We are convinced that this complainant was the victim of a cowardly and brutal assult by two officers of station No. 2, the identity of the two officers being know and undoubtedly this ry would have made a presentation against these two officers if it were not for the fact that the complaining witn a bootlegger, was prevailed upon to drop the charges which he had filed with the Police Trial Board The evidence showed that this man had been beaten severely with a rub- ber hose by two officers while held a prisoner in No. 2, and while he was still smarting from the effects this mistreatment, physically and mentally, he filed charges with the trial board against these oimicers Prisoner Scared Ofr. The day the trial was to be held, he telephoned to the police author ies that he did not desire to pre the charges, and when questioned to his reason for his changed atti- tude, he indicated that some Influent ial friends had advised him to stop.

We have some criticism to make of a few members of the force—the number being negligible—but the disclosure of their misconduct has not destroyed our confidence in, and respect for the others. Because one man in a 100 the police force is found unfit, entire force is no more to be htly condemned than any other 1 ‘of an organization, whether it a church, a lodge, a club, or a ness corporation treatment of prisoners, after rrest, is considered under two class- ations: First, the mistreatment of s for the purpose of obtaln- ing confessions of crimes or gullty knowledge; secondly, the mistreat- ment of prisoners for any other rea- the if prison Cope With Vicious Criminals. “The po take custody of many vicious criminals, who are armed and ready to kill, if need be, to escape. No sensible person would expect, much less desire, an officer under such con- ditions to take any chance, either of suffering an inury himself or of los- ing his prisoner. If errors of judg- ment are made, they usually favor the prisoner, because the policeman ac- cepts unreasonable risks many times, rather than run any risk of having charges made against him by well meaning, but misguided individuals who are shocked at the rough hand- ling of a prisoner, but have no con- sideration for the policeman. It should be borne in mind that officers who find themselves in trouble with a prisoner, not only have a lawful right to protect themselves from assault, but the right to use such force as may be necessary to make good the arrest, even to the extent in the case of felony of Killing the prisoner if neces- sary to prevent his escape. Natural- ly, it must be left to the judgment of Police Department to enforce it. There should certainly be no room on the force for officers of this character, and the sooner the department cleans house of such men the soomer third-degree charges will end and public suspicion cease. The retention of such men, who have been referred to by their superior officer as ‘rough and hard-boiled’ is unfair to the other 99 per cent of the force who discharge their obligations to the community efficiently and with credit to all concerned. Attack Called Cowardly. “We also received a complaint from another man who had been held at No. 9 station house, under a charge of being intoxicated. The complainant ad- mitted the truth of the charge, and that while in the station he may also have been noisy. Butn any event he was in a defenseless condition at the station, and whether it was because he was noisy or profane there certainly was no justification for the brutal assault made upon him while in No. 9. The prisoner was a small man, as compared with the average sized policeman, and under the circumstances the attack on him was a cowardly one. The evidence showed that he was struck on the jaw with a blow of the fist with such force that his jaw was badly broken on both sldes and the man permanently injured. In this case, also, the inspector who investigated the charges for the Police Department was of the opfnion the as- sault occurred as alleged, but it is only fair to the department in this case to record that the individual who com- mitted this outrageous attack could not be positively identified by the prisoner, and the officer therefore could not be brought before the trial board. He in- terrogated the officers who were on duty in this station the night of the assault, and all denied any knowledge of it. It seems strange that such an outrageous assault could be committed in a station where there were several officers, whose duty it was to protect their prisoners, and none of them should know anything about the occurrence. “The Davis case at No. 7 presents a. similar situation, and the complain- ant is referred to by name because lying | n(‘ MRS. SCOTT DENIES CODE WITH CLERK | the case has been given wide pub- licity in the local newspapers. Davis Vietim of Revenge. “We heard long list of witnesses In this case were convinced that the complainant, Davis, was the vie- tim of a vicious and unlawful assault by officers on duty that precinct the night of The evidence showed that this assault kad nothing whatever to do with any effort to obtain a statement or confeasion from the prisoner in connection with any against him, but that, as a of fact, the assault was an of revenge for the assault mad Davis on a police officer a little arlier in the evening. Davis refers to himself as a “boy” for purposes of gaining sympathy. As a matter of fact, he is an ex-pugilist, probably the equal in physical strength of any officer on the force. He is pugnacious at is arrest charge matter act b; by instinct and has been the subject f many complaints to the police | There is no doubt in our minds but that he made a cowardly and brutal attack on an officer, possibly to im- press the police that he was a good | one to let alone, or possibly to dis- tinguish himself further in the eyes of the gang which hung out at the scene of the assault made by Davis. It appears he struck the- officer down from behind, without warning, and continued to assault the officer long after he had been rendered practi- cally unconscious. Prisoner Also Scored. “However vicious and unpardon- able the assault of Davis may have been, it was no lawful justification for what followed upon his arrest later that evening. When he w. taken a prisoner to No. 7 he was entitled to the protection of the offi- cers on duty just as much as an other prisoner. That they falled of this duty there is no doubt in our minds. From the evidence we be- Heve Davis was taken to the No. T station house that night shortly be. fore 12 o'clock, a well