Your department consists of Chief and four Assistant En- gineers, two Engine Companies, two Hose, and one Hook and Ladder Company. Your department is in good condition. We would recommend the purchase of more hose, also to shingle the engine houses, which will have to be done this year.


We have sold the old hook and ladder truck the past year. For other appropriations would refer you to recommendations of your Selectmen.

Special Police Report.


TO THE SELECTMEN OF FRANKLIN :


The Selectmen appointed me as special officer for the sup- pression of the illegal sale and traffic in intoxicating liquors in this town.


During the ten months I have served in the past fiscal year, I have worked independently according to the authority vested in me by the Selectmen.


While there had been much work done in the year previous, still there were many who were openly defying the laws and authorities of the town when I commenced work in April.


There have been sixty-eight search warrants sworn out and served, beside the warrants for the arrest and trial of the crim- inals themselves before the proper authorities. The prosecu- tions have beer. fairly successful.


The saloon of John Connelly, in the basement of Waite's block, on Depot Street, was looked over a number of times ; strong beer and other evidences of illegal business were found, but he being willing to close up his saloon, and not to engage in illegal business in this town any more, prosecution was re- served.


A number of search warrants were served on Mary Clark, who occupied a tenement on Union Street ; liquors were found but she promised to give up the business, and she was not prosecuted until late in the fall, when we found her selling again, and consequently prosecuted, when she gave bonds for appearance at court. She did not appear, but left the town and State, and her bondsmen to pay the charges. She is still away.


22


There have been a number of search warrants served on James W. Miller, who occupied a saloon at the corner of Cot- tage and Central Streets, but we have made but one seizure there this year, which was on June 11, when we found quite a quantity of lager beer hid under the floor of the building ; he was prosecuted, and settled for the benefit of the county, pay- ing $50 fine and costs.


During the year we have received numerous complaints from people living near Frank Phillips' place, near the Medway line, and have repeatedly raided his premises, and made three seiz- ures from his premises within the year. We found, in June. in the woods in the rear of his house, one Sunday morning. about twenty-five bottles of lager beer, and three gallons of new rum in one jug and five bottles. When Phillips was wanted for illegal keeping of intoxicating liquor, he left his home and we were not able to secure him until the last of No- vember, when he was tried and sentenced to four months in the House of Correction, but appealed his case to the Decem- ber term of the Superior Court, was defaulted, and is now serving his original sentence of four months. There is one case he is to receive sentence on, tried in September, and one more case of illegal keeping to be prosecuted.


There was a seizure and confiscation of liquors from A. A. Darling, but owing to promises, and this being his first known offence to the officers, he was not prosecuted.


John Kelley, who lived in the second story of Heaton's house, on Emmons Street, was found doing an illegal business, and he was prosecuted on two counts, convicted and sentenced to serve seven months at hard labor in the House of Correction in the town of Dedham. He was committed July 5th and has recently been released.


On July 16th, Officer Nickerson and myself procured a search warrant for the premises occupied by Phillip McPar- land, on Cottage Street. On arriving at this saloon we found everything to all appearances as usual, and spent some time in looking the establishment over. We found, before we closed our search, a wooden tank secreted between the plastering and the boarding on the outside of the building, which held about


23


four gallons of whiskey. This tank was furnished with a rub- ber tube extending from the bottom through which the liquor was drawn. McParland was prosecuted for illegal keeping was convicted and fined $50 and costs, but appealed, was beat- en at the Superior Court, and the case went to the Supreme Court on exceptions, but was returned for sentence, and the Court added three months at hard labor in the House of Cor- rection in the town of Dedham, to his original fine and costs.


The Pond building on Cottage Street, formerly occupied by McParland, has been in possession of, and business carried on there, by one Phillip Byers, since about the first of October. Said Byers has been prosecuted on two counts for doing busi- ness on Sunday, was convicted, but appealed ; he was also prosecuted for keeping a liquor nuisance, was adjudged guilty and fined $50 and costs and three months in the House of Cor- rection, from which sentence he also appealed. The McPar- lands furnished Byers' bail. We have been searching this same building since the middle of January, this year, for intoxicat- ing liquors, and proceeding against one William Brown who was indicted by the Grand Jury in December for the crime of perjury, was taken to jail on a capias and was bailed out by James and Phillip McParland.


This building on Cottage Street has been occupied by par- ties during all of the twenty months I have served in an offi- cial capacity, who are and have been bound to sell liquor in spite of all law, and when they cannot do it without, they ped- dle it by the drink from the pocket. This is a notorious place and has been raided as many as forty times within the two years.


The case of Patrick Collins was taken before the Grand Jury, and a bill found. He was indicted at the September term of the Superior Court, but was not tried until December, when the jury disagreed. Mr. Collins was confined in jail between courts and after trial in December would still have been kept there if bail had not been furnished ; his case will come on again in April of this year.

Paid for services and expense of detectives, $84 00 for leaves and blanks, 40 25
