"Baby Doll" Case.

Bridgeport.-A sharp clash between
Detect1ve-Captain Edward o. Cronan
and Police Sergeant James Burns over
the question Of responsibility for the
murder of Norris Pannill, sole victim
OF Sundays "Baby Doll" riot, was an
interesting side issue of Coroner Phe-
lan's Investigation.
Taking exception to statements re-
peatedly made by Captain Cronan,
blaming the police for the killing,
Sergeant Burns called upon the ex-
ecutive head of the detective bureau
and asked him why he was accusing
members Of the force when he had
no proof in support Of his claims.
Captain Cronan replied that what
he had said was perfectly proper, and
an argument ensued, In the course of
which Sergeant Burns severely criti-
cised his superior officer for the at
titude he had taken. He told him
that it was not right of him to have
blamed the police before having heard
their side Of the story.

perintendent John II. Redgate entered
Captain Cronan's Office, and without
make comment of any kind, he turned

TRADE and walked out
