THE PETITIONS ask dissolu- tion of the Mason-Thurston Libra- ry District and that people of both counties have the opportunity to vote in the 1960 general election if they wish such a district. "Anyone believing In the repre- sentative form of government wishing to sign one of the peti- tions may find them at various places throughout the county," Nelson said. Those wishing to obtain a peti- tion themselves may do so by writing to Nelson, Route 3, Box 280, She]ton. Only Mason County residents living outside the city of Shelton are eligible to sign the petitions. Shelton residents are not eligibl BOYS TO WORK Three teen-age youths from Bei- fair and one from Port Orchard were sentenced to 10 days at hard labor by justice of the peace, Joe Peters of Belfair Monday for drinking alcoholic beverage. The boys, all high school stu- dents, were ordered to dig ditches and paint buildings owned by the county. Besides the 10 days of work the boys also paid court costs of $3.50 each. The parents of the youths ap- proved the penalty of the court and one boy's father offered to buy more paint himself if they should run out. Justice Peters had previously meted out a similar penalty to four boys who were caught steal, lng gasoline on the North Shore road. JAGUARS, Shelton scored the winning touchdown 'on a 22.yard Leroy Austin to Joe Waters pass in the final ten seconds of play for a 13-6 upset victory over Jefferson of Olympia in a junior high foot- ball game on Loop Field this aft- ernoon. Gary Combs banged across the try-for-point. He had previously plunged 3 yards for Shelton's sec- ond quarter touchdown to tie the score at 6-6. Jefferson had tallied in the first quarter on a double. reverse which Dennis Bolton car- tied around right end for 47 yard. eLtry-f0r-potut wa g0gl HINTO00N HANDED 45 DAY SUSPENSION City Suspends 14-DAY HEARING ENDS rishe[ From WEDNESDAY EVENING Everything from baseball to concentrated "night school Police Force law courses" came into the testimony in the final day of the The Shelton City Commis- sion suspended police officer Herbert Rishel from duty Tuesday night in city hall. The commission's position on the suspension is that Rishel was never legally hired as a police officer since he at one time had been convicted of a felony. Civil Service Commission Chairman Rocky Hembroff was notified of the suspen- sion and was present at he meeting but said he had no comment on the matter at that time. RISHEL'8 NAME has come up on several occasions during the hearing of Police Chief Paul Hin- ton. One of the charges against Hinton is that he hired a former felon as a police officer. Rthel was notified of his dismissal by the city Tuesday night. The charges against Rlshel made reference to the alleged falseness of his application for employment when he was hired by the city in 1958. The city's viewpoint on the Rlshel hiring is that although he had received a restoration of civil rights from the governor he was still not eligible to hold a civil service office. The move to suspend Rishel had the backing of Mayor Earl MOore and Commissioner Joe Simpson and W. F. McCann. THE STATE passed a new law In regard to parole in 1951 which has caused some confusion as to the lgal status of persons con-. Vmted of felonies, acc0rlng to State Parole and Probation Offic- er Harry Peterso of Bremerton. VFW Winners To Be Named Veterans of Foreign Wars Area Director John W.

