POLICE DENY USE OF ‘THIRD DEGREE’

‘Never Even Heard of It,’ Is How City Cops See Problem. Criminal suspects questioned by Incu-Ftiapolis police and detectives not subjected to "brutal, third degree” methods that have been scored *>e Wickersham commission being used by police in almost every city of the country, police officials here said today. In fact, according to Detective Captain Herman Rademacher and Detective Chief Fred Simon, such methods “have never been heard of” by the officials. “We might question a suspect all day, but he is not forced to undergo day and night quizzing,” he said. “Our treatment of prisoners is opposite to those claimed to exist by the commission. We often buy meals for prisoners while they are being questioned.” Police Captain Jesse McMurtry. also denied the use of third degree methods. He scored the report of the commission and manner in which the purported information was gathered. “That commission would do better if it had three police reporters in every city conduct the investigation,” he said. “The reporters are around headquarters all the time and know what is going on.” Despite the denials, many cases in which suspects have claimed before local courts that they were subject to endure cold, lack of food and brutal treatment, have been recorded.
