New Britain herald., 1921-10-11
OUR APOLOGY"

columns of that paper this morning, a perversion that is evident to Her. ald readers who have been reading the columns of this paper for the past week. For the benefit of those who have not we might state that The Herald printed, Saturday evening, ] statement from Charles Giardino. The following morning that paper printed an article, a blind one, in- that the managing editor of The Herald and his paper was to be investigated. Last evening, in answer we printed a statement that The Her. aid had secured the interview in ques- ton from Giardino.
 Appeared in The Courant this morn ing this delicious bit of evasion:
 Unfortunate Break
 An unusual feature of the ex- : posture which was not on the
 schedule was an unfortunate story
 printed Saturday in the New
 bTlldlll IlCIdlu WIllCn
 to show in large headings that
 the Gardini brothers, who had
 confessed to the state, had denied
 that they had confessed. The ar
 ticle attempted to show in an in
 terview that the Gardinis did not
 know McAuliffe, who is alleged to have been bribed by the pair.
 States Attorney Alcorn said yes-
 tcrday that the story in the New
 Britain Herald was untrue. State
 police investigation established < the fact that the article was with aoGt foundation and although re- .aretable would cause the state
 little enbarrassment as it's circu-
 lation was more or less limited.
 The state police learned that the
 garbled information was secured
 ut second hand. The incident will
 Ec considered closed if further
 confessions secured by the state
 authorities are not denied by the
 New Britain paper, it was said by
 the state police yesterday. The
 New Britain Hcrald carried a
 two-column display article as an
 apology in it's issue yesterday in
 which an attempt was made to
 justify tho interview which the
 state has termed to be fabrica-
 ton. The Gardinis have told the
 states attorney that what they
 told him in the Hartford county jail holds good, the story in the New Britain paper to the con- trary notwithstanding.
 TT aR !, io1 was not on the schedule" we sup pose, was the fact that The Heral spoke out of turn, treading on tn toes of the zealous Courant. Tn Herald attempted to show nothin it simply printed Giardino's state ment, as it got it. State authoritie may or may. not be responsible fc the statement that The Herald stor was untrue. Upon that we cannc speak, but we do know that no or has approached us to learn how tt printed interview was obtained. Tn ! circulation of The Heralds story WE imited-to New Britain and its CT virons, wherein The Herald enjoys concentrated circulation, and an CT lhanced prestige since the jealous ar fanatic attacks of the Hartford col temporary. The state police may hay information that the "garbled" inte view was obtained second-hand-Tf Courant so states. Undoubtedly Il police believe that it was, we are n questioning the integrity of any men ,ar of that force. We assume tn lThe Herald is to be restained fro p.inr1ng the news, in our reading .s,he Courant article which explain refrain from interviews, which wou conflict with what The Courant h printed. The apology sentence, conclusion, which The Courant stat the State of Connecticut has term our story of Saturday evening to
 a fabrication may be read and shoU of our apology" which appeared
 last evenings paper, in mind. l.; nights front page editorial was
 apology anG. even though The Coura has said that the State has fou Saturday evenings interview to be fabrication" we stand upon both { ticIes as printed-not as either, p; Iicularly the last, has been distort in The Courant.
 The Hartford paper has so mix its own conclusions with the allee statements of the state officials that is difficult to separate the sense of article. we have stood trial for
 offense, we have not been question as to our interview with Giardino,
 have been tried and found guilty
 the Hartford paper. An inane a
