping station
the police received a signal on their
eavesdropping machine that one of the
tapped wires was in use one OF the OPP
orators would listen in. He would as
sumo that the voice on one end Of the
wire was that of-this is cited merely
as an example TO eXplain-Father Far
rell and that on the other end Mon
signor Dunn. Then he would record
what he supposed he heard on slate.
He would later transcribe il TO paper,
and then il would be typewriter and
given to either Mr.. Hotchkiss or Mr.
kingsbury.
The suspected ones learned their
wires were being tapped by the ques-
tons asked tnesses-questions, as
one Of them put it at the time-no one
but some one listening to the telephone
conversations could know.
Only Eight Days Talks Given.
The period Of the telephone CONVEX
sations which the Mayor says the police
overheard covered several weeks. Only
a period running over eight days was
revealed yesterday. This, the Mayor
said, was proof that the tapping Of the
wires was justified.
In most instances the name OF the
person first mentioned in the converse
tions is the one who put in the call. A
striking example of the contrary is in
a conversation alleged TO have taken
place between "a woman, supposed TO
be Mother Superior of Dominican Sis
ters." and Dr. Potter. In this instance
the police record shows that DR.. Pot
ter called up the house where the
Mother Superior was-Telephone No.

that while the acts of the chief of OPP

duties of the chief of operations should
be fixed by law beyond the power of a

change or practically abolish. At pres
