According to Harold McFa~- lan, presiding minister of the Forest Grove congregation, the lengthy petition cited specific names and places of police bru tality that were personally au thenticated by eight of the ten American missionaries deported August 3 from the Dominican Re public. The missionaries related their experiences at a regional assembly in Baltimore, where the petition was originally adopted August 24 by 33,091 of Jehovah’s Witnesses in attendance. The petition was addressed to Generalissimo Trujillo, acknow ledged dictator of the Caribbean republic, and named the Roman Catholic Church as sharing the blame for the government's ac tion. Reporting on the atrocities des cribed in the petition, Mr. Mc Farlan said, "In one sector whole families were taken to prison and the male members of the fami lies were beaten senselss befoi ■ their own wives and children. Other male Witnesses were kick ed and hit with rifle butts until they were bleeding and fell ex- < hausted. Some were beaten and left unconscious on the ground in the patio of the prison witn blood running out of their ears, nose and mouth.
