of fat TObberies on the upper West Side

man with the bag knew the law and

policeman decided To take the chance and

There il was found that the bag was

for several of the persons who had been
robbed, and within an hour OF two several
OF the pieces had been positively indenti-

the man broke down and confessed TO three

able cause to believe that the person ar
rested committed it.
In many cases of illegal arrest. Of course.
especially where the prisoner seems to
have been unfairly treated. the affair is
settled in the station house when the officer
in charge there hears the stories Of both
sides. Not infrequently they come To
court. If the man actually did the thing
with which he is charged. he is not likely
to complain very strongly about the man
ner in which ne was arrested.
Il cannot speak exactly from my own
knowledge about the treatment prisoners
receive after they have been arrested.
Tire is no doubt. however that it is often
pretty severe. When man has reached
the station house. if ne has been refractory
he often gets a beating. That, of course.
is altogether illegal. no matter what his
offence has been. An officer is authorized
to use only such force as is necessary to
bring his prisoner to the station.
In making arrests on suspicion. I do not
think the police often abuse their priyj-
leee They must have wide discretion in
such matters. For instance, r man was
brought before me in the Harlem court not
long ago. charged with burglary. lie was
not well dressed. but he talked like gen

An officer who naturally wished his name

LAW OF ARREST VIOLATED.

Even more frequently, ! think, the po-
lice violate the law in regard To arrests.
Most citizens seem to be surprisingly is-
nOrant of their rights in this respect. A
policeman may not without a warrant ar
rest a man for an offence of the grade of
misdemeanor unless the offence was COM
mitted in his presence citizen who saw
the offence may arrest the offender. call a
policeman and have him take the man 20
the station house. There are only three
cases In which a policeman may make an
arrest without warrant: when the per
son has committed or attempted a crime
in his presence; when the person has in
fact committed an offence Of the grade o.
felon.. and when felony has IN fact been
committed and the policeman has reason
