tectives has in many cases
in relation to persons arrested, charged with
the commission of off nses, been unneces-
sarlv harsh and in some cases brutal: and
Your grand jury would respectfully recon-
mend that this honorable court direct the
! early attention of the mayor and chief of
police of the city of Minneapolis 10 this fact,
with the recommend ltion that the matter be
| by them fully aud carefully investigated.
