Patrol wagon calls II
On the morning of March 28th the body of a woman was found in what is known as Squire's field with her head almost severed from her body.
It afterward proving to be that of Annie Mullins, a domestic employed in a Cambridge family.
On receipt of the news that her body had been found Dis- trict Attorney Higgins and Deputy Chief Neil of the State police, together with Chief Pullen of Cambridge, offered the services of their respective offices which were accepted.
The case is still under investigation; the members of this department have worked faithfully and conscientiously in the matter and your honorable board have been kept in close touch with all matters pertaining to the case.
At an inquest held at the 3rd District Court, conducted by District Attorney Higgins and presided over by Judge Stone, numerous witnesses were heard and I herein quote the follow- ing from the finding of the honorable court at that time :
"At an inquest duly holden before the justice of the 3rd Middlesex court of eastern Middlesex, at Cambridge, in the county of Middlesex, on the 3rd and 29th days of April in the year of our Lord 1908, to inquire into the cause and manner of the death of Annie Mullins, whose dead body has been found lying in Arlington within the judicial district of said court.
"The justice of said court, having been duly notified of the death of the said Annie Mullins and of the circumstances at- tending the same, by William D. Swan, one of the medical examiners of said county of Middlesex, after hearing the tes- timony relating to the cause and manner of said death, finds that the said Annie Mullins came to her death at said Arling- ton on the 27th day of March in the year of our Lord 1908
84
CHIEF OF POLICE.
in consequence of a hemorrhage resulting from incised wounds in the throat.
"The said Annie Mullins was an unmarried woman, about 27 years of age, and at the time of her death was employed at No. 113 Walker Street, Cambridge, by Prof. Hans Carl Guenther von Jagemann as a house servant. She was a native of the province of Newfoundland, but had lived in Cambridge for some time, and was a woman of good character and virtu- ous life, and so reputed in the community in which she lived.
"She was last seen by her employer's wife in the kitchen of the house on Walker Street at about 7 o'clock on the even- ing of March 27, 1908. She left the house hurriedly some minutes after this time, without informing anybody of her in- tention so to do, and in direct contradiction to an intention expressed not more than half an hour previous of not leaving the house upon that evening. Her dead body was found the next morning at about 9 o'clock by two boys, Louis M, Chever and. Walter M. Cook, in what is commonly known as Squire's field, in Arlington.
"The body was lying at or near the edge of a depression or ravine in the field which had been formed some years previous by gravel or dirt being taken out in comparatively large quan- tities.
Although the boys who found the body, and more particu- larly one John Murphy, an adult whom they summoned to their assistance, showed commendable intelligence in dealing with the situation, the news of its discovery soon caused many people to assemble at the spot, whose curiosity is largely re- sponsible for the difficulty which confronted the police at the outset of an official investigation.
"No knife or other weapon was found either on or near the body. There was Evidence that tended to show that the said Annie Mullins had come to this place with some other person, presumably a man. From the medical testimony it appears probable that death took place between the hours of 8 and 10 P. M. on the evening of March 27.
"The position and character of the wounds in the throat indicate that they were inflicted with some sharp instrument by means of slashing blows or cuts, and there is nothing in their position or character to show whether or not they were self inflicted.
From the other evidence in the case, however, including the absence of any weapon at or near the body, the absence of any motive for suicide, the appearance of the deceased. the condition of the ground around where the body was found, and other facts that appeared at the inquest, I do not think
85
CHIEF OF POLICE.
it probable that this was a case of suicide. The inquest oc- cupied two days, 28 witnesses being summoned and examined by John J. Higgins, district attorney for the northern district, who represented the government.
"From all the evidence thus presented to me, I am unable to form an opinion to the identity of the person who is re- sponsible for the death of the said Annie Mullins. I am also unable to form an opinion as to the way and manner in which her death was affected other than is stated above.
"I, therefore, find that the said Annie Mullins came to her death on Friday, March 27, A. D. 1908, at Arlington, through a hemorrhage resulting from her throat being cut by a sharp instrument in the hands of some person or persons to me un- known."
In regard to the illegal sale of intoxicating liquors I can only reiterate what has been said in other years, that no com- plaint has been left unattended.
The Police Signal System still continues to give unbounded satisfaction; by its use the officer in charge of the station is in constant touch with the officers on their routes and during the year it has been put to some severe tests.
There have been 25,245 duty calls rung in by the officers during the year and 986 telephone calls sent it.
The boxes of the system are located as follows :
Box No. 12 at the junction of Mass. Ave. and Henderson St. 14 at the junction of No. Union and Broadway. 15 at the junction of Tufts St. and Mass. Ave. I4I on Mass. Ave., near the Monument. 21 on Medford St., near the cemetery gate.
23 on Mystic St., near Fairview Ave. 3I at the junction of Mass. Ave. and Mill St. 32 at the junction of Gray St. and Bartlett Ave. 34 on Pleasant St., near Kensington Road. 4I on Mass. Ave., near Grove St.