St. Cecelias Gtdld is in charge o£ planning the f.fo0 hour, civil service commission hearing of the dismissal charges against suspended chief of police Paul Hinton. The "night school law" came into the hearing during the testimony of Bernard Bailey, Shelton barber, who has filed and subsequently withdrawn civil service board. BAILEY SAID that at the time he arranged a meeting through Police Sift. V. J. Santamaria with Mayor Earl Moore and city attor- ney Barry Hatten, that all he wanted was information about the hiring of a convicted felon by the police department. He said he had asked about this of the mayor be- fore and had never felt that he had been given a satisfactory an- swer. As the evening meeting, on Oc- tober 10, progressed Barley stated that points in the civil service code were pointed out to him, and that by the time the meeting was over it seemed like a good idea to file charges against the commis- sion. BAILEY MAINTAINED that at first he had been interested only in the moral issue of a felon on the police department, but that at his meeting with Hatten and Moore, Moore had suggested that if things were going to blow up they might as well go the whole way. Through questions asked by At- torney Frank Heuston, counsel for Paul Hinton, Bailey related that after the session he went home and wrote a letter stating the charges against the commission and that the next morning Barry Hatten picked the letter up at his barber shop and that later in the day he met with Hatten and Moore and Hatten gave him an amended letter of his charges telling him to copy it in his own haled and submit it to the.city odiiton, wiich he.dld. UNDER CROSS examination by Hatten, Bailey said that the city attorney had advised him that as a citizen he would have to draw up the charges himself, that he Hatten couldn't do it for him. In further cross examination Bailey said that he was "shook", when at a meeting with County Prosecutor McClannahan. Sheriff Potter and Frank Houston, Heu- ston brought up the possibility of filing charges against him of con- spiracy to subvert Jnstiee and criminal libel. LATER ON during the morn- ing hearing, County  Prosecutor Byron Mcclannahan was called to the stand to testify about the meeting with Bailey when the possibility of criminal action was discussed and about complaints he had made in the past to the mayor and the city attorney about the police department. He stated that he did not recall having been critical of the chief or the department but had men- ttoned specific cases where he was dissatisfied with the manner of investigations. He also said that after he found out that the mayor had relayed things he had told him in confi- define on to other people, things that he felt were gossip and hear- say, he deetded to clear them up by his own investigation and found that the majority of them. were Without foundation. IN A DrREc exchange with Hatten, McClannahan said, "Do you honestly want to know what I think about this whole thing? I think you gave Barley some bum advice." The day that Chicago beat Los Angeles 1-0 was the day officer Dick Nelson recalled, ehzring his testimony as being the time he met in the Shelton Hotel With Hatten and Moore and told them that he thought they were using him as a "patsy" in the Hinton ea. During his testimony Nelson said that it was also clear between him and Heustcn that tf hc was part of a conspiracy "to get Htn- ton" that Heuston would have his Job. Other witnesses called during the morning were Frank Wfllard, principal of the vocational school of the city school who testified that he felt the handling of juve- nile problems had been greatly improved since Hinton had be- come chief and that he was the best police chief he had worked with. GEORGE HERMES,, high school principal, said that his associa- tion with Hinton had been a g,ee- able and that he felt that Hinton had helped many teen-agers who otherwise would have gotten into trouble. YEE, ITERDAY afternoon o o t h sides wound up their cases in the hearing with City Attorney Barry Hattcn demanding Hinton's dis- charge from office on the grounds that all the charges had been proven against the Police Chief by the evidence presented and by the testimony of witnesses including Hinton. Frank Houston and Stanberry F0nter, an Olympia lawyer WOrk. charges against the present ing with Houston, were equally adamant on their position that none of the charges had been proved by the city and that Hin- ton should be restored to duty. "I have listened to City Attor- ney Hatten for the last 55 min- utes and not once did he have any- thing good to say about the chief", said Heuston. In referring to the hiring of Rishel, Houston added, "Is there anything in our social culture which requires that a man be pre- sscuted forever for a mistake he made in the past?" HATTEN devoted a large part of his summary to the employ- ment application of Herbert Rish- el, who was suspended from the force Tuesday night. Hatten stat- ed, "Tbe employment application of Rishel had been tampered with. The original answer to a question on the form which asked if he had ever been convicted of a felony had been crossed out. Hinton knew about Risbel's record all the time". The City Attorney also accused Hinton of trying to cover up the whole Warner incident, calling down his own police officers for investigating the case and refus- ing to cooperate with the mayor on the disposition cf the charges against Waaaer. FRANK HEUSTON told the commission that if Hinton was really trying to cover up the Rish- el application he would have had the whole thing typed over again instead of writing on the appltca- or Houston also took issue with the''ity on the charge of destroy- ing evidence, namely the state: ments taken by police officers from Francis Beatty and the tapes of their conversations with him and his 16-year-old sister. "None of this evidence was le- gally admissible in court", said Houston. Houston was also critical of the, mayor for going to Seattle to get advice on a local problem. "Is mayor Gordon Clinton of Seattle going to run the city of Shelton?" Houston asked. After Mayor Moore had rein- stated