AN INTERESTING CASE WHAT FORCE
SHOULD BE USED IN NAMING GARREsTs.-Yssterday
afternoon IN alteration occurred between several
coored boys, In front Of Senator Summers resi-
dence, on /, between Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets, which finally onded In fight between n
white boy and Joseph Lewis, a colored lad aged l2
years. After tho fight was over 0fficer ]. B. vii.
son appeared on the scene and after a chase Of
several blocks, and with the assistance Of Citizen
captured young Lewis, who resisted strenuously.
Oficer Wilson, in endoayoring to secure the lad,
thought 1t necessary to use his billy, which he did,
inhicting ghastly wound on his head, laying open
the scalp and causing the blood to aow profusely.
Several gentlemen, attracted by the crowd, fol-
lowed the officer to the Office Of Justice Bates, and
thero lodged formal complaint against him for
using unnecessarily harsh measures in making the
arrest. The policeman was held to bail for hear.
ing in the aiternoon and Superintendent Richards,
having been notified Of the circumstances Of the
case, at once suspended Officer Wilson from further
duty on the force.
At 4 p. IN. the case was heard before Justice
Bates The boy Lewis was first called upon to
give his statement Of the affair, which he did in an
intelligent and Straightforward manner stating that
the fight had been over several minutes previous to
the appearance Of the officer, and that the "bright
boy passed him without being arrested, whereas he
was taken while quietly leaning against the railing.
Several colored men deposed to the same effect,
after which Major Richards, superintendent Of po-
lice, gave his testimony and stated that no officer
police, under the rules Of the Board, should
his baton except in cases where his life was imper
llled.
Several gentlemen present testified that the boy
resisted violently, and that in their opinion no un
necessary force was used in making the arrest.
Mr. smithers, of this city, and Billings @, Childs,
Of PittsbuIg, Pa, argued the for the plaintiff
and Squire Clark for Officer Wilson.
Justice Bates required the defendant to give $500
bail for his appearance at court on the charge Of
assault and battery, and fined the yOungster 81 for
his disorderly conduct
