EDWARD ALLEN ALLEGED SEAT.
TILE POLICE SCARED HIM
INTO PLEADING GUILTY.
Seeks Aid From State Supreme Court
to Save Him From Ten Year
Sentence.

Charging that Seattle police officers
intimidated him into pleading guilty
Edward Allen, sentenced to ten years
Imprisonment for the robbery of
Mkt, has appealed to the supreme
court to have the judgment of con
viction set aside.
Allen says he had been employed as
porter at the Colonial hotel and later
chopped wood at Alki point and was
was taken sick and went to Seattle.
There he met the others accused of
the robbery, a speaking acquaint-
ance," because they took lunch at tho
same place.
He denies that he had anything to
do with tine robbery. While in the
city Jail at Seattle he says the Off
GERS tried to induce him to confess and
plead guilty and when he refused they
would say Down in the hole with
him."
For that reason when the case was
called for trial, he says he pleade-
guilty, the detectives having told min
that if ne would plead guilty his sen
tence would be lighter.
