trials. j In a strongly worded opinion' written by Judge Michael J. Fansler, the court declared that "it is /better that some criminals escape ! punishment thatn that the officers !of the law turn lawless in their zeal to procure evidence." Specifically, the court reversed a conviction made In the laike county criminal court and ordered the defendant, Gus Kokenes. 27. lof Chicago, returned from the i state reformatory for a new trial. I Kokenes was arrested Nov. 25, j 11936, following the robbery of an . alleged Gary gambling establish-I meat. At the time of his trial he j declared he had nothing to do j ' with the robbery and had entered the house to make a bet on a horse I <

> race. Then, according to the testimony. I lie was taken to the Gary police station, placed in a back room and ordered Io undress. He said an officer knocked one of his teeth out and placed him in solitary con finement when he refused to confess. Kokenes said he spent two days In solitry and was beaten on three : occasions, police alternately using I black jacks and a rubber hose. Luter he was removed to the j jail at Crown Point where Al ' Lltchenfeldt. Gary officer, made ■ further threats to punish him. Kokenes said he finally decided to "sign anything" through fear. He was found guilty by a jury i on April 8. 1937 of robbery and ■

robbery while armed and was sen- , tcnced to 10 to 25 years. The su- > I pretne court overruled his claim 1 [ that he couldn't have been found 1 I guilty of both charges since he | . I I was being "jeopardized twice for | I the same alleged crime.'' Holding that evidence indicated Kokenes Was tortured by police I into confessing the crime, the ' court said: "The state does not expect, it | expressly forbids and condemns such methods. It is better that ; some criminals escape punishment . than that the officers of the law turn lawless in their zeal to proI cure evidence. “Once It has been shown that lawless. Inquisitorial means have , ' have been used by the stage's rep-

resentatives for the purpose otj procuring a confession, the state j Is on the defensive. "Confession following such coer-1 j clve methods should be rejected unless and until It Is made to ap'pear that the defendant has acknowledged the confession to be j voluntary under circumstances under which he is clearly free from ■ fear and coercion. "This works no Injury on the, state, since it Is contemplated that . when charged with a crime a defendant may stand mute even when put upon hfs defense. Then he must be convicted upon evidence other than that furnished by himself. unless he freely and voluntarily elects to give evidence." N. A.
