 After being removed from office Pajewski was visited by . number of his friends who pounded at him and pounded at him with rumora that he finally began to believe them and decided to investigate. Officer William Grabeck and . man named John Templeton were men tioned as "go-betweens." but they were not called to testify. the attor- ney said. Why were they not called to the stand?" he demanded. Was the defense afraid Officer Grabeck would deny that he ever went to Pajewski? Why were all the wit nesses called to testify to absolutely nothing. and Officer Grabeck and John Templeton not called?"

 Mike Bannon on the stand was asked who was running the depart ment at that time and he was eva sive, saying he knew who was run ming it now" the attorney said.
 Damage By Newspaper Artcle
 The commissioners did not go to Paiewski, because they knew he had nothing to do with the matter. and he had already told the federal au- thorities he washed his hands Of 1t and had nothing definite on which 10 base :ny accusations against the chief. The damage to Chief Hart's reputation was done on March {. 1928 and thereafter. the Bridgeport Herald having carried the alleged slanderous article on that date. and Pajewski had nothing to do with the publication of the article. he said.
 Attorney Monkiewicz scored the plaintiff for asking the jury to be- lieve Gardiner, the first witness called. Plaintiff called him a hyp- ocrite. called him crazy, yet he asks you gentlemen to believe him as a witness" he declared. 1T don't blame plaintiffs counsel for apolo- gizing to you yesterday for asking you to believe Gardiner. He almost apologised to you for insulting your intelligence.
 Hahn's Testimony Called Favorable
 Frank Hahn. who testified for the plaintiff that Ira Leonard and Gar diner called on him and asked him Ito deliver over Chief Hart to them for a pint of moonshine liquor" !" clinched the case for Pajewski. the attorney said. When witness Hahn went on the stand and told his story I almost decided not to put in any defense." he asserted. Judas had nothing on them" (referring to Leonard and Gardiner.)

He was convinced, he said. that Gardiner was in the right throughout the en- his contention he would not permit his acquaintanceship and friendship with the other principals or their attorneys to interfere.

Relative to the fattufe ce OUooi Orabeck to be oalled to tho witnsAl stand. Attorney Casals saiA he did not subpoena the s6{csri ts attend the triai.

 Referring to Frank Hahn. the .at- torney said, hs had no desire to s''get man on the stand ani make . fool Of him. and drag his ahams out ol ftjs heart.". but he questioned the Atrength of the iplaintiAes case when |, 1t needed the testieaony of "a maR who apparently was not ht to cou- tinue as . member of the police fore, , and was diswis6ed for cause" Says Chies Hest. Hetaeed ~ :; Gardiner. his attorney declared, had .faid his cards on the table" q to what transpired at the confer ence at police headquarters Chief Hart. however, hedged on some questions notably as to whether or not he used the word ''trnst" with yretArence to Pa1ewski.: after it was dlsclosed that Pajewski had gtysn information to Gardiner. The lattss was 1ustified in suspecting that Pa jewski had violated . trust. as he was present when the chief used tho expression, Attorney Casale aaid.
 Chief Hart was quoted in the press as having said that Gardiner was ''craxy'' and ''all wronk." At |torney ,Casale pointed out. yet he did not say on the stand that Gardt- ner was all wrong as to the Jonas case and tho lottery law matter Gardiner, after laying his evidence before the committeeman was sur prised to read in the newspapers that the 'all powerful chief Of DO lice" had been exonerated. Natural ly he waa surprised at the 'bare faced attempt to have the public of New Britain swallow it." fs
 0ardincr's next move was to call Chairman Chamberlain and on fail- ing to receive what he thought was proper attention. he called the Bridgeport Herald reporter, and re- leased the story. that the public of New Britain might know what was gotng on.