Hinton he went to Seattle to seek the advice of mayor Clln- ton who referred him to Seth Tay- lor, a retired Seattle police officer, who in turn advised Moore it would take an outside investigator a month to learn what he knew already and it would be better for Moore to handle the situation with local personnel. STANBERRY FOSTER also took a few verbal potshots at the city by comparing their case against Hinton with Shakespeare's stm T of the "Merchant of Venice". Foster said that as Shylock de- manded his pmmd of flesh from the merchant of Venice the city was demanding its pound of flesh because Francis Beatty was re- leased from jail. "I am afraid Beatty doesn't make a very good whipping post", added Foster. Foster also said. "I once heard that Napoleon could be two peo- ple at the same time by changing the position of his hat on his head but I have never heard of a case where a City Attorney could be both the prosecutor and the de- fender of the same person at the same time". Foster was making reference to the fact that Hatten was as City Attorney responsible for the pros- ecutlon of Beatty but at the same time had been appointed his de- fense cotmsel by the Superior Court. HATTEN SCOFFED at the comparison of the city to Shylock wanting his pound of flesh and said the city only wanted the whole matter to be handled ac- cording to law. Hatten claimed Hinton's record of actions in the case reflected deceit by attempt- lng to cover things up and by failing to cooperate with the may- or. On Thursday the ramming ses- sions of the hearing, Chief Hinton was questioned by his attorney, Frank Houston, about the hiring of officer Herbert Rlshel. Hinton said he first met Rishel in 1952 when Rishel was working for the department of natural resources. Hinton said that Rishel came down to the station many times bcfo l. was on tbe force and visited with Sgt. Vincent Santa- maria. The chief maintained he did not know anything about Rishel's rec, ord as a felon at first but heard runmrs to that effect later. Hinton said sheriff Jug Potter came down to his office one day and showed him a super- ior court record of Rishel's fel- ony conviction. HITON ADDED, "I was arn- a,zed that he had a record," Tire mspendsd chief maid he chkdJ * * • , Warnor's Letter ]+Reinstatement Ordered Charges Hinton A ndSantamf/a After Temporary Layoff a new hot potato on its hands to- day when K. P. Warner, resigned city police officer, filed a letter with the board charging Police Chief Paul Hinton and Police Ser- geant V. J. Santamaria with ne- glect of duty and depriving him l of his civil rights by withholding service of a warrant for his arrest in the Francis Beatty case which led to Warner's resignation. Warner's letter follows: Oct. 28, 1959 Civil Service Commission City of Shelton Francis Beatty charged me with providing him with intoxicating liquor on the 6th day of Sept., 1959. After this charge was mad against me Chief of Police Hlnton and SgL Santamaria told me that if I would resign as patrolman no further charges would be made. In view of my past record of 11 years as a patrolman and this out- rageous charge made by a drunk- en Indian with a past criminal record I agreed to do as requested by Sgt. Santamaria and Chief Hinton and resign, primarily be- cause I felt that charges of this kind and from this character im- pressed my superior officers better than my past record. Had I known that at the time of these charges that my super- iors held a warrant for my arrest (signed by Judge Rolla Halbert} I would not have resigned. War- rant dated Sept. 6. 1959. I hereby charge Chief Hinton and Sgt. San- tamaria with neglect of duty for not serving me with the warrant there and then, also depriving me of my civil rights by withholding this warrant information from me. SignedKlee Warner. with the sheriff's office and the Bureau of Criminal Identification in Olympia and that neither of- fice ld a record of Rishel. "]eZ I found Rlshel did have a" l'ecord I told him he Would have to clear the matter up," said Hin- ton. Rishel took a four month leave of absence from the force and obtained a restoration of civil rights. The chief told the court he. and Moore had discussed the Rish- el case several times and he un- derstood that as far as the mayor was concerned it was a closed case. Hinton also gave some back- ground information about officer K. P. Warner who has since re- signed from the force. The chief said Warner had worked nights for several years. After finding out about his drinking with juv- enile Indians the chief said he told Warner to resign or he would see that charges were brought against him. OFFICER RICHARD Nelson took the stand and told of his feelings towards a charge made by Chief Htnton that the other police officers railroaded Warner. Nelson said he was unhappy about the attitude of the chief on that matter but added that he never intended that hearing on the chief's fitness as a police chief would result from the incident. Nelson denied that he tried tc railroad Warner. Other officets including V. J. Santamaria. War- ren Baumgsrt and Richard Booth also stated that they have no in- tention of bringing charges against Hinton as a result of the Warner case but admitted that they tm were unhappy with the statement of the chief that they had rail- roaded Warner. COUNTY PROSECUTING at- torney Byron Mcclanahan took the stand last Thursday and Fri- day and told the commission about F r a n c i s Beatty's backgrotmd. Beatty is the 19-year-old Indian who told police "vVarner had furn- ished him and his sister with vodka on Sunday, September 6. McClanahan said Beatty had been convicted on eight counts of being drunk in public and three counts of petty larceny in the last two years. McClanahan said Beatty had been sent to the Western State Hospital by the court for observation. McClanahan added that Beatty did not seem to chagc any after being in jail and that it was the opinion of himself and Judge Wright that keeping him in jail would serve no useful purpose,. McClanahan stated this was the reason Judge Wright suspended his fine of $1000 and his jail sentence of a year on the condition that he leave town.

