 50 that your relations with Pa jewski were not as friendly as you would have us believer" Attorney Monkiewicz pursued. "Oh, l would not say We were not friendly, simply because my views did not coincide with his." the chief replied.
 It was brought out through the cross examination that Pajewski told the chief about "a couple of places south of the track" which were later raided for violation of the liquor law.
 Had you known of these places before he called your attention to them ?" the attorney asked.
 Why, we had reports about a number of places" the chief an- swered.
 Attorney Monkiewicz asked the chief if Pajewski championed the cause of the police while in the com- mon council and the chief replied affirmatively.
 The attorney wanted to know if Pajewskt was at the head Of a bloc in the council responsible for de- feating g proposed 10 per cent cut in the wages of the police. including the chiefs salary. Chief Hart re- piled that he did not know that Pa- lewski was the leader in the move ment. as there were several other members who helped defeat the measure.
 Policemen We're Pajcwski's Friends There are a number of members of the police department who are friendly with Pajewsk. are there not?" the attorney asked.
 "They were friendly" the chief corrected. with emphasis on the sec- ond word.

 In reply to Attorney Monkiewicz the chief said he had mortgages on his two houses in New Britain and in 1925 he invested $1,00o in real estate in Sanford. Fla. "That was all lost" he remarked.
 Knew Pajcwskt for IS Years
 "How long have you known Mir Pajewski?" Attorney Monkiewtcz asked.
 "Oh. IS years, should say: since shortly after he came to New Brit ain." the chief answered.
 You know he was in the com mon council as an alderman?" the attorney asked.
 "Yes, sir" the chief answered. Tn reply to the attorney the chief said his relations with Pajewski had all ways been of the friendliest.
 Were you surprised when this thing happened?" the chief was asked.
 Y certainly was." the chief an- swered.
 Taking up the matter of obtain ing the evidence against Pajewski's drug store. the chief said the off, cer in charge of the liquor squad told him he had a man who claim ed to be able to buy liquor in drug stores and the chief told the officer to proceed. Two purchases at Pa jewski's place were made before the chief knew of it, because he was out of the city for a day or so at one time. Asked by Attorney Mon- kiewicz If 1t was a fact that he al- ways saw agents" before they were employed by the police department. the chief replied that he generally saw them first.

 Stewart Not Worrying
 This latest claim of victory gives me no concern" Colonel Stewart said. Tn the ensuing four weeks be- tween now and the annual meeting. the stockholders will more clearly understand the situation"
 The Aldrich statement was the first definite claim made since MT. Rockefeller began soliciting proxies with which to vote Colonel Stewart out of the chairmanship and direc- torate of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana after Colonel Stewart had refused to resign.
 Rockefeller demanded the resig- nation as result of his displeasure with Colonel Stewards testimony be- fore the senate committee investi- gating the Teapot Dome oil leases and the affairs of the Continental Trading company.
 Pleased With Results
 Colonel Stewart said in his state- ment that he had had a most satis- factory stay in New York and that the results had been most encourag- ing.
 Regarding the action of Julius ROsenwald of the Scars Roebuck company of Chicago who had writ ten to friends urging them to sup port the Rockefeller interests, Col onel Stewart said:
 MT. Rosenwald is not a stock holder and his connection with MT. Rockefeller is we'll known. His statements show a lack of informa- tion."
 Among important clements in the strength Colonel Stewart will mar shal at the meeting ill Whiting. Ind. his supporters point to 44.00O shares owned by the Sun Life Insurance company of Montreal and 12.000 shares said to be held by John Eagles of Los Angeles.

day you said you had no property in Miami and today you say you own property in Sanford. Did you ask mo before court today to have that cleared up!"
 'I did," the chief replied.

 He goes along as though he were . superior being and had something on me that he was going to push through" the chief answer ed.
 Another evidence of malice on Gardiner's part, the chief said, was seen in a letter Gardiner wrote to the New Britain Herald in which he criticized the chief for assuming credit for 8 Lafayette street raid when as a matter of fact the police were slow and had not acted until the federal authorities had informa- ton in the matter.
 Late yesterday afternoon. Leon- ard told of discussing with Gardi- ner the matter Of . meeting with
