''In my opinion it Is Job," said FranklH to the commission. "I have een Jack Hoare coming from this lady's house several times, and I think he and his brother are bark of this." O During the session George H. Howell. of the executive board, had been quietly listening. ' Deputy Jack Hoare also slipped in unnoticed. A t--the-oivlulon of Franklin's j-ase Mr. Howell ad dressed the. board as follows:; ; - t " "Gentlemen, you have already stated that, you desired to get at the-facts In thi case. Mr. Hoare's name has been brought Into this and It Is but fair to allow him to give his version of this .affair, as he Is now present,'" Franklin's face was a deep red. :. He had testified under oath that he had taken some of Hoare's customers and that the : deputy sheriff was trying to "job" him as a result. The commission- " era consented to Jet Deputy Hoare tell his story. . .' ;'-v ?. y . . -,.. .... . "Mr, Franklin say he has taken away some of my customers," testified Hoare. "Here is my book with my list. If you can find any of these names in Frank lin's book he Is telling the truth. Other wise It Is a He." and the witness em phasised his statement by throwing his book down on the table for the com missioners to look at, but they did not examine it, ,....,. " Soored by Jack Hoare. "I do not wish to "knock' this man." continued Hoare, "but as my name has been- mentioned. I will state that I do not know Miss Winters, and Franklin could not have seen me coming from her home. As far as Franklin is-con-cerned.1t Is immaterial to me whether he is on the adjoining beat to me or not In fact. I would rather have him there. He can't take any of my custom ers away. He says he does not drink, but I saw him taking whiskies while he was on my beat attempting to take my customers away. I also saw him and another tntn with : two women coming out of a saloon about six weeks ago. It was at t o'clock in the morning and they wera all Intoxicated. .The only rea son I have for coming here is to resent the aspersions which have 1een cast upon me as a special officer." ; . Miss Winters, who called Franklin Into her house last week to Investigate a burglary, at which time the special officer is accused of misconducting him self, was present at the meeting yester day and told a direct straightforward story on the. stand. Her story waa sub stantially the. same as told by The Journal last week. ' . Miss Winters Account. "He caught me by my arms, kissed me, and said: 'You dear little thing.'" she said, v "While he was In my room I heard th burglars escaping through ths Cellar. Franklin was intoxicated at the time. When the other officers came he just stood and laughed in a maudlin manner. I tried to resent his advances, but was so weak from sickness and from my experience that I fell back exhausted on the bed, , 7, Miss Winters said that Franklin apol ogixed the same evening after he heard of tha charges printed in The Journal. She said: "He came to m and aald " 'I am awfully sorry I dona what X did. and I want to apologise for it I want to admit that I did it, but I don't know why I done It I've been on the force for 18 years and never was In trouble before. You looked so pale that I felt sorry ror. you. I hope the chief won't hear of it. as I will lose my star. If I cun do you any favors in ths future I will do so.'" ( c . Miss Winters said she' did not report Franklin's conmtr. to Patrolman Bloan and Nelson because they left before she had opportunity. J. G. Wright a roomer, testified that Franklin "had a good skate." , - Confirm Miss Winters' Story. Both Wright and Fred Thompson, Miss Winters', uncle, testified that they had heard portions of the officer's apology and corroborated what Miss Winters had told ; "I thought Miss Winters was angry because I had told her to get out of the hallway, as I was afraid the burglars might shoot her." said Franklin In ex planation. "I told her If I did anything wrong I was very sorry. I was laugh ing because I thought there were no hurglars and that the atory was untrue. I am not a drinking man." ' The case against Driver John Price and Patrolman Daniel Connors was next taken up and Edward Clare testified to having been visited y the two officers and Patrolman Johnson. He was told that he was under arrest, but then ac companied Price, who was in plain clothes, to a side room, where he aald he gave Price $5 and then handed him a few cigars. In answer to one question he. said he did not know whether the jwllcemen entered before or after la, m. Graft Charge Investigated. F. M. McAtee. F. 8. Dimmit and Rob ert Robson testified that they were in the saloon, but saw no money paid, al though they saw the patrolmen there and heard ,them order Clare to close his saloon. . In his own behalf Price denied the charge in toto and said that as lie was not 011 duty he had not even entered the saloon, but with Connors waited un til Johnson came Out Price attempted to show that MCAtee was trying to "job"' him..' MeAtee. who wa fnrmAHv elal . policeman, vehemently assorted mat ne jiaa not reported the matter. : The testimony of Patrolmen Connors and. Johnson .corroborated the story of Price in every detail; The only direct i v laenco mat money was paid was given by Clare, Dimmit asserting that he did not even see the cigars In question on the counter. Commissioner Blchel left before the hearing closed. The testimony is being transcribed by Secretary Leonard of the police depart ment and the commissioners will have to review this before making a decision.
