the Detective
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

OAKLAND. April 25.-Claiming that
he was falsely imprisoned in the
Berkeley jail for two days, Philip de
Meana, living at the Holland house. at
Twenty second and Grove streets, fled
suit for $2s.99 damages in Justice
Quinn's court today against Detective
Jamison of the Berkeley police force.
The suit grows out of De Meana's
arrest by the Berkeley officer some
time ago on suspicion that he was a
"masher' against whom a number OF
young women of the college town mad
made complaints. While investigating
charge made by one of the young
women the police found a coat near
the place where the alleged "mashipg''
took place. which contained one of De
Meana's cards. Detective Jamison went
to the mans home. arrested him and
took him in handouts to the Berkeley
jail. where he was kept for two days
and then discharged. A short time
previously De Meana had reported to
the Oakland police that his room had
been burglarized and a quantity Of
clothing stolen. In his complaint
against Jamison he claims that the
coat which was responsible for his ar
rest was one that was taken from
his room.
