PRISONERS SHOULD NOT
 BE KEPT IN PEW
Those Represented by At torneys Should Be AL
 lowed in Court Room

Methods of the New Britain police department in not allowing people taken Into custody to furnish immedi- ate bonds and in placing convicted men in the dock or 'pen," as 1t is more commonly known. when they are the represented by attorneys. were flayed by Attorney William Mangan in fiery attack in police court this morning. Attorney Mangan objected to one of his clients, who was fined $15, being placed in the dock and not being allowed to sit in open court until the session was over and he could pay his fine.
 The attorney said that the police have no right to put the men in the dock. He said, 'This is the same situ- alton that prevailed here last Saturday when men were taken down and lock- ed up when they could have secured bonds, so that the police could use their own method of punishment. When men have a lawyer they have a right to furnish bonds"
 Chief William c. Hart was in the courtroom at the time and asked Judge B. W. filling If he might say few words. He stated that there Is a ruling Tn the New Britain court that when a man is fined he is to be put in the dock. He said that 1t saves the court clerk much trouble at the end of the session by not forcing him to look all over the room for the con- victed men.
 To this remark Attorney Mangan asked why another client of his, who was also fined. was not placed in the dock. He continued by saying that in the superior court at Hartford there are men who arc fined thousands of dollars who are never placed in a dock.
 Judge filling asked Mangan if he was willing to assume responsibility for this man to which the latter re- piled, Absolutely" The client was allowed to remain in the courtroom and was removed from the dock.
