I feel that the police force as a whole, however, certainly does not. Unfailing courtesy was laid down by Gen. Crosby when he became Commis- sioner as the cardinal principle of a policeman’s creed, and he finds it diffi- cult to realize that Washington police- men are charged with its violation, and it _grieves him even more because the alleged beatings occurred in his ab- sence, forcing Commissioner Reichelder- fer to deal drastically with a particu- larly disturbing situation The first details of the third degree scandal were given to Commissioner Crosby by the writ'r, who boarded his homeward bound trzin in Pittsburgh early this morning.

Because of the seriousness of the police situation he plans to go to the District Bufldlnll this afternoon to get first-hand infor- mation about the storm that has brought an unhappy ending to his otherwise enjoyable vacation. “I can't understand ‘why any police- man will beat a prisoner.,” Commission- er Crosby said, “when he knows that such tactics will cost his job, his re- o sorry | charges of Henry I immediately inter- THE EVENING Backs Probe !

The first of the five recommendations | made by the grand jury urged discon- tinuance of the special grand jury sys- tem, except in cases of dire emergency. s “‘uneconomic and utterly futile.” The other recommendations were for increasing Chicago's police force of 6,000, which the jury pointed out was inadequate, as compared with New York’s 20,000: more frequent shifting of police personnel in the “bad” districts to lessen chances for graft, continua- tion of police efficiency and merit rat- unscientific, archaic AR, W. PRSONERSFEAR POLICE REPRISL Make Statements of Brutal- ity After Assurance Officials Would Protect Them. (Continued From First Page.) and Theodore Crown, driver of one of news cars. A statement signed bv Capt. Arnold in the presence of Col. Willam L. Peake, ruperintend- ent of the Jail, puolished herewith, makes it plain that no inducements of any kind were offered either prisoner When I first visited the jail. the possibility of interviewing either Martz or Sampson did not occur to me. I was sent there to talk to Ralph Alken, one of three persons held in connection with the slaying of Mrs. Elizabeth Jaynes, Garden T Shoppe cashier. The assumption was that if the police were using third-degree methods, the Jeynes case, wnich has caused the entire force considerable annoyance, would be the one in which such methods would be most likely to b2 resorted to. After interviewing Aiken, who insisted the police had accorded him only the most considerate treatment, I talked to Thomas Jordan, one of the others held in connecticn with the case. He told me he had no complaint to make other than that a member of the homicide squad threatened to beat him. but was told to “cut it out” by Capt. Edward J. Kelly, assistant chief of the Detective Bureau, and Sergt. James Springmann, i head of the squad. Before returning to his cell, however, Jordan told me another priconer had asked to talk to me. This man, 1 was told, had heard a guard tell Jordan a Star reporter wished to see him. ‘The man’s name is Sampson.” Jordan said, “and he told me to tell you he was treated pretty rough by the bulls' and would like to talk to you abcut it. Checked Sampson’s Story, When Sampson wes brought out, T told him what Jordan had said and asked him to tell me his story from the beginning. His statement already has been published in The Star and need not be repeated here. To check up on Sampson's tale, I called on the two men arrested with him, one of them at his home here and the ‘other at Occoquan, where he is a prisoner. The first man, a taxicab driver. told me in the presence of his wife that he was beaten at the police station. “I'll admit to you that T was beaten,” he said, “ in the paper, I'll deny it How did they beat you Did they use their flsts or clubs “They beat me with their fists,” was | the_answer. ‘They must have used something harder than their fists,” his wife broke in, “because you were all covered with blood when I saw you. It is worth noting, I think, that Stoll | and another inspector, T. A. Bean, told me both the taxi driver and his wife denied having told me anything abcut the slleged police brutality. And it is also worth noting that the cab driver according to the records of the Police Department, was a member of the force for a month, but was dismissed when he was found guilty of having made an untruthful statement in his application. Verifies Sampson's Version. From the taxi driver’s home, I went to Occoquan, where I interviewed Prenk Kostyo, the other man named by Zampscn. In the presence of Capt | A. L. Petitt, superintendent of the work bouse, and Frank Carter, another em- ploye of The Star, Kostyo readily szid he had been beaten. His story wre statement that the cab driver was as- saulted. When I reported my findings to my superiois. 1 was told to obtain written statements from both Sampson and | Kostyo. Before 1 left the office 1 typed a brief statement containing the gist of what Sampson had told me in the previcus interview, At my request he repeated his tale in the presence of Capt. Arnold and Crown. I handed him the typewritten statement and asked him if he con- sidered it an accurate outline of his de- tailed story. He answered in the af- firmative I gave the statement to Capt. Arnold, repeating the question I had put to| Sampson. The captain read the state- ment aloud. pausing at frequent inter- vals to ask Sampson if this or that portion was correct. In each instance Sampson replied affirmatively. Capt. ASHINGTON n FRIDAY.

In obtaining the four statements, I made no effort to persuade the signers. On the contrary, I took pains not to do or say anything that could be in- terpreted as even a hint that any one was interested in anything other than true statements, offered voluntarity. As can be seen from this account, the only difficulty I had to overcome was the fear that the police would “make it hard” for complaints, and this was evi- | denced only in the cases of Martz and 2w A—S ' CLERGYMEN SCORE |THIRD DEGREE SUT POLIGE BRATALITY Many Urge Judgment Be“ Withheld by Public Until Probe Ends.