Suspension without pay for 45 days, then re- instatement of Paul Hinton as Shelton's police chief is ordered by the Civil Service Board in the decision it rendered late this afternoon after four days of public hearing on by Mayor Earl Moore. The decision was given in 'a written form which had been pro. pared Thursday morning in Olym- pia in the offic, es of Ralph Swan- son, attorney for the board during the hearing. The beard reached its decision at a late hour Wednesday night after completion of testimony from witnesses called by both sides and summations made by attorneys for both sides, The decision of the board, signed by Chairman Rocky Hem- broff and Stan Parker and Archie Dittman, is summarized here- with: The Civil Service Commission grouped the charges against Hin- t.on into five general categories. The Commission ruled that the charge that Hinton had released Vrancis Beatty from jail without authority constituted misconduct ,as rejected by the commission. They ld that while the dis- charge of Beatty from Jail was technically improper it did not warrant disciplinary action. The second charge was that Hinton accepted the resignation of Warner without taking any fur- ther criminal action against him. On this charge, the Commission ruled that the Police Chief should have referred the matter to coun- ty authorities since the incident took place outside of the city. The Commission led that. the inaction of the Chief on this issue was not in the best interest of the Shelto Police department and is deserving rO£ censure. Tle Cure- mission however felt that the ad- ministrative action in accepting the resignation of Warner from the police force was proper. The report of the Commission took into account the fact that Beatty was dznk at the time the state- ments against Warner were made and since the incident, took place out of the city the matter did not come trader his direct .lurisdiction. B--That the action of the de- fendant in destroying the written statements taken from Barbara n(l Freddie Beatty and In erasing the tape recording of the interro- gations of Francis Beatty was im- proper. The commission is of the opin- ion that the determination of whether the evidence was or was not competent was one which was beyond the authority of the de- fendant to make and that the ac- tion of the Chief of Police in de- stroying this ewdence was im- proper and deset'¢lng of censure. 4-.That the chief of police knowingly deceived the Civil Set- 'ice Commission with respect to the hiring of Officer Rlshel or was so grossly negligent in his inves- tigation of the background of Rishel as to indicate incompe- tency and dereliction of duty, The commission does not feel that the defendant altered the ap- plication of Rtshel with any inten, tics to deceive the Civil Service Commission. The Commission fur- thor feels that while the steps taken to detezwaine the true facts regarding the application were not mffficient, nevertheless u s u al operatiug p;edures were fol- lowed. We therefore do not find the facts sufficient to warrant disciplinary action under this charge, 5.-That the conduct of the Chief of Police toward the officers in- volved in the investigation of the Beatty.Warner matter was im- proper and caused dissension in the Police Department. While we believe that the Beat° ty-Warner situation might have multiple charges brought overlooked. The good faith of the mayor has been challenged in this proceeding and an attempt made to show be had some personal grievances against tile chief. While we are of the opinion that some of the methods used by the mayor In bringing this matter be- fore this Commission were tmfor- tmate, nevertheless we find that the mayor acted in what he con- tdered to be the bet interests of the Shelton Police Department and the City of Shelton in preferring these charges. The Commission is aware that, except for the Rtshel matter .... , all of the matters involved arose out of an incident which occur- red September 6, 1959. We do not feel that in view of the length af service of the defendant .... and his excellent reputation . . . that charges warrant his removal. We do not, however, feel that the matter can be overlooked and that some disciplinaT action must be taken by this Cmuuission. IT IS THEREFORE ORDER- ED RY THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SHELTON as follows: 1. That Paul Hinton be suspend- ed as Chief of Police of the CRy of Shelton without compensation for a perind of forty-five (4b) days from September 24, 1959 and that he be immediately thereafter. on November 12, 1959, restored to duty as Chief og+ Police under t.lte l>rmanent etx, il erviee of the City of Shelton. 