offering to hold, at any time or place,
a- public hearing of the charges of bru
tality made asalnat Vancouver poltca

Attorney Greene Inferred that if pro
pe-r investigation into the boy' charges
could not be made In court, he would
ask for a public hearing. ! ' . t ; ,
Willie Daake, half-witted so of an
Impoverished carpenter, Is charged with
having robbed the- Presbyterian manse
In Vancouver on the night; of Sunday,
Rpptember 18. He was arrested by Po
licemen Charles Glltnore and Gasaway
Tuesday; night and, according to his
tory, was cuffed, kicked and threatened
ty them.. He was locked up -ir a cell
. In thjs city" jail . - - ' -A.-'-.;... ,
The shocking part of the lad's story Is
where It deals wlth..his alleged hanging
by threa officers, whom he declared
; took him from his cell - shortly after
midnight Tuesday, and hanged him by
the neck until he confessed to the rob
bery, commisslpn of which, he main
tained before and afterward, he was
really Innocent He said that he be
lieved the officers would do what they
threatened hang him by the neck until
he was djpad so he told them he rob
bed the manse. He said - they poured
water Into his mouth, kicked him and
cursed at him. '
The Boy's Story. - - '
Tyillle was taken to . the county Jail
the next morning; and stayed there for
two. days before his . father got from
him an explanation of the presence of
a blue mark about his neck. "When the
boy .told him the story of the alleged
hanging, the father summoned Dr. J.
T. Guerln, who said, after an examina
tion, that the bruise was such as would
have been made by a rope or cord drawn
tightly about the boy's neck. In spite
of the efforts of inquisitors to muddle
his mind, Willie retold the story a dozen
time' In detail; - tV ;- h(- n v iv. tj '. r
Daake, the father, laid charge against
the policemen before the mayor and city
' council. Thursday night of last week
the police committee of the city council
held a secret hearing, present at which
were two policemen, the chief of police,
the mayor and the boy - When the boy-'s
father , applied for admittance he was
turned away. Not even was Attorney
. Greene called. The result of the secret
hearing: was a report sentIn by the po
lice, committee, exonerating; the police
men, of -charges. , , ,.
Aronses Indignation.
The .manner of the holding, of the
hearing ahoused protest from all sides.
Citizens demanded a public-hearing in
the cause of right , and Justice, . When
the city council at its regular meeting
Monday night passed the report of the
police committee, indignation grew, ; Pe
tltlona demanding a public hearing .wan
drawn up and circulated, These pet!-'
tlona were withdrawn yesterday when
the boy's case was set for trial" Saturday.
Great Interest has been shown In the
case pf the boy. His trial probably will
pack the courtroom. It promises to be
sensational Its most Important point
probably will hinge on 'whether the

boy's confession was forced from him
by violence and threats. ' Policemen
charged with hanging him probably wlU
be called to testify under oath Just what
occurred In the city jail. Dr. Guerin will
be. a witness for the defense, and through
others Attorney Greene hopes to estab

-:.," ' Other Bobberies. . : v ,
Two robberies which occurred Satur
day night have strengthened the boy's
case. The manner in which they were
committed closely resembles that sur
rounding the robbery of the Presbyterian
manse, from which Jewelry and trinkets
valued at 'about ; 176 1 were taken. In
spite of .the alleged confession of the
Daake boy, the police have been unable
to recover any of the stolen property.
In the last few weeks several robberies
of like nature have been committed.
Women have shown much Interest In
the boy's case. -One reason, of course,
was the shocking nature of his story
told of the third degree methods em
ployed by the police. Another was that
he Is motherless. His father Is practi
cally penniless. "
