INQUIRY into STOTT.
ORDER IS DROPPED
Police Captains Explanation
of "Shoot to Kill" Incident
Held Satisfactory.

Investigation of statements alleged
to have been made by Capt. William
G. Stott Of the Fourteenth Precinct
regarding instructions given by him
to a policeman authorizing the latter
Ito shoot and shoot to kill If neces.
sary" when in danger of death at
the hands Of motorist driving an
automobile at him, has ended favor
ably to Capt. Stott, it was announced
yesterday by Maj. Edwin B. Hesse.
The investigation was launched
after the trial of Policeman B. r.
Campbell by the Police Trial Board,
on charge Of improper use of his
pistol in connection with the fatal
shooting of Larry Hall near Soldiers
Home several weeks ago.
Witness for Defense.
Campbell summoned Stott as a de.
Tense witness. On the stand Attorney
Robert Z. Lynch asked categorical
questions as to instructions given by
Stott to Policeman L. M. Francis of
the Tenth Precinct while Campbell
was present. Stott testified that he
had instructed Francis he was author
lied to shoot and shoot to kill if
necessary to protect his life. The in
cident alluded to was shortly after
Francis narrowly escaped being pur.
posely run down by a bootlegger.
In his letter explaining his testi.
mony Stott pointed out that the in
struction Campbell heard him give
Francis was intended to apply only to
the particular case Francis explained
to him and was not 1t general instruc.
ton to policemen. Stott also explained
in the letter that he was summoned
to appear before the trial board and
did not volunteer the testimony, al.
though he was forced to respect the
summons served on him.
Explanation Held Satisfactory.
In view of the fact that the counsel
given by Stott to Francis in that
particular case was merely q reason

regulation that policemen may use
their pistols in most urgent cases"
Of self defense or when circumstances
justify such use, Maj. Hesse said that
the explanation was satisfactory and
that the investigation would proceed
no further, unless additional COM
plants were put before him, meriting
further probing.

Norris Case Sir vs. Dam
ger That Lies in Base
{ less Fear.
By M. r. Tracy

The trial of j. Frank Norris at
Austin, Texas, draws rapidly to a
close. 1t is one of those cases which
attracts attention because of the per-
sons involved rather than the crime.
There is nothing about crime to
make 1t interesting. If the slayer
were not a prominent minister of
the Gospel and if the man whom he
killed had not been a prominent citi.
zen the affair would have been dis
posed of like a thousand other
shooting scrapes."
1t was to air intents and purposes
tragedy of the imagination. Both
men were scared over nothing
Chipps of what Norris had said, and
Norris because of what he thought
Chipps was going to do.
What Norris said didn't amount to
a row Of pins, and Chipps appears
to have been unarmed.
Groundless fear plays a terrific
part in human life. Nations fly at
each others throats because of it,
religious sects promote strife and In
dividuals do what they would give
their lives to undo moment after.
