IN Tavern Fight Case

A Georgetown University student
was freed on disorderiy conduct
charges today after Municipal Court
Judge Waiter j. Casey heard his
version OF tavern fracas Wednes-
day night with an Army sergeant.
The youth is Robert McCole, "A.
of $685. Legation street NV. himself
an Army veteran with service In the
Pacific.
In dismissing the charge. Judge
Casey criticized the conduct Of the
arresting oficer. Policeman l.. e.
Gatlin Of the seventh precinct, who
was charged by the defendant with
failure to take any action against
his alleged assailant.
The student told the Judge he
entered tavern on Wisconsin ave-
nue. Wednesday with companion.
Other patrons were said to have
been watching q teleyision broad
cast Of New York boxing match.
A disparaging remark he made
about one Of the fighters Is said
to have infuriated the sergeant, who
reached across his booth and struck
him, the defendant testified.
Officer Gatlin, summoned to quiet
the disturbance. told the judge the
sergeant had disappeared when he
arrived. He said he took the George
town youth into custody when the
latter cursed him.
Mr.. Cole charged that the SER
geant was still In the tavern, sur
rounded by friends, when the Of
ficer arrived. He denied using
improper language to the ofncer.

the grill and Johnny tMr. Moore,
the other countermar1), came In
from the rear room and Joined me
behind the counter"
Mr.. Meadors quoted Stewart as
then saying: 'Do you fellows mind
IL I take a drink" At the same
time, Mr.. Meadors said, the police
man was opening the bottle.
Mr.. Meadors said Mr.. Moore then
remarked: "It doesn't make any diff
ference now. You've taken it al
ready. You'll have to take 1t out
side
Tells Of Hearing Threat.
Il went In back to get some
doughnuts,' Mr.. Meadors added.
Garrett said something I couldn t
understand. Johnny came out to
hear what he was saying"
Mr.. Meadors said Garrett told the
countermen: What are you so
hotheaded about? You act as II you
own the place. I've got a good mind
to come behind the counter and beat
you up. I believe I will"
Mr.. Meadors said Mr.. Moore tried
to shut the bolt on the door leading
to the counter as Garrett made a
move to enter, but that Garrett
stuck his foot In the door, pushed
against 1t and entered. Mr.. Moore
then ran back through the restau-
rant and into an open area in the
rear as Garrett chased him, Mr..
Meadors recounted.
Stewart, who had been drinking
his coffee, followed the two men,
and both policemen finally stopped
in the back room Of the restaurant,
according to Mr.. Meadors. They
then returned to the counter where
Garrett picked up his tomato Juice
and Stewart his coffee. They final
ly decided to 60, Mr.. Meadors de-
clared.
Asked for Payment.
He said he asked them for Is
cents In payment and quoted Stew
art as saying to Garrett: Wait,
and let me pay this punk"
According to Mr.. Meadors, Gar
rett then hurled the tomato juice
in his face and said: I'm giving it
back to him. We don't have to
pay for It,"
The two policemen left, Mr..
Meadors said, and he reported the
matter to No. 7 precinct police,
who arrived on the scene and took
a report.
When asked last night for a
statement, Stewart said: "1 hardly
feel this is the proper time to
comment. I will probably decide
on that later"
Garrett could not be reached for
comment.
Both men have good records In
the Police Department Stewart
was appointed November II, 1941,
and has been with No. precinct
ever since, while Garrett. who was
appointed February 10, 1941, served
at No. and Is precincts before
coming to No. 7.

Boston. He is a veteran, having

that Mr.. Fitzpatrick only drank
lightly and was never boisterous.
Treated at Hospital.

lgntly ana was never DOlSterOuS.
Treated at Hospital.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick received several
stitches at Georgetown Hospital for
a wound in the back of his head. He
also was treated for cuts on his
forehead and throat, he said. He
will return Monday to have the
stitches removed.
Sworn statements by Louis Citta-
dino. 80. a night counterman at the
Little Tavern at 1901 Wisconsin
avenue NV. and by the employees
of the Little Tavern at 1891 M street
NV, largely formed the basis for
the suspensions.
Mr. Cittadino told a reporter what
he had recounted to police. He said
he saw Mr.. Fitzpatrick waiting for
the streetcar early Wednesday when
q policeman in a private car ap-
preached.
Fitzpatrick didn't appear drunk
at all" Mr.. Cittadino said. He was
perfectly sober. I saw Stewart hit
him, and after a little talking. he
struck Fitzpatrick again. I thought
1t was with a blackjack. A COM
panion of Fitzpatrick's walked to-
ward the Little Tavern, and Stewart
stopped him near the curb"
Mr. Cittadino quoted Stewart as
saying to the companion: "If you as
much as mention this or appear in
court against me, I'll fill you full
of lead"
Struck Him Again.
Stewart went back, talked some
more with Fitzpatrick and struck
him again with the blackjack" Mr.
Cittadino continued. I'm positive
of that. The boy bled like a stuck
hog. Then the police took him
away"
Mr.. Meadors repeated to re-
porters the statement he gave to
police concerning alleged activities
of the two policemen little earlier
on Wednesday.
They came in late in the after
noon and sat on rear stools" Mr.
Meadors said. Stewart pulled out
a fifth OF whisky about half full
and asked for a cup of coffee. Gar
rett asked for a glass of tomato
juice. After I served them, I walked
forward behind the counter to clean

