A. L. Taggart, president of the board, made no comment on the matter, but at the time Shubert was tried he stated no political powers could influence him la the matter and that the dismissal or* retention of Lieut. Shubert would rest upon the evidence presented in the case and on the investigation made by the board and other city officials. On Saturday, June 18, Lieut. Shubert was found by members of the police force at the Hazelton hotel In a state of In toxication and his badge was taken from him at that time. DENIED HE WAS INTOXICATED. In the trial, which was held nt a special meeting of the board of public sjffety, Shubert denied he was intoxicated when found at the hotel. He said he had a severe cold and that he had taken several doses of bromidia and had taken a hypodermic injection of morphine that he might get some rest and sleep. He called several doctors In, who tes tified that the mixture of bromidia and morphine would produce a stupor and a half-hypnotic state that might be mis taken for dreunkenness. Dr. Richard A. Poolee testified that Shubert had called at his home late iu the evening the aay before he was found at the Kazelton hotel, and that he had given him an injection of morphine lu the arm. Lieut.

The dismissal of Shubert is looked on as a blow to c*rtain politicians close to the city administration. Shubert is a close friend of George V. Collin, former chief of police, and served under Coffin a* a deputy sheriff when Coffin v.-a3 sheriff. It was through the efforts of Coffin and through his own efforts in lining up the vote that Shubert received the rank of lieutenant of police despite his previous poor record. Patrolman Morris, who was tried at the same time that the Shubert case came up. admitted he took a “couple of drinks of gin that another fellow offered him,” but he denied he had been In the habit of taking a little “eye opener.” Police officer said Morris’ wife said he bad been drinking for three or four days.
