In open court, the judge announced that until "certain matters are adjusted,” he will not consider any liquor law cases filed by police. The judge directed his announcement particularly at Raymond St. Clair, a member of the police prohibitio i squad. St. Clair did not ask for a statement of a reason by the court for its action. However, Judge Bock made reference to a reputed statement by Police Chief Bell that 70 per cent of liquor case defendants were given suspended sentences. This was denied by Judge Bock. He said that St. Clair and a safety board membei* had told him that Bell never madei the statement, but the court declared : “However, the chief has not denied it to me.” The police department and City Judge Charles Eichel are also at loggerheads. Recently special bailiffs appointed by Eichel to conduct liquor and gambling raids were arI rested by police. In retaliation ; Eichel charged Chief Bell and the three safety board members with contempt of his court. The case is pending.