conditioned man, and that he remained there in keeping of the police until about 3:30 in the morning, when he was re- moved to the hospital in a condition approaching physical collapse. We believe that in the interval of time indicated he was assaulted by offi- cers at No. 7 with rubber hose, blackjacks and possibly other blunt instruments. The conditlon of his body the following morning and for days afterward exhibited the marks of such a beating. We have felt it our duty, in view of all the evidence before us in this case, to present in- dictments against two of the officers, believing the evidence against them sufficient for court action. We be- lieve other officers were involved in this matter, either as actual partici- pants or having guilty knowledge of the assault, but we do not feel their identification from the evidence be- fore us was sufficiently positive to warrant their indictment. Tried to Widen Probe. “To summarize, this Investigation, which has been carried on concur- rently with our regular duties as members of the grand jury, has been as broad and thorough as time has permitted. We have Inquired Into all the complaints which were brought to our attention, numbering 14 in all. This number was later res duced to 11, when three individuals declined to make statements to us. Of the 11, six alleged mistreatment for the purpose of obtaining confes- sions or statements of an fncriminat- ing character from prisoners and the remaining five alleged mistreatment, but not third-degres methods with respect to confessions or statements. “We did not find any’ évidence to substantiate any charge or sus- picion that third-degree methods are resorted to by the police of this city for the purpose of obtaining confes- slons or incriminating statements, but we did find that prisoners had been mistreated for other reasons while in custody of the police, al- though there is no evidence that such misconduct is general, and the number of officers thus affected is relatively small, being about 1 per cent of the total number.” MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 1925. — - Karok Indians Lose Plea Filed To Save Streams Appellate Court Upholds Permit For Power Pro- jects in California. Hubert Work, Secretary of the In- terior, and the late Henry C. Wallace, as Secretary of Agriculture, were up- held today by the District Court of Appeals in their refusal as members the Federal Power Commission to entertain complaint of Steve Super and Benjamin H. Wilder, members of the “Karok tribe of Indians, against the approving of an application by the Electro-Metals Co. for a permit to establish power projects within the boundaries of the Klamath Na- tional Forest, in California. The In- dians claimed rights to the land in question which, they said, existed un- ‘er the government of Mexico before Indians were refused an in- junction against the Federal Power Commission by the District Supreme Court and that action is affirmed by the higher tribunal. The Court of Appeals points out that under act of March 3, 1851, Congress provided that 11 claims to title to the land in con- troversy should be made within two ars from the passage of the act be considered abandoned. The or plaintiffs made no such claims within the time limit and are barred, the court decides. FRENCH DEBT NOT TURNED OVER TO MELLON BY HUGHES “ontinued from First Page.) the dispute will be sent to The Hague court for final pronouncement. This solution would not be welcome in French circles, which belleve that while the United States would con- sent to submit Its case to the court's ruling, it would do so reluctantly. It is confidently expected that the other points before the conference will be settled satisfactorily, thanks to the competent preparatory work of the experts, Premier Herriot and Finance Minister Clementel have been holding daily conferencees in an en- vor to smooth the path for the conferees Some of the delegates have already arrived, notably Premier Bratiano of Rumania and M.

LONDON, January 5. -— Winston Churchill, chancellor of the ex- chequer, will carry on private dis- cussions on the subject of interallied debts with the various representa- tives at the conference of allied finance ministers in Paris Wednésday, it is understood The cabinet, which met today, is [said to have acquiesced in Mr. Churchill’'s suggestion that the debt problem be approached by informal| discussions instead of being brought up at the official sessions of the con- ference because of the desire of the United States Government to avoid an open discussion of the subject May Suggest Conference. In the private conversations which are expected to take place, the Brit- ish chancelior probably will present Great Britain's views, and may even advance a plan for a future debt con- ference, if the outlook warrants it It is understood, however, that Great Britain is not in a position to force the issue, and will not take the in- itiative in calling a_conference. The reply of the United States to the last note of England on the sub- ject of reparations and war damage claims was presented by Foreign Min- ister Chamberlain at today’s cabinet meeting. It was sald that the mote merely contained the statement of the American policy on the subject in or- der to apprise Great Britain of the United States attitude before the Paris meeting opens. Official circles refrain from express- ing an opinion on the subject, but it is expected that Mr. Churchill will meet the American representatives in Paris before the opening session of the minister's conference. WOMAN BURNS TO DEATH IN BOSTON HOSPITAL FIRE Another Patient, Nurse and Fire- man Injured—14 Carried to Safety in Blaze. By the Associated Press. BOSTON, Mass., January 5.—One woman was suffocated and three other persons—a patient, a nurse and a fireman—suffered severe burns or in- juries when fire vesterday swept through both buildings of the Scobey Hospital, a private institution on Beacon street. Fourteen patients and a nurse were carried down ladders or smoke-filled stairways to the street by firemen. The fire was believed to have origi- nated form a short circuit in the cellar of one of the bulldings. Elizabeth Jenkins, 24, of Boston, was found dead near a window on the top floor of the main building atter the fire had been extinguished. Helen Dwyer, a nurse, and Eugene Byington, a patient, ‘were carried from the building suffering from body burns. William E. Coughlin, a fireman, fell from the roof to the floor below and suffered a possible fracture of the spine. Sergt. Holmes Retired. First Sergt.
