By NOBLE REED A long record of illegal police tactics was disclosed today as a result of the investigation into the unlawful arrest of two employed Indianapolis girls who paid $250 in “fees” before they were released, Police records revealed that the wife of one soldier who was staying at a downtown hotel while her hus pand was on army maneuvers in Tennessee. was arrested by police officers as she sat alone in her room.

Later they were arraigned municipal court 3 and ordered confined to the city isolation hospital. They were kept at the hospital two days before an investigation resulted in their release. In another case, a woman secretary to an executive of a downtown retail store complained that she was arrested illegally while sitting alone in a tavern drinking a bottle of
