afford to buck the fellow who went
to the Owl club. I refused to go e
cause I would not go any place with
Carta and Walker. I told Cunning
ham to go and not get himself in
bad." . : -
"What do you say regarding tes
timony of Officer Pipkin's brother
yesterday?"
Never Saw Pipkin.
"Never saw him until yesterday; he
never spoke to me in his life and he
never turned a prisoner over to me, as
he stited."
"Is there any place in Omaha that
you have given protection or shown
favoritism during your course as an
officer?" -
"Not a single place."
"Have you ever been asked by a
superior officer to extend protection
or favoritism?"
' "I have not."
"Have you investigated all places
you knew off." .. . . ,
, "I did." ,
"Have you ever refused to go with
Barta, Walker or Unger except to the
Owl' club, as you explained?
"Since the organization of the
Omaha Detective association I would
have nothing' to do 'with Barta,
Walker or Unger." , . .
Against an objection made arid sus
tained Attorney Thomas offered to
show that during May, 1916, Sutton
made 133 arrests for crimes over
which the morals squad, has peculiar
jurisdiction.
; Raided Ford Place. . .,'
, Thomas resumed:
"Look at these reports and state
whether you ever raided the Ford
place."
"We did, three times."
"Wha happened there ' regarding
the inmates?" ., ,:; -
"Barta suggested we should not
take the inmates. The captain had
told us to use' judgment about tak
s ing inmates. Usually we took the
keepers." , . . "
, "Barta spoke of you giving pro
tection to Jennie Williams' place.
Where is that; place?"
"At 1513 Burt street. We went
there several times, bvt we could not
get in. There is a bottom door and
a glass door at the top' and' when
they see a ipolice officer they clear
out." : . , .
''Did you' ever , go to, Stella Mar
quette's place for purpose of a raid?"
"Went there ' five . ot, six times.
Never arrested anybody there , and
don't think anybody ever arrested.
You couldn't', get in ' there with
out breaking down a , door a police
officer couldnt.
"What about the Williams place at
618 North Sixteenth street?" t
: Made Later Arrests. ,
"I went there' and saw only a man
named Davis, a nick woman and an
other woman. : Barta was" not , in. the
kitchen. Later Cunningham and-1
arrested her upstairs of 2234 Farnam
street three times. j
"What about Mina Whitney?"
' "Went there many times only a
week ago--but she lives in a neigh
' borhood where they are always on the
lookout for police officers."" ' -"Did
you ever receive money from
anybody for protection?" .
"I did not."
"Not even from Honeywell?" '
"Xo." ,
"Have you done general police
work as well as morals squad duty?"
"I have done other work. There
was the Rogers case, for instance.
Captain Dempsey detailed four men
to help me and Cunningham. We got
. Rogers one night and , .got " eight
others of the gang afterwards. Rogers
got fourteen years."
"How many arrests have you made
on the morals squad?"
"More than 1,100."
Attorney Lambert: (
"While on department did you
ever work at Dr. , Willis' place on
Cuming street?" .
"I did not." ; " .
"Do you know whether Pete Loch
, or Johnny Lynch had any . interest
in Willis' place?"
"No, but I knew that Willis and
Loch were friendly."'' , ,?'
"Did you ever tell Barta or Walker
they would be walking a beat?"
"I did not."
"If you were making an arrest and
Loch or Lynch came along would you
yield to a request from them?"
"No. I would not yield to any
body. I have been friendly with Loch
and Lynch."
"Did you speak of investigating the
stealing of automobiles and you
thought you knew who they were?"
Maloney Calls Pipkin.
, "On March 15 L. A. Barnhart was
arrested... He was bartender at Bud
weiser. Pipkin made the arrest. Ma
loney called Pipkin in and told him
lie should be on a farm instead ot on
' police department Next morning
Jimmie offered a bond and Barnhart
was released. I heard Maloney bawl
Pipkin out Jor arresting Barnhart. A
lot of tires were found at Barnhart's
place." '
Attorney Baker:
I "Did you say you were surprised
I there were not more requests? Did
i vou mean Loch and Lynch?
I "I meant that I expected I would
be overwhelmed with -requests,; but
they made no requests.
"When Maloney suggested that
Pipkin should go on a farm did you
disagree with Maloney?"
"No."
"Can you tell a street walker a
block away?"
"I and Officer Cunningham could."
"Did you complain of Barta and
Walker to Kugel?"
