INSPECTOR GIDMAN FIX
 ONERATED OF CHARGES
Continued from page Il

Continued from page D
 1919, Herbert w. Grant had an au- tomobile accident while coming down Jacobs Ladder in the town of Chester, Mass, and, in reporting that accident to the state automo- bile department, he stated that the foot brakes of the automobile didn't t hold for approximately one-half mile before the accident. Chief Inspec- tor Gidman was sent to inspect the truth of that statement and also to make an examination of the brakes on the cars owned and operated by said Grant as jitneys.
 Inspectors Philip Devenew and James M. Ellis of the state automo- bile department were present in the office or garage during all of the con- versation between Gidman and Mir. and Mrs. Grant.
 The statement as to the Idistance when the foot brakes didn't hold be- fore the accident on Jacobs Ladder made by Herbert W. Grant and filed with the commissioner of motor ve- hicles was false, and as result of the investigation of the brakes on the cars belonging to Herbert w. Grant, his tlicense and markers were taken away from him.
 The. discussions in which it was claimed the profane language was used took place after Grant had de- nied he had signed the statement on file with the state automobile de- partment,-that the foot brakes didn't hold for approximately one half mile before the accident on Jacobs Ladder,-and Gidman tele- | phoned to the automobile depart ment and had Grants statement read to him.
 Grant admits on this hearing that such statement was false and that he knew it was false when he was dis cussing the question with Gidman, for Grant had in his possession at that time sketch showing that the distance from the time the foot brakes wouldn't hold to the point ot the accident was about 1000 feet.
 The evidence of Herbert W. Grant on his direct examination contained no statement of any profane Ian. ,guage used by MT. Gidman and his only complaint was, that he thought Gidman was a Massachusetts off cial. On cross-examination he ad l mitted that he knew Inspector James M. Ellis who was in the uni form of the department at the time and he knew that Ellis was an in

The following letter has led us ks think that perhaps some others noticed the absence of matter in our swn private column last week, so She letter is published, after which we shall endeavor to patch up the injured feelings of our esteemed read G or readers, as the case might be. Dear Editor:
 I received the News today and feel obliged to put up a little kick. Perhaps you were never told and are not aware that you can write quite a nice editorial and I always look for them, but today I was dis } appointed. Nothing in the editorial column but sort of memoir of some western governor. Now you want t0 brace up, take little tonic il necessary to get up the ambition (not wood alcohoD and give us ar editorial worthy of your reputation
 Very truly yours, o. P. C.

spector in the state automobile de- partment.
 Thorngren and Mrs. Grant testi- fled that Gidman said he is lucky if he keeps his damn soul, but on De- cember 6, 1919, both of these wit nesses in their affidavit swore that the language used by Gidman in this connection was, "He is lucky if he keeps his soul," and this language was used by Herbert W. Grant, in the same affidavit and also on his direct examination. These two wit nesses also testified that after Gid man had been shown the signatures of the occupants of the car at the time of the accident he said, "It isn't worth a damn" In direct conflict with this testimony is the evidence of Herbert W. Grant on this point who, on being asked by his attorney what Gidman said on being shown this paper replied, He told me that it was worthless, that the signatures were no good, and Grant being ask ed, did he use any profane language replied, ''I wouldn't say that he did"
 The testimony of Gustave Carlin amounted to nothing as evidence be- yond the fact that he was present in the garage during the discussion. He testified that he heard no profanity, and that when he swore to the affi- davit it was only to the facts within his own knowledge. that he was able to testify to.
 The witnesses for Gidman, con- sisting of himself and Inspectors Devenew and Ellis, gave evidence F direct contradiction of the state nent made by Mrs. Grant and Thorngren, and was to the effect that 10 profanity was used by Gidman at my time during the discussion, and hat the investigation was conducted in an orderly and business-like man Ter. .-.. ..
 The attorney representing Her bert w. Grant did not cross-examine any of these witnesses as to the truth of their statements. No testi- mony was given by any witness to support the statement in the affida- vit that Gidman used profane Ian guage and was boisterous and in sulting to Mrs. Grant.
 It is the duty of public servants under all circumstances to be cour- teous and fair while representing the state in their official capacity, and that iss the standard l have ap- piled in arriving at my judgment on the merits of this case.
 I have examined the evidence with considerable care, and I am unable to arrive at any other conclusion than that the affidavit charging Yer ner F. Gidman with misfeasance in 1 office or using profanity while in the discharge of his official duties was not made in good faith for the bet terment of the public service, but was made to gratify the malice of Herbert W. Grant, who sought in this way to injure the reputation of Werner F. Gidman as a public offi- cial. t

is diplomat, is beyond question. He starts with boost and ends with a kick, and which to heply to has set us to thinking so hard that we'd have brain fever if we had any brains that would properly house such an affiction. I guess we had better re- ply to the ''kick" part of it and let it go at that.
 The News force carried is just large enough to properly get out each edition under normal condi- tions and when one of the force gets so foolish as to become i'll, why the editor has to jump in and do that persons work in addition to his own. Such was the case last week, when our operator was sick, and conse- quently some part of this family journal had to suffer. However if we had known that the lack of our personal views in this column would cause disappointment to any of our readers, we would certainly have worked little later nights than we did to supply this demand.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
$50 Laurel St., Hartford
 Feb. 23, 1920.

LCO' HOJ AOEV' Dear Editor:-
 It was with a heart throb that I read in the News this evening the appreciation expressed by the people of Falls Village relative to the un- selfish ministration of Dr. Adam to their community. : We who have known him as schoolmate, friend, physician, and man feel that this praise is we'll merited and we should not wait until we have worked him to death and engrave it on his tomb stone.
 Though perhaps against his wishes we want to "Tell it to him now" In these times when the world seems to be suffering from money madness and every other mania, Canaan may well be proud to number among her citizens man who is willing to spend himself for his fellows.
 pr. Adam renders to his commun- ity priceless service which can only be transmitted from heart to heart.
 Very sincerely yours,
 Chas. A. Beaujon.

That the State Fish and Game Commission has done untold good M the propagation and preservation af wild life in this state, goes with szt saying. The commission has an arch enemy, however, in the form sf old man Winter that can undo nearly all the good accomplished in years, in few months unless the farmers and others take some action
 The unusually deep snow crusted with a coat of ice that is practically Mnpenetrable with shovel, has probably covered a large number of tfae partridge family, meaning death
 Pheasants are likewise affected and even the hardy and saucy English sHarrows have been found dead in more numerous instances than in several years. Deer have suffered considerably, not alone from the deep snow, but from dogs that could Fun on top of the crust while the heavier deer broke through and Roundered helplessly at their mercy.
 Many people would gladly take grain to the woods and scatter it in sheltered places, if they gave the mkatter thought.

 Two Harbors, Minn. To the Editor of the News:
 MT. Editor, what do you think about Lord Grey's visit to this country. I will tell you what I think about it. To me it looks like a piece of cute English diplomacy, or a bit of devilish skullduggery. Anyhow it seems to me like a piece of supreme impudence in England, in sending him over at this present time to consult and f1irt with the Lodge gang, for I notice that every diplomat or other representative from other lands is always trying to put over something for the bene- fit of his own beloved land, and believe the friends of the United States in other lands are only half hearted friends at best, and I have always thought so. :.
 Every nation in the world thinks this country is growing and pro- gressing too fast to suit their ideas There is a reason the little stars in the sky are jealous of the sun and moons more brilliance and larger light. You may apply. any meaning you like to this saying. have of ten thought that the saying, hands across the sea, looks good in the papers but would advise one to be Americas best friend, and all the time.
