Page 4 . <br /> `r <br /> Chief Priestly: "what it is . " <br /> Chm. Thomas : "I think that is as it should be. It is the manner in which <br /> an individual is conducting that investigation. I think that <br /> is what is being question here by this individual, not by me. <br /> But this is what is being questioned by this individual is <br /> the manner by which this investigation is being conducted. <br /> You will never know and I will never know what actually trans- <br /> pired between these individuals in terms of words said, we <br /> will never know. However, she has gone , she saw fit to put <br /> in a formal letter. Do you have anything to add to that Chet?" <br /> Sel. Garland: " Yes , and I have to qualify what I have to say by admitted <br /> up front that I am very prejudice against Mr. Martini. In <br /> the stand point that I have seen and personally experienced <br /> his absolutely total arrogance towards anybody or anything <br /> that tends to direct him. in a proper direction. I could lend <br /> some credence to the fact that he may have said you are under <br /> suspicion. I think it is a highly improper statement to make. <br /> If it was made , I can somewhat believe that he could of made <br /> it. <br /> Chief Priestly: "I can' t say one way or the other. " <br /> i <br /> Sel. Garland: " Because in my opinion he is terribly arrogant individual . <br /> Just the way he sat here the other day, when we were all <br /> here, slouched down� in the-'-chair and -his feet up on the chair <br /> i <br /> in front of him. He just doesn't give a dam about anybody <br /> or anything, in my opinion. So on that basis I am going to <br /> have to disqualify pretty much what I say. I am dertermine <br /> that we are going to get to the bottom of this . I have no <br /> qualms whatsoever for a full scale investigation taking <br /> place by your department -or the police department on any sub- <br /> ject that comes within the perview of your departments . I <br /> have a tremendous amount of, objection if this investigation <br /> is done in an improper manner. I feel that if these allega- <br /> tions are true, that is an improper manner. " <br /> Chief Priestly: " I ' ll go along with that. " <br /> Sel. Garland: " I further feel that if these people are asked to appear at <br /> the scene and are made to wait there for several hours , she <br /> doesn' t say by whom, I think that is improper manner. I think <br /> if the person was requested to go back to the police department <br /> a number of times , that may not be quite right, how many times <br /> do you have to have a person in, how many times do you think <br /> a question that you should of asked the last time you saw them: <br /> What I question of this whole thing is not the fact that an <br /> investigation took place, it might still be on going for all <br /> I know, it is the fact of the improper conduct to a resident <br /> of this Town,regardless whether these people may or may not <br /> be guilty of anything. They do have basic rights . That where <br /> I find the whole problem is . Personally I doubt very much if <br /> they would commit, unless they were insane, commit these sta- <br /> tements in writing if there wasn' t some basis for this . I think <br /> I can regognize the fact that these people have had a herendous <br /> experience . " <br />
