STATE POLICEMAN MITCHELL
 REMAINS UNDER SUSPENSION

State Policeman Thomas Mitchell, who is well known in this city, has been con tinued under suspension, but State Po- liceman Anthony Tomanio has been ex- onerated from blame by meeting of the
 state " police commission at Hartford Monday to conclude its investigation of the Thanksgiving Day automobile acci-
 dent in which Tomanio. Mitchell and young woman were injured when the
 state police department automobile driven by Tomanio colliced with a one. man trolley car in Hartford.
 The result of these deliberations by the 1 state police commission was embodied in | a statement issued by the commission in i which it was told for the first time, that
 Tomania and Mitchell had been suspend ed from the department following the accident. The statement of the commits sion follows: |'rA
 l '"The- state police commission at It's I session today had under consideration the 1 matter of the accident on Thanksgiving evening in which Officers Mitchell and To- manic were Concerned. The commission concluded that the accident to the car was not due to the negligence on the part of either officer.
 "As to the conduct of the officers in other phases of the incident, Mitchell is
 
 to appear before the commission. His suspension from the force will continue
 until he can be heard.
 "Tomanio, who was also suspended t now reinstated the commission not beina
 able to find that he was guilty of suci conduct as would justify or call for hi!
 removal" .s
 Although the statement says tha Mitchell is still confined at St. Francis hospital, it is understood that he Is able t.
 leave the Institution for his daily consti tutional. Several persons it is under
 stood. nave seen Mitchell walking abou : the city AS Mi chell suffered fractur of the skull it is hardly. likely that h . will be in condition to explain his pres ence in the automobile for some time t come. Last week the commission held meeting at tte capitol. but no action wa = taken at that time. Those who testified before the commis , sion were Superintendent Egan, Captai , Robert T. Hurley and Tomanio. Tomani left the hospital some time ago and ha | spent some time in the quarters of th . state police department at the ca2ito but there had been no announcement tha :. he and Mitchell had been suspended.
