CONNECTS PLEAD
 FOR RO.F.LAPORTE
Three Bank Robbers to Be Heard By PardOns
 Board Monday

Under heavy guard, three New York convicts who are serving long terms for robbery of the Philamont, N. r., bank, will be brought to Hart ford next Monday to plead for Or lando F. LaPorte, 30, of Hartford, serving six to nine years for robbery with violence in Torrington grocery store. The convicts will make their pleas before the state board of par dons.
 LaPorte, who was sentenced March 10, 1888, seeks a pardon on grounds that he did not commit the crime. He claims that confessions of the three New York convicts clear him of any blame in the crime. The New Workers are: Ralph Briggs, Lu- man Oliva and Edward Olszenski, who, LaPorte claims, have confessed to the robbery of the Sabia Grocery Store, Torrington, in December, 1887. This was the robbery for which LaPorte was convicted in Litchfield county superior court after several persons had identified him as one of the three holdup men.
 In addition, it was reported We'd nesday by Attorney George T. George of Torrington, counsel for LaPorte's family, Sheriff Milton Saulpaugh of Columbia county, N. Y, and State Troopers E. T. Han- chett and Fred Schoonmaker of the Troy barracks would also come here. The troopers had charge of the in- vestigation of the bank robbery while the sheriff was reported to have had conversations with Briggs, alleged leader of the trio, while he awaited trial at the county Jail in Hudson, N. Y.
 The judge who sat at the bank robbery trial agreed that the New York prisoners could be produced as an act of comity between the two states. Other authorities, in both states, approved the plan, Attorney George said, and the prisoners will be brought to the state line under guard of New York troopers, to be met by Connecticut state police and thence driven by car to the meeting of the board of pardons. The La- Porte case may not be discussed with the New York men while they are enroute, Attorney George said.

UuaH 70 1ecCuCe 1n the SCHOOLS, pro- vided the Board of Education ap- proves.
 Reasons Given
 Three reasons, as follows, were given by the board for denying the petition to form chapter of the eire and police association:
 The present Police Mutual Aid Association can, with minor changes in the purpose and by laws, fulfill all the desirable pur- poses of the proposed association.
 As no information was presented regarding the cost of membership, other than an initiation fee of $1, 1t is possible that at times the dues may impose @ serious and unwar- ranted burden on the income of the members.
 One of the purposes of the association, as presented by the department committee, is not proper tor the maintenance of discipline by the superintendent or his subor- iinate officers.
 Before denying the request, which Q month ago was passed by the fire board, subject to the mayors final approval, the police board received a written petition from members setting forth the aims of the pro- posed organization.
 This brief asserted that 1t would be "non-union and on-political, woul dnot interfere in any manner with actions by the board" that its objects are "the promotion of meas ures to improve public service, im- prove the moral, mental, social and material condition of the depart the condition of our employment snent members" and to improve in the public service" and to "bring the police and fire departments in- to closer association through joint social activities"
 Board Reorganized
 It stated that the association al- ways would recognize the board as the governing body of the de- partment and nothing would ever be done to interfere with the power vested in the board by the charter. It pointed out that most of the other cities of the state have such associations and said the off, cials of those cities commended them.
 In absolving Patrolman Walter Ksenich of charges that he used the Iron Claw on Paul o. Lear, of Barnes street. without provocation, the board said that the policeman, as sat forth by witnesses, snapped the claw on Lear only after the lat ter had become disorderly at Belle vue Park some weeks ago.
 The board told Superintendent Roach, however, to inform Patrol man Ksenich that he should have completed the arrest "as testimony indicated such action proper"
 The board said witnesses testified that the officer dragged Lear from
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-11-02

the park when the latter demanded @ drink at the bar after closing hours. Patrolman Ksenich acted on the request of the bartender, the board was informed.
 Want Detail
 A committee comprised of Colonel w. J. Shanahan, Major Newton w. Alexander, and Wallace J. Inglis, appeared before the board to ask permission for police detail at the Armistice Day parade.
 The department in recent years had passed rule that policemen off duty should not be required to parade unless paid for their time, This action, it was pointed out, was brought about by the fact that night men, who had just gone off duty, were usually picked to march, and 1t was unfair to them.
 Superintendent Roach declared, however, that he would ask for volunteers, and expressed the belief that they would be readily forth coming.
 Patrolman William Dwyer will probably be designated by Superin- tendent Roach to instruct school children in traffic safety. Patrol man Dwyer, who recently asked the board to assign him to this duty be- cause of poor health, was called in yesterday and outlined ex-tempore his plans and methods for conduct ing the course.
 Superintendent Roach said he has had such project in mind for some time, in the belief that the instruc- tions would prevent and reduce acci- dents in which children are tn- volved.
 Given Certificate
 Several letters were received by the board praising the work of the police department. A letter from J Edgar Hoover, chief of the FBI, was received stating that Captain John V. Leary has been granted a certifi- cate from the training course of the FBI, and has been redesignated for the training school.
 44ACutClldLlb OdillCo U. muAfhlG was granted leave of absence for 5a days beginning November 9. Ate IA days of the leave have expired the remainder will be without pay
 A request from the widow of Ser geant James E. Halpern for a pen- sion under the Culhane bill, was referred to the corporation counsel
 Superintendent Roach announced that he has requested for an appro- priation for patrolman to be assigned to the Hopeville section evenings.
 A letter from John R. DeVito, who recently applied for appointment tc the supernumerary force, was re- ceived asking that he be appointed to the supernumerary group in order that he may take course in fin- ger-printing and Investigations with the FBI. He cannot do so unless he

Anna Weretelnik, 28, of 110 Cherry street, arrested yesterday on a charge of theft of more than $400 from a woman's socie ty, was granted 8 continuance in bond of $1,000 by Judge John L. Gaffney in City Court today.
 The complaint alleges the woman stole funds from the, St. Olga so- ciety of which she was secretary. She will reappear in City Court November 16, when the charge may be changed to embezzlemnt by agent.
 Fined $1O0
 Simonp Cronin, 34, of 162 Bishop street, pleaded guilty to charge of driving while under the influence of liquor Septmber 27, and was given a suspended fine of $100 and costs. The suspension is indefinite. Cronin's license was taken away.
 Albert Guarino, 21, of 22 Ward street, was held today in bond of $500 pending appearance in court November on @ charge of breach of the peace.
 Prosecuting Attorney Michael J. Galullo said police told him Guar iro was arrested when he jumped on the running board of a car driven by John Lattanzio, 34 Colley street, on Leavenworth street last night and punched through the window when the machine reached West Main and Meadow streets.
 The prosecutor said Lattanzio is the youths father-in-law.