2. The Commission its'thor uz'ge that the Commissioner of Puhiic Safety and the Chief of Police meet periodically to ,i:termine the program of the Shelton Police De- partment and the means and methods whereby it may be strengthened and improved; the Conamlssion further suggests that better communications be estab- lished between the Mayor, as Commissioner of Public Safety and the Chief of Police, and be- tween the Chief of Police and the men nf his department to the end that matters which may arise in the future may be settled ami- cably without the necessity of re- sorting to drastic action; the Commission further nrges that whatever personal differences may exist among all parties concerned be immediately forgotten and that all parties move forwa in s, splr+ it of cooperation to the end that tim department may be a credit to the community in which we live. PO Work ApplicHls Now Being Ae00epled Applications are being taken now at the Shelton post office for Christmas season work, Post- master J. H. Gray announces. Depending on the mail load dur- ing the period, two or three wo- men or six men will be employed at the post office between Dec- ember 10 and 25, the postmaster said. Gray also said that if cnough peons express interest lm will request the civil service board to set up a register from which fu- ture employment needs of the post office can be drawn. DAVlSON ELEOTED TO UNION POSITION Greater nnion responsibilities been handled better by the offi- have been accepted by Ralph Dao cers in that we feel the defendant vison of She]ton, active for maw should llave been called as soon years in affairs of Lo,'al 161 t as it; became apparent that a po- ShelLon s RayoRier plant, with hh ice officer was involved, neverthe- election as secretary-treasurer of le, the later conduct of the de- the Northwest l'ulp a+d Pap:r- fendant toward his" officers was workers Council during a three- not justified.

The commission's position on the suspension is that Rishel was never legally hired as a police officer since he at one time had been convicted of a felony. Civil Service Commission Chairman Rocky Hembroff was notified of the suspen- sion and was present at he meeting but said he had no comment on the matter at that time. RISHEL'8 NAME has come up on several occasions during the hearing of Police Chief Paul Hin- ton. One of the charges against Hinton is that he hired a former felon as a police officer. Rthel was notified of his dismissal by the city Tuesday night. The charges against Rlshel made reference to the alleged falseness of his application for employment when he was hired by the city in 1958. The city's viewpoint on the Rlshel hiring is that although he had received a restoration of civil rights from the governor he was still not eligible to hold a civil service office. The move to suspend Rishel had the backing of Mayor Earl MOore and Commissioner Joe Simpson and W. F. McCann. THE STATE passed a new law In regard to parole in 1951 which has caused some confusion as to the lgal status of persons con-. Vmted of felonies, acc0rlng to State Parole and Probation Offic- er Harry Peterso of Bremerton. VFW Winners To Be Named Veterans of Foreign Wars Area Director John W.

St. Cecelias Gtdld is in charge o£ planning the f.fo0 hour, civil service commission hearing of the dismissal charges against suspended chief of police Paul Hinton. The "night school law" came into the hearing during the testimony of Bernard Bailey, Shelton barber, who has filed and subsequently withdrawn civil service board. BAILEY SAID that at the time he arranged a meeting through Police Sift. V. J. Santamaria with Mayor Earl Moore and city attor- ney Barry Hatten, that all he wanted was information about the hiring of a convicted felon by the police department. He said he had asked about this of the mayor be- fore and had never felt that he had been given a satisfactory an- swer. As the evening meeting, on Oc- tober 10, progressed Barley stated that points in the civil service code were pointed out to him, and that by the time the meeting was over it seemed like a good idea to file charges against the commis- sion. BAILEY MAINTAINED that at first he had been interested only in the moral issue of a felon on the police department, but that at his meeting with Hatten and Moore, Moore had suggested that if things were going to blow up they might as well go the whole way. Through questions asked by At- torney Frank Heuston, counsel for Paul Hinton, Bailey related that after the session he went home and wrote a letter stating the charges against the commission and that the next morning Barry Hatten picked the letter up at his barber shop and that later in the day he met with Hatten and Moore and Hatten gave him an amended letter of his charges telling him to copy it in his own haled and submit it to the.city odiiton, wiich he.dld. UNDER CROSS examination by Hatten, Bailey said that the city attorney had advised him that as a citizen he would have to draw up the charges himself, that he Hatten couldn't do it for him. In further cross examination Bailey said that he was "shook", when at a meeting with County Prosecutor McClannahan. Sheriff Potter and Frank Houston, Heu- ston brought up the possibility of filing charges against him of con- spiracy to subvert Jnstiee and criminal libel. LATER ON during the morn- ing hearing, County  Prosecutor Byron Mcclannahan was called to the stand to testify about the meeting with Bailey when the possibility of criminal action was discussed and about complaints he had made in the past to the mayor and the city attorney about the police department. He stated that he did not recall having been critical of the chief or the department but had men- ttoned specific cases where he was dissatisfied with the manner of investigations. He also said that after he found out that the mayor had relayed things he had told him in confi- define on to other people, things that he felt were gossip and hear- say, he deetded to clear them up by his own investigation and found that the majority of them. were Without foundation. IN A DrREc exchange with Hatten, McClannahan