"I complained against them going
with Unger and Wolf on raids
with us."
. "Did you report conditions of the
Underworld to Mr. Kugel?"
"I think I did."
Attorney Thomas:
"Is it a fact that places where liquor
was illegally sold were charged as
disorderly houses, rather than under
the Slocumb law?"
"Officer Cunningham explained that
to me. The proof of the sale of
liquors was hard to obtain."
"Did certain persons make requests
not to arrest certain women? What
did you do?"
"Lots ot requests, but I always
made the arrests and then did not
get so many requests.
"Did you . send any telegrams to
John Lynch under your own or any
other name from Chadron r
"I did not. .
"Did you read such a statement?"
'"I did and took several parties to
the Chadron telegraph office, but we
found no such telegrams."
Defense Rests.
With that we rest," announced At
torney Thomas. .
Attorney Lambert: "t am not nere
as a prosecutor or suuon. x nave
tried to be of assistance in bring
ing the facts before the council. An
argument from me would be a waste
of your time and an intrusion."
Attorney Thomas: .
"There are a few observations I
wish to make to the council. As I
view this -matter there arc charges
that Sutton was guilty of improper
conduct at Chadron in that he falsely
charged Maloney. Let me remind you
that Maloney 'was not Simons su
perior at any time.! Sutton was un
der the superintendent and was com
plaining against Maloney telling him
what to do. Kugel told Sutton to in
vestigate at Chadron, and let him
know if any members of police de
partment were involved. The fact
that Maloney was bound over at
Chadron should exonerate him in
minds of the city commissioners as to
the alleged false charges against Ma
loney. - The facts on that charge
would sustain an appeal if you should
fire Sutton There is no evidence to
show that he knew of law. violations
and failed to make arrests and prose
cute cases. It would be grossly un
fair to remove him on the evidence
offered against him. The testimony
offered by Barta and Walker 6howed
their deep hatred alfd venom. If
Sutton made such statements to Barta
and Walk'.' who were not friendly to
him,-why did he make such an offer
to those with whom he was at least
on iriendly terms. Barta and. Walker
were here- to swear Sutton out of job
and ruin his reputation if false swear
ine will do it Mr. Kugel gave Sutton
a clean bill. -You have to find that
Kueel. Demosey.' Cunningham, Mur
phy. Anderson and Chief Dunn were
mistaken and Barta, Walker and Un
ger told the truth if you find Sutton
guilty. Don't firt Sutton because you
want to fire him.
!;' Calls Sutton "Little Hero,"
Attorney Baker:
"The things Sutton did in Chad
ron have nothing to.fo in this case
unless you can show he was a party
to a scheme -to get Maloney. Another
marvelous thing of this case is that
Sutton should have gone to Kugel
and said he wanted to make an in
quiry, but did not mention the name
of one suspect , i here was a con
spiracy .between Sutton and this
woman, backed by somebody. Mrs.
Melson testified button said he was
noinir to net Maloney. In connec
tion with the Chadron affair you
cannot reconcile the fact that Lynch
did not know. It was imparted to
him. .... The only way for opposing
counsel to set out of a conviction is
to brand as a liar everybody who tes
tified against the way he believes. II
Thomas, as he said, knew of certain
powerful places in Omaha not being
moiesiea, wny am ne noi.icu.oi
them to the little hero of the police
deoartment?' I don t know of these
places it may be I don't get around
as-much as my friend, l nomas.
"It is aooarent that a pet. a favor
fte, has more to do with demoralizing
the force than anything else. Every
chartre. except the one referring to
Ruth Bass, has supporting evidence.
Favoritism of resorts has been shown.
If you believe in Sutton as truthful
you arc believing that a dozen are
perjurers. Captain Dempsey told of
the condition of favoritism under
which Sutton has worked. That is a
condition which you cannot have and
have the police force work in har
mony. Sutton admitted he would not
so with Barta and Walker, but gave
no reasons. I think the best thing
for the police force is to eliminate
Mr. Sutton. That vould not mean
that he is dishonest, but that he is a
factor of disruption and the force is
less valuable. Sutton is a disturbing
factor tnd interferes with proper
workings of the police department"
Szys Not Circus Wrestler.
Hcssie iIson, proprietress ot a
roomine house on the second floor of
707 South Sixteenth street, wishes to
correct a statement that before she
entered into her present enterprise
she was a wrestler in a cirois. That
impression was given during the
Maloney hearing before the city
council.
