Williams Says He Was Beaten by Detectives. OBJECTS TO THIRD DEGREE Voting Man Charged With Thert Declares Officers Were Brutal in Efforts to Extort Ad- mission of Guilt Charges that gross brutality was used by detectives in attempting to extort a confession from P. J. Williams, a young man charged with the larceny of a purse, were presented in the Municipal Court yesterday forenoon, when the prisoner was taken up for arraignment. Williams exhibited a blood-stained handkerchief In the courtroom and said he had been struck repeatedly in the face in the of fice of Sergeant Baty, acting captain of detectives. "They beat me- because I would not confess to a theft that I knew nothing about," said he. "They insisted that I stole a pocketbook and wanted the money back. Every time I wouldn't tell I got a sound blow in the face. I was hit in the nose several times, and the blows drew blood." In order that a thorough Investigation may be made of this alleged outrage in Baty's office, the case was continued until Monday. In the meantime the facts will be looked into by A. Walter 'olfe and John H. Stevenson, attorneys for the accused man. Chief Gritzmacher is also investigating the conduct of his officers. Besides Baty, Detectives Craddoek and Mallett were- present at the inquisition. Both these officers have long been fa vorably known in the department, and there Is reluctance to believe they would be guilty of such misconduct. However, they admit they were "pwtting Williams through a course of sprouts." but deny he was struck or injured In any way. Williams' capture was effected by Jessie Malloy. a young woman who re sides at 627 First street. She was with Mrs. P. French, of Baker City, at the Rosamond House Thursday afternoon, when Mrs. French's purse containing $77.50 was stolen. She saw Williams in Mrs. Frenc.i s room and suspected him of the theft. After the Baker City woman had left the city for California, Miss Malloy chanced to see the suspect, in a billiard-room on Fourth street, near 'Tay lor. She called him outside, explained that she suspected him and asked him to go to the police station. He ran. she pursued him. attracted a large crowd, and by her plucky conduct forced Will iams to accompany her to Third and Al der streets, where she turned him over to an officer. "I knew the man as soon as I saw him." said Miss Malloy yesterday. In de scribing the capture. "There was no of ficer in sight, so I decided to. capture him. I called him out. a'hd on finding what I wanted, he ran. I went after him and called for help. He finally stopped. I told him If he ran again I would hold onto his coat-tails and scream. He went with me then until we came across an officer, who took him to the station." Williams persists that he is Innocent and says he is a victim of a woman's groundless suspicion. As to being in Mrs. French's room, he says that is a mistake. He had the room adjoining her's and Miss Malloy saw him emerge from his own room and not that of the Baker City woman, he says. It Is un derstood that Mrs. French will return to Portland and prosecute the suspected man. RECITAL TO CLOSE SEASON Symphony Orchestra Will . Give Final Concert Next Tuesday.
