In the Police Court yesterday afternoon, during
the trial of Policeman Chas. w. Hutchinson, OF
the South Washington precinct, for clubbing a
c0lOred prisoner named samuel Banks In which
ciSe fine of $40 was imposed as mentioned in
yesterdays STAR. Judge Mills took occasion to eX-
patiate on the rights Of policemen to Ike arrests
ai'd NOR particularly on their rights 10 u.s. their
clubs Banks whose he I'd and lace bore severe
cuts, the result OF clubbing he received at the
hands OF the po1ceman, stated that he was ar
rested at bar-room at The corner Oh AZ street and
Maryland avenue soul Invest by the officer for no
cddS', and when lie caught the officer 10y the collar
aItnr receiving simii.r treatment he was dubbed
by the latter. The officers charges or assault ami
dsor .erly conduct ag inst the prisoner were dis
missed at previous hearing.
Inc officer Claimed that he only acted In SELF
defense, anu Mr.. Daniel Cahill his counsel, stated
TIE policeman Was only doing his duty and it
would be bad precedent to impose a fine On an
Oflictr in a case like this.
Judge Mills, I'm diSpOSing OF the case. said: "ThiS
