Then Lieut. Amiss was motioning with his baton, and it struck Fowler. Witness was surprised when he saw Fowler bleeding, because be did not think the blow was a hard on On cross-cxamination the witnoas said he did not believe that Lieut. Amiss saw witness when he | took Fowler by the throat and sboved him back. ‘The witness thought Fowler should have been | arrested for being disorderly because he would | not move back. Policeman Joshua Sprinkel, was in charge at the first precinct police station when Fowler was brought in. Fowler was brought in by an officer with a patrol wagon. When Fowler bad given hix name and answered the usual ques- tions, witness said: ‘This man had better be taken to the hospital," whereupon Fowler said: “It amounts to nothing. It was merely an ac- cident. My head was thrown back and I my lip cut.” The officer who brought him the patrol wagon was not the officer who made the arrest, and did not know what the charge was against Fowler. Witness had him sent to the hospital to have his lip sewed up. Wit- ness not knowing what the charge was when Fowler was brought in entered the charge “suspicion” to hold him until he could learn what the truth was. When Fowler was brought back from the hospital be was locked up. Sergt. Shilling testified te a conversation he had with Fowler the day after the a be- cause in a newspaper article Sergt. ing’s name was moutinaed as his assailant Fowler said he would have the matter corrected. In that conversation Fowler said he did not care about the assuult or the $5, but he was sore because he had been taken to the station house in the patrol wagon and locked up in the sta- ton. Fowler then said “an accident of that to anybody in a big crowd.” Fowler ‘that they had made a charge of “suspicion” against him and changed it to “disorderly.” Policeman Nelson also described operations at the corner. After Fowler was struck witness said to Lieut. Amias: “Iam going to arrest that man. I've told him two or three times to keep back.” The lieutenant said to take him, and witness took him out to the patrol wagon and turned him overto the man incharge. The man asked what the charge was and the witness said: “Hold him on suspicion.” Fowler did not say anything when witness took him. Nelson said he told ‘the officer with the patrol wagon to charge Fowler with suspicion, because he wanted Fowler to be held so he’ could not get back into the crowd. He could not be released on collateral while that charge was recorded against him. Judge Miller made some remarks heartily | condemning such practices on the part of the police. “Some day,” he said, “when an officer makes a false entry on the books against a mau he will be released from custody on a writ of habeas as and the officer will take the prisoner's place in the dock. ‘That sort of thing t to be broken up.” “That was the most extraordinary statement Lever heard an officer make,” added Attorney Cl it.