said, "Do you honestly want to know what I think about this whole thing? I think you gave Barley some bum advice." The day that Chicago beat Los Angeles 1-0 was the day officer Dick Nelson recalled, ehzring his testimony as being the time he met in the Shelton Hotel With Hatten and Moore and told them that he thought they were using him as a "patsy" in the Hinton ea. During his testimony Nelson said that it was also clear between him and Heustcn that tf hc was part of a conspiracy "to get Htn- ton" that Heuston would have his Job. Other witnesses called during the morning were Frank Wfllard, principal of the vocational school of the city school who testified that he felt the handling of juve- nile problems had been greatly improved since Hinton had be- come chief and that he was the best police chief he had worked with. GEORGE HERMES,, high school principal, said that his associa- tion with Hinton had been a g,ee- able and that he felt that Hinton had helped many teen-agers who otherwise would have gotten into trouble. YEE, ITERDAY afternoon o o t h sides wound up their cases in the hearing with City Attorney Barry Hattcn demanding Hinton's dis- charge from office on the grounds that all the charges had been proven against the Police Chief by the evidence presented and by the testimony of witnesses including Hinton. Frank Houston and Stanberry F0nter, an Olympia lawyer WOrk. charges against the present ing with Houston, were equally adamant on their position that none of the charges had been proved by the city and that Hin- ton should be restored to duty. "I have listened to City Attor- ney Hatten for the last 55 min- utes and not once did he have any- thing good to say about the chief", said Heuston. In referring to the hiring of Rishel, Houston added, "Is there anything in our social culture which requires that a man be pre- sscuted forever for a mistake he made in the past?" HATTEN devoted a large part of his summary to the employ- ment application of Herbert Rish- el, who was suspended from the force Tuesday night. Hatten stat- ed, "Tbe employment application of Rishel had been tampered with. The original answer to a question on the form which asked if he had ever been convicted of a felony had been crossed out. Hinton knew about Risbel's record all the time". The City Attorney also accused Hinton of trying to cover up the whole Warner incident, calling down his own police officers for investigating the case and refus- ing to cooperate with the mayor on the disposition cf the charges against Waaaer. FRANK HEUSTON told the commission that if Hinton was really trying to cover up the Rish- el application he would have had the whole thing typed over again instead of writing on the appltca- or Houston also took issue with the''ity on the charge of destroy- ing evidence, namely the state: ments taken by police officers from Francis Beatty and the tapes of their conversations with him and his 16-year-old sister. "None of this evidence was le- gally admissible in court", said Houston. Houston was also critical of the, mayor for going to Seattle to get advice on a local problem. "Is mayor Gordon Clinton of Seattle going to run the city of Shelton?" Houston asked. After Mayor Moore had rein- stated Hinton he went to Seattle to seek the advice of mayor Clln- ton who referred him to Seth Tay- lor, a retired Seattle police officer, who in turn advised Moore it would take an outside investigator a month to learn what he knew already and it would be better for Moore to handle the situation with local personnel. STANBERRY FOSTER also took a few verbal potshots at the city by comparing their case against Hinton with Shakespeare's stm T of the "Merchant of Venice". Foster said that as Shylock de- manded his pmmd of flesh from the merchant of Venice the city was demanding its pound of flesh because Francis Beatty was re- leased from jail. "I am afraid Beatty doesn't make a very good whipping post", added Foster. Foster also said. "I once heard that Napoleon could be two peo- ple at the same time by changing the position of his hat on his head but I have never heard of a case where a City Attorney could be both the prosecutor and the de- fender of the same person at the same time". Foster was making reference to the fact that Hatten was as City Attorney responsible for the pros- ecutlon of Beatty but at the same time had been appointed his de- fense cotmsel by the Superior Court. HATTEN SCOFFED at the comparison of the city to Shylock wanting his pound of flesh and said the city only wanted the whole matter to be handled ac- cording to law. Hatten claimed Hinton's record of actions in the case reflected deceit by attempt- lng to cover things up and by failing to cooperate with the may- or. On Thursday the ramming ses- sions of the hearing, Chief Hinton was questioned by his attorney, Frank Houston, about the hiring of officer Herbert Rlshel. Hinton said he first met Rishel in 1952 when Rishel was working for the department of natural resources. Hinton said that Rishel came down to the station many times bcfo l. was on tbe force and visited with Sgt. Vincent Santa- maria. The chief maintained he did not know anything about Rishel's rec, ord as a felon at first but heard runmrs to that effect later. Hinton said sheriff Jug Potter came down to his office one day and showed him a super- ior court record of Rishel's fel- ony conviction.

