POLICY WRITER
Second Charge Of Carrying Gun Is Continued
James Adams of Hartford Disclaims Knowledge of Weapon Being in Car = Girl Arrested at Time
 Vice Squad Made Hit Is Given Freedom

mel announced his intentions Of summoning Wilson to Waterbury and questioning him as to tho ownership of the 32 automatic re-. volver found in a pocket of the Ford coach in which Adams was utilizing as . policy shop on wheels" John Young of Water- bury furnished the bonds for Adams appearance in court when needed,
 There was a decided conflict in the evidence as presented by state witnesses and the defense today Adams claimed that the slips found in his possession were not policy plays. He admitted that he was operating q game similar to that of the treasury balance. Per. sons interested gave him slips of papers with numbers on 1t. The winners were decided by reports from horse races. The numbers were selected from the time clock. ed by tho Judges in the various races.
 The winning numbers were pub. hshed in the various newspapers It was claimed and there was no drawing necessary. The receipts went to Hartford.
 Patrolmen Daniel J. Carson, Fred Hickey and Patrick Moylan made the arrests after trailing Adams about the city and observ- ing him receiving plays from pn- trona. In the auto was an adding machine and a long slip of paper which registered the number and amount of plays made. Tn this way Adams had no chance of cheating his employer, 1t was ad- mitted.
 Whe0 placed on the witness stand Adams didn't know how tho adding machine or tho gun got into the car. He didn't know much about the slips either or any of tho evidence recorded against him.
 The police admitted that the woman with the accused had no part In tho operation of the game. The arrests were made at noon hour yesterday near tho corner of East Main and Woicott street. When tho police stopped the car and found discriminating evidence they also searched the machine and found the weapon concealed In q pocket of the car.
 Members of the emergency car were questioned as to their fam lllarity in the operation of both policy and tho new racket that Adams was prom otink. The strang. est feature of the whole affair ls when and where the "pay offs" wcro made, if any.
