ley, Wiifred Evon, Joseph Kenney,
George Smith and James Foy.
Splendid cooperation was shown
by Waterbury policemen who did
police and traffic duty here while
the local force was busy attending
the funeral. Theytwere under the
direction Of Captain Frank r. Cut
ting.
Bearers were members Of the po-
lice force. They were Chief of
Police John A. Adamson, Sergeant
John Gormley, Patrolmen Richard
Kelly, ST., Timothy Reardon, Mar
tin Garrick and Richard Ostrom.
THE policemen were attired in dress
uniforms and presented colorful
sight.
His widow and family have re-
ceived many. messages of condo
lence from present and past bor-
ough officials and from police off,
Gals throughout the state. Cap
tain Malone during his long serv-
Ice was widely known and hal
many friends in Connecticut.
Capt. Malone had an unequalled
record in the local force, Chief
Adanson said In paying tribute to
the popular officer.
The flag is at half staff at the
town hall. Oddly enough this mark
of respect is not officially paid for
the long years Captain Malone
served as captain because this Is an
appointive Office and the flag IS
only raised at half staff for bor-
ough officials who have been elect
ed by the people. Many years ago
Captain Malone was elected con-
stable, and for this reason he
earned the right to have the flag
at half staff.
Firemen Represented
The firehouse entrance is draped

spect to Capt. Malone who was an

sisting Of Chief Milton Calvin,