P. Warner, resigned city police officer, filed a letter with the board charging Police Chief Paul Hinton and Police Ser- geant V. J. Santamaria with ne- glect of duty and depriving him l of his civil rights by withholding service of a warrant for his arrest in the Francis Beatty case which led to Warner's resignation. Warner's letter follows: Oct. 28, 1959 Civil Service Commission City of Shelton Francis Beatty charged me with providing him with intoxicating liquor on the 6th day of Sept., 1959. After this charge was mad against me Chief of Police Hlnton and SgL Santamaria told me that if I would resign as patrolman no further charges would be made. In view of my past record of 11 years as a patrolman and this out- rageous charge made by a drunk- en Indian with a past criminal record I agreed to do as requested by Sgt. Santamaria and Chief Hinton and resign, primarily be- cause I felt that charges of this kind and from this character im- pressed my superior officers better than my past record. Had I known that at the time of these charges that my super- iors held a warrant for my arrest (signed by Judge Rolla Halbert} I would not have resigned. War- rant dated Sept. 6. 1959. I hereby charge Chief Hinton and Sgt. San- tamaria with neglect of duty for not serving me with the warrant there and then, also depriving me of my civil rights by withholding this warrant information from me. SignedKlee Warner. with the sheriff's office and the Bureau of Criminal Identification in Olympia and that neither of- fice ld a record of Rishel. "]eZ I found Rlshel did have a" l'ecord I told him he Would have to clear the matter up," said Hin- ton. Rishel took a four month leave of absence from the force and obtained a restoration of civil rights. The chief told the court he. and Moore had discussed the Rish- el case several times and he un- derstood that as far as the mayor was concerned it was a closed case. Hinton also gave some back- ground information about officer K. P. Warner who has since re- signed from the force. The chief said Warner had worked nights for several years. After finding out about his drinking with juv- enile Indians the chief said he told Warner to resign or he would see that charges were brought against him. OFFICER RICHARD Nelson took the stand and told of his feelings towards a charge made by Chief Htnton that the other police officers railroaded Warner. Nelson said he was unhappy about the attitude of the chief on that matter but added that he never intended that hearing on the chief's fitness as a police chief would result from the incident. Nelson denied that he tried tc railroad Warner. Other officets including V. J. Santamaria. War- ren Baumgsrt and Richard Booth also stated that they have no in- tention of bringing charges against Hinton as a result of the Warner case but admitted that they tm were unhappy with the statement of the chief that they had rail- roaded Warner. COUNTY PROSECUTING at- torney Byron Mcclanahan took the stand last Thursday and Fri- day and told the commission about F r a n c i s Beatty's backgrotmd. Beatty is the 19-year-old Indian who told police "vVarner had furn- ished him and his sister with vodka on Sunday, September 6. McClanahan said Beatty had been convicted on eight counts of being drunk in public and three counts of petty larceny in the last two years. McClanahan said Beatty had been sent to the Western State Hospital by the court for observation. McClanahan added that Beatty did not seem to chagc any after being in jail and that it was the opinion of himself and Judge Wright that keeping him in jail would serve no useful purpose,. McClanahan stated this was the reason Judge Wright suspended his fine of $1000 and his jail sentence of a year on the condition that he leave town.