44 at the junction of Forest St. and Mass. Ave. 412 near the Arlington Heights car barn. 413 on Westminister Ave.
THE LOCKUP. On numerous occasions during the year we have been obliged to put two persons in a single cell, in which there is hardly standing room for one, and in which the venti- lation and plumbing is something beyong description.
At the last special town meeting an article was inserted in the warrant to see what action the Town would take in the matter.
86
CHIEF OF POLICE.
A committee of five was appointed to investigate and report at the annual town meeting.
I wish that every citizen of the town would constitute him- self a committee of one and personally look into this matter.
I sincerely believe that no intelligent person after so doing can remain unconvinced that common decency demands some of the changes asked for.
This department consists of a Chief, one Inspector with rank of Lieutenant, and six patrolmen.
The year just closed has been a trying one for the members of this department and I take this opportunity to thank them for their earnest effort to enforce the laws and maintain order.
I would recommend that the same amount as last year, namely the sum of $9,250 be appropriated for the maintenance of this department for the ensuing year.
In closing I wish to thank the citizens who have in any way assisted this department in their arduous duties.
To your honorable board I can but express my deep appre- ciation for the many timely suggestions made and assistance rendered.
Respectfully Submitted,
THOMAS O. D. URQUHART, Chief of Police.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
ARLINGTON, MASS., Jan. 1, 1909.
To The Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Arling- ton:
Gentlemen :- I respectfully submit my annual report of the Arlington Fire Department for the year ending Dec. 31, 1908, giving details of the force, apparatus, record of fires and alarms, with amount of loss and insurance on property en- dangered, as near as possible to be ascertained, also appro- priations and expenditures together with recommendations and suggestions for the best interests of the department and town.
ORGANIZATION. The number of companies are as fol- lows: one ladder company, three hose companies and one chemical engine company which is run in connection with hase company No. 2.
MANUAL FORCE. The force consists of 48 men.
I Chief Engineer I Ist. Asst. Engineer
I 2nd Asst. Engineer and clerk 5 permanent drivers
I Permanent Captain and driver .... 3 Call Captains
4 Call Lieutenants 28 Privates 4 Substitutes.
The department has been unfortunate in the loss of one of its oldest members, Mr. A. F. Brooks who passed away Dec. 5 a man who gave the best part of his life to the department and who could always be counted upon to do his duty. We car ill afford to lose such men, but must abide by the will of the Almighty.
SALARIES PAID THE DEPARTMENT.
Chief per year $300.00
Ist Asst. Chief 100.00
2nd Asst. Chief and clerk 125.00

APPARATUS. The department has three Hose Wagons, one Relief Wagon, one ladder truck, one Chemical Engine and two Exercise Wagons. There are eight Hand Chemicals distributed on the different pieces of apparatus. The Relief Wagon has been added the past year being a discarded Hose Wagon from the City of Boston Dept. which was purchased for twenty-five dollars ($25.00) thoroughly overhauled and painted and now used by Hose Co. No. 3 and Ladder Co. No. I as Exercise Wagon. The exercise Wagon which has been used by Hose Co. No. 3, sent to Hose Co. No. I at Heights, which has always had to use their regular wagon for exercise purposes. Hose 2 and 3, Chemical and ladder truck are all in good order. I recommend that Hose No. I Wagon be put in shop and painted this coming year ; this Wagon has been used for exercising purposes and therefore is not in as good condition as others and I believe it is good policy to have one wagon painted every year and not have them all come in one year as they did before.
HOSE. There are 7,850 ft. of 212 in. cotton rubber lined hose in the Dept., 1,300 feet having been purchased the past year. Most of the rest is in good condition excepting a few lengths which are old and therefore more liable to give out. Barring any accident will not need any more this coming year. Six hundred feet of hose which was not fit for use in Dept. was sold to Sewer Dept. and proceeds used for pur- case of new hose.
HORSES. There are eleven (II). Horses in the Dept. ten are in active service and one is used as spare horse. They are all in good condition and except for accident will last for a number of years. The Horses have consumed 1,031 bushels Grain, 56,500 lbs. Hay, 4,807 lbs. Straw; at a cost of $1,300.54 which makes the cost per week of each horse $2.39.
HOUSES. Outside of ordinary repairs to the buildings ex- cept Hose 2 house, in which bath-room has been installed and Hose I house, which has been painted, the buildings are in the same condition as last year. The building at the Heights, Hose I, is in very bad condition, the sills are all decayed and building is settling fast. Do not think it advisable to lay out
89
CHIEF ENGINEER OF THE FIRE DEPT.
any money there but recommend that the town take in con- sideration the purchase of a new location and erection of build- ing for use of Fire Dept. The building of Hose 3, Broadway, is in fair condition but it is not large enough for the needs of the Dept. Additional room has to be hired at present time. A central Fire Station in the centre of the Town is needed and some movement to that effect should be started; owing to the size of present lot and the inability to purchase additional land, it is not advisable to make any extended repairs on building.
The fuel for Dept. cost $256.34.