Refers To CounfinE Procedure.
Mr.. Stockard also read To the
committee another statement Ia
which It was said that only the
senatorial ballots were counted and
reported the other ballots were
bundled up for later attention away
from the polling place
4 In the summary, Mr.. Wear sug-
gested that the statement was made
by person who must have meant
Representative not Senator
when he was speaking Of the ballot
counting. The FBI report contained
the full statement.

primary fight ID which Representa-
tive SLAUGHTER was beaten BY Enos
Axtell, President Trlmans choice
The complaints being Investigated
grew out OF the August primary.
Judge Reeves, under questioning
by Senator Ferguson, said the FBI
report was mot placed before me, :
but that he was told by Mr.. Wear
1t was available.
81 did not examine the FBI re-
port. said Judge Reeves. saying
that he had merely examined the
summary submitted by Mr.. Wear.
IT had the greatest confidence In
Mr.. Wear" the judge said.
Judge Reeves said he and the
other judges had consulted about
the matter.
Under questioning by Senator Lam
ger, Republican, of North Dakota,
Judge Reeves said he had been on
the bench since 1928.
Senator LANCER wanted to know
why Judge Reeves had not read
the FBI report.
"You could have called for it,
Senator LANCER said.
Had Confidence in Summary.
Judge Reeves replied that it was
the duty OF the Government (the
district attorney to marshal the
facts and present them to the judges
He said he had confidence that the
summary presented by Mr.. Wear was
an "epitome" of the FBI report.
At the outset Of today's session
Senator Ferguson asserted that a
Federal investigation now, after
ballots have been stolen, is a case
of locking the barn after the
horse is stolen"
Nov that you've made pretty
political speech for the Kansas City
Star that will get your name on the
first page. let me say something,
Senator McCarran, Democrat, OF
Nevada rejoined.
Senator Ferguson told Senator
McCarren he would get his name in
the Kansas City papers also, but
the Nevada Democrat observed 1t
would probably be on the last page.
Bfore Judge Reeves was called
to the stand. Alden A. Stockard
finished presenting to the subcom-
mittee a description of the election
complaints he found In the Justice
Department files. MIR. Stockard Is
on the office staff of Senator KEN,
Republican of Missouri, author Of
the pending resolution to investigate
the handling of the case by the
Justice Department.
Mr.. Stockard said the purpose Of
his testimony was to show that a
synopsis of the complaints given to
the Federal judges was not complete,
and to show that the material the
Justice Department had last fan
justified more complete investi-
cation.
Objects to Procedure.
Senator MeCarran objected to
having Mr.. Stockard proceed in this
manner, insisting that the officials
involved give direct testimony. Sen
ator McCarran said mo court would
accept such testimony"
Having been a court once, the
chair thinks any court would admit
it." replied Senator Ferguson, a for
mer Michigan judge.
"It would have to be a police court
on the East Side at midnight"
Senator McCarran shot back.
The chair rules the witness may
proceed" came the stern reply Of
Senator Ferguson.
Mr. Stockard then read from JUS
tice Department files the statement
Of a woman who served as a Demo-
cratic precinct Judge, and who de-

for counting into three piles

lots. split ballots and Republican
ballots.
Called Common Practice.
Mr.. Stockard said the synopsis
given the Missouri judges recited
|that the woman precinct judge
made 4 statement which does not
indicate there was any intentional
misconduct by the Judges"
Mr.. Wear interrupted to point
lout that the synopsis, however. also
referred the judges to the appro-
PIRATE page Of the FBI report where
1.-THE woman's full statement could
be found.
Senator McCarran said 1t is q
common practice In elections to
lpair-on straight ballots on each side
for quick counting, and added that
LIT is done wherever there are ma
chimes.
aI,m afraid the Senator doesn't
know what is,meant by a machine
lin, Kansas City. observed Chair
man Ferguson.
Senator McCarran said he was
talking about legal, mechanical ma
chimes, and Senator Ferguson re-
| piled that the mistakes in Kansas
City were made by human ma
chimes
This is the well-known Pender-
CAST machine" chimed in Senator
KEN.
Mr.. Stockard read TO the commit
tee from the report of the inyesti-
CATION conducted by the Kansas
City Star stating that Estella r.
Carter, voter in the 10th precinct,
had made an affidavft that a Dem
ocratic worker had offered some
money, which she, did not take. Her
statement said the worker had
stated: "I've taken care OF you" |"
and she never was allowed to vote
The summary OF the FBI report
handed to the judges by Mr.. Wear
contained no reference to this affi-
davit, Mr.. Stockard told the COM
mite. The summary did state there
was no evidence of conspiracy" in
this precinct. On the other hand,
the FBI preliminary report" did
set out the whole statement of
Estella Carter.
Asked About Bribery.
Mr.. Wear asked Mr.. Stockard
whether there was violation OF a
Federal law In this case, and
whether this was not a charge Of
bribery.
Senator Ferguson interrupted to
say that the committee would pass
on that later. 4
Senator Ferguson continued:
What we are trying to find out now
is why the FBI was not permitted
to make this investigation"
Mr.. Stockard also read from the
Kansas City Star report statement
made to Its investigators by Louise
Foster, Republican challenger in
the 5th precinct. She said that q
Democratic judge by the name OF
Marchese on many occasions asked
the voters names, took the ballots
and marked them himself. She also
said several persons came in and
couldn t remember their names" and
then went outside to refresh their
memories and came back later to
vote. She mentioned the names OF
several, and she said also she saw a
Democratic precinct worker hand
bills to voter.
The summary Of the FBI report
given the judges, Mr.. Stockard said,
merely stated that 1I0uise Foster
said 1t appeared that number of
persons had been voted. The FBI