Suspension without pay for 45 days, then re- instatement of Paul Hinton as Shelton's police chief is ordered by the Civil Service Board in the decision it rendered late this afternoon after four days of public hearing on by Mayor Earl Moore. The decision was given in 'a written form which had been pro. pared Thursday morning in Olym- pia in the offic, es of Ralph Swan- son, attorney for the board during the hearing. The beard reached its decision at a late hour Wednesday night after completion of testimony from witnesses called by both sides and summations made by attorneys for both sides, The decision of the board, signed by Chairman Rocky Hem- broff and Stan Parker and Archie Dittman, is summarized here- with: The Civil Service Commission grouped the charges against Hin- t.on into five general categories. The Commission ruled that the charge that Hinton had released Vrancis Beatty from jail without authority constituted misconduct ,as rejected by the commission. They ld that while the dis- charge of Beatty from Jail was technically improper it did not warrant disciplinary action. The second charge was that Hinton accepted the resignation of Warner without taking any fur- ther criminal action against him. On this charge, the Commission ruled that the Police Chief should have referred the matter to coun- ty authorities since the incident took place outside of the city. The Commission led that. the inaction of the Chief on this issue was not in the best interest of the Shelto Police department and is deserving rO£ censure. Tle Cure- mission however felt that the ad- ministrative action in accepting the resignation of Warner from the police force was proper. The report of the Commission took into account the fact that Beatty was dznk at the time the state- ments against Warner were made and since the incident, took place out of the city the matter did not come trader his direct .lurisdiction. B--That the action of the de- fendant in destroying the written statements taken from Barbara n(l Freddie Beatty and In erasing the tape recording of the interro- gations of Francis Beatty was im- proper. The commission is of the opin- ion that the determination of whether the evidence was or was not competent was one which was beyond the authority of the de- fendant to make and that the ac- tion of the Chief of Police in de- stroying this ewdence was im- proper and deset'¢lng of censure. 4-.That the chief of police knowingly deceived the Civil Set- 'ice Commission with respect to the hiring of Officer Rlshel or was so grossly negligent in his inves- tigation of the background of Rishel as to indicate incompe- tency and dereliction of duty, The commission does not feel that the defendant altered the ap- plication of Rtshel with any inten, tics to deceive the Civil Service Commission. The Commission fur- thor feels that while the steps taken to detezwaine the true facts regarding the application were not mffficient, nevertheless u s u al operatiug p;edures were fol- lowed. We therefore do not find the facts sufficient to warrant disciplinary action under this charge, 5.-That the conduct of the Chief of Police toward the officers in- volved in the investigation of the Beatty.Warner matter was im- proper and caused dissension in the Police Department. While we believe that the Beat° ty-Warner situation might have multiple charges brought overlooked. The good faith of the mayor has been challenged in this proceeding and an attempt made to show be had some personal grievances against tile chief. While we are of the opinion that some of the methods used by the mayor In bringing this matter be- fore this Commission were tmfor- tmate, nevertheless we find that the mayor acted in what he con- tdered to be the bet interests of the Shelton Police Department and the City of Shelton in preferring these charges. The Commission is aware that, except for the Rtshel matter .... , all of the matters involved arose out of an incident which occur- red September 6, 1959. We do not feel that in view of the length af service of the defendant .... and his excellent reputation . . . that charges warrant his removal. We do not, however, feel that the matter can be overlooked and that some disciplinaT action must be taken by this Cmuuission. IT IS THEREFORE ORDER- ED RY THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SHELTON as follows: 1. That Paul Hinton be suspend- ed as Chief of Police of the CRy of Shelton without compensation for a perind of forty-five (4b) days from September 24, 1959 and that he be immediately thereafter. on November 12, 1959, restored to duty as Chief og+ Police under t.lte l>rmanent etx, il erviee of the City of Shelton. 2. The Commission its'thor uz'ge that the Commissioner of Puhiic Safety and the Chief of Police meet periodically to ,i:termine the program of the Shelton Police De- partment and the means and methods whereby it may be strengthened and improved; the Conamlssion further suggests that better communications be estab- lished between the Mayor, as Commissioner of Public Safety and the Chief of Police, and be- tween the Chief of Police and the men nf his department to the end that matters which may arise in the future may be settled ami- cably without the necessity of re- sorting to drastic action; the Commission further nrges that whatever personal differences may exist among all parties concerned be immediately forgotten and that all parties move forwa in s, splr+ it of cooperation to the end that tim department may be a credit to the community in which we live. PO Work ApplicHls Now Being Ae00epled Applications are being taken now at the Shelton post office for Christmas season work, Post- master J. H. Gray announces.
