otherwise during the time he was in the
hands of the Salt Lake City police de-
partment." in his signed statement, al
though he Is constantly nervous. irritable
and prone to make complaint, II by so
doing he can arouse sympathy or attract
attention.
He is naturally sore because he was
caught soon after beginning operations in
the city, and, consequently, resentful
towards the police, but his signed state
county jail in the presence OF deputy
sheriff.
From this document, from his state
ment to me, and from all the reliable in
formation obtainable. it appears that Mer-
rill was not tormented, tortured, injured,
driven TO desperation nor goaded to at
tempted suicide by any member or mem
bers of the police department
He specifically denies that he was
harmed. "either bodily. mentally or
otherwise" during the time he was con-
fined in the city jail. The police deny
though at the time of his first capture he
was knocked down and at the time OF his
recapture he was stamped. NO reputable
person asserts that he was harmed bodily
or mentally and there the newspaper re-
port" must rest.
Orders and instructions have been re-
peated and emphasized to the department
that prisoners, although escaping or
threatening to kill, are not to be treated
roughly nor with unnecessary Violence
In this connection. an excerpt from an
editorial In the Deseret News may not be
inappropriate;
The path OF the policeman Is not
bordered with flowers. Every desperate
character In the community Us his
foe Every lawbreaker is trying to
compromise or discredit him Every
panderer to vice is ready 10 malign

many try to assault him And while
the provocation is often great, he has
no right to retaliate or strike prls-
oner he has in custody.
