A letter addressed to the Town Board was received from

accusations of Mrs. Ann Montgomery pertaining to his duties
as Police Sergeant.
Fifth Street
Greenport, N.Y.
November 18, 19~.
Hon. Norman E. Klipp, Supervisor
and Members of Southold Town Board
~Dear Sirs:
I understand that at ~he Town Board meeting held
November 5~h, 1953, Mrs. Annie montgomery appeared before
the Board and made certain accusations pertaining to my
duties as Police Sergeant, with regard tea matter that
took place on November 2nd, 1953.
The following is my report to you of the action
that was taken by me at that time.
At ~:%5 A.M. a call was received at Police Head-
quarters from Patricia DeJesus of Wiggins Street, Greenport,
Southold Town. The complainant stated that he had been
robbed of his wallet and keys to his house. I was sent to
investigate, and ~hen I arrived at ~:02 A.M. DeJesus was~
at the home of his next-door neighbor~ WillAamMitchell,
and had called from there, DeJesus stated that somebody
had stolen his wallet containing about $100.00 and also
keys to his house.
I asked him where he ~ad been and he stated
that he had been at William Mitchell's house about l0
November 1st, and paid him for ~aking care of his chickens,
dogs~ etc. while he was at work and then he went to Len
Jones and Vivian Hodges on Third Street~ Greenport, and a
taxi brought him home from there. When he could not find the
keys to his house, he fell asleep on h~s front porch~ W~en
he woEe up his wallet was missing.
I said to him, let's look around the outside
of the house, maybe you lost them there. He and I~looked
around the house and on the front porch~ and then in the
street, where I found ~is wallet in the gutter of the street.
I opened the wallet in front of DeJesus and there was no
money, only papers and cards. He then stated that Mitchell
must have rolled him of his money while he was asleep on .the
porch.
I then went to Mitchell's house with DeJesus
and told him about finding the wallet, and what DeJes~s
had said. Mitchell said that DeJesus was lying because
DeJesus had the money in his wallet when he left Mitchell's
house. I then sa~d to DeJesus, maybe you have the keys
and money in your pockets, and I proceeded to search him
in'front of Mitchell at DeJesus' request, and found $87.00
and some change in'his pants pocket, also the keys to his
hbuse in his coat pocket. DeJesus was satisfied with the
results and went home.
I explained the above investigation to Chief
Anrig on November 9th, 19%3.
Very truly yours,
SEt. Theodore B. Howar~
