LAWYER TOLD HE LIES
MAYOR DENOUNCES ATTORNEY
J. "RAT" HITCHXXGS.
Counsel for ex-Police Sergeant Cole
Hints That Administration Pro
tected Fallen Women.
When Attorney J. "Hat" Hitching
intimated yesterday before the Civil
Service Commission that E. W. Cole.
x-pollce sergeant, was discharged be
cause h interfered with houses of
ill fame on the East Side, which were
protected by the city administration.
he clashed with Mayor Rushlight, who
accused him of lying and "four-flushing."
Attorney Hitchlngs attempted to
show that Mayor Rushlight had reasons
for protecting a woman named Allta
Bell, and that the fact that Cole in
terfered was the cause of his dis
charge. The Mayor denounced Hitch
lngs and branded his Intimations as
"foolishness and lies."
Cole testified that he had heard that
Alll. Bell had boasted of first having
his (Cole's) district changed from the
West Side to the East Side and then
of having him discharged from the
f ore.
Mrs. A. B. Loomls. former wife of
"Mysterious Billy" Smith, pugilist, tes
tified before th. commission that Allle
Bell bad made the same statement
to her.
Th. circumstances of the discharge
of Colo for insubordination, incompe
tence and grafting were related at
the hearing the same as at the formal
hearing better, the polio committee of
the Executive Board, at which Cole was
discharged for the) good of th service.
No evidence was introduced at yes
terday's hearing by the city. The com
mission will hear arguments in the
cas. befor. deciding. The privilege of
arguing was asked by Attorney Hitch
lngs at the eoncuslon of the hearing
yesterday, which continued from i P.
