comment as he wanted to make on 1t
as a dicipliF1ary measure"
Maj Pratt's testimony came to an
abrupt end at IL o'clock. AS he arose
to leave the witness stand he asked
Prosecutor Lynch whether 1t would be
all right for him to leave the hearing
room.
II think you had better. stay" re-
piled Mr.. Lynch, adding, I'VE rest"
Mr.. Fowler. Doyle's attorney, then
addressed the board. declaring that
since Mai. Pratt had admitted that he
did not consider Capt. Doyles letter
disrcspectful to him personally, the
charge contained in the specifications
had not been sustained.
1T should not be necessary" he de-
clared, "for the defense to call any
witnesses. / move that the charge be
dismissed"
The Trial Board took Fowler's motion
under advisement, and Wampler then
proceeded with the defense, taking up
first the third specification under the
general charge against Doyle-that the
accused officers communication to Maj.
Pratt clearly indicated INSTRUMENTATION
and diSrespect" toward his superior.
Opening law book, the lawyer read
definition of INSTRUMENTATION as con-
shutting diSobedience to constituted au-
thority. THE term implies" Fowler
said. interposing the remark that what
he was to read next was very impor-
tant, intentional, willful diSobedience."
Next he referred to a dictionary and
read the definition of "disobedient."
Claims DIsrespect Not Meant.
snow what is the law with respect
to contempt" he continued taking up
another legal text book. Blackstone
held that II the accused deny any in
tent to be subordinate there can be no
further proceeding and the charge must
be dismissed"
In other words, Wampler argued that
intent to be disrespectful must have
been in the mind of Capt. Doyle when
he wrote his report to Maj. Pratt,
whereas it already had been shown that
his client had denied such intent.
Wampler next referred to the second
specification in the charge-that Capt
Doyle without Justification or cause
stated that the Police Department as
whole held animosity against Policeman
Allen. He moved that this specification
be stricken out on the ground that
there was not word or sentence in his
clients report to support that allegation.
THE letter says that the Police De-
partment should forget any petty ami
mosities 1t may cherish against Allen"
Wampler declared, but 1t does not
state as fact that the Police Depart
ment cherishes animosities against the
policeman. Thus the proof alleged in
the specification does not support that
which is alleged. Capt. Doyle did not
say that any single member of the de-
partment cherishes amnesty against
that man Allen. He said may cher
ish.' The charge, however, asserts that
the poltca nenz rtnnpOt did hold AMI
mosities against Allen"
The first and only remaining specifi-
cation in the charges, which alleged
that Capt. Doyle showed disrespect to
q superior in supporting Allen in his
threat to investigate the United States
attorneys ONCE, was then taken up by
Fowler.
