CUSTER PROCEEDINGS
WILL BEGIN TODAY

Com monw eslth's Attorney Wise has
announced that he would begin the
proposed custer proceedings against
four police officers today. Much in
terest centers in this. The four men
who are to be heard in the proceedings
are Chief of Police Sherry, Captain
George +. Pollock. Detective Louis
Bertucci and Bicycle Officer Charles
Strain. They will be represented al
the hearings by counsel. having en-
gagged II. M. Smith. Gilbert K Pollock
and L. o. wendenburg to represent
them.
1t has been reported that besides
Niese names to be- presented by the
commonwealth attorney, there may
be others. The law provides that any
citizen may make complaint OF the
conduct of any office and the court
must hear the complaint. and II is
possible, as the report suggests that
other names may be presented today
when the proceedings begin.
Two cases are set for hearing In
hustings court today. that of Icy Ger
son. one of the star witnesses in the
recent grand jury investigation. who
is charged with bootlegging, and that
of. former Policeman Charles Deskins,
who Is charged with larceny from the
person.
Gerson hopes to have his case nolle
sroseaued, because of his activities
in giving the grand jury much inside
information Of the bootlegging ac
tlvities In this city. When asked
about this Commemorative Attorney
wise stated that he had not made up
his mind as to what steps he might
take In the matter
Deskins disclaims any knowledge
Of the charge of larceny against him.
He explains that he accommodated a
brother officer by taking man TO the
station house in order that the other
officer might avoid attendance at po-
lice court the next day. and that he
searched the man In the usual course
Of his duties. and that was all there
was to 1T. He also says the whole pro-
ceedinEs appears to him to be a clear
frame up against Chief Sherry"
This remark has been previously
made. II was said that Officer Sweet
rad made statements against his for
r1er chief because activities incidental
to his operation Of two autom obiles
while member OF the force, This re-
port was promptly denied by Sweet.
The rumor that Sweet had remarked
that he would get even" with Sherry,
wss also denied by the officer.
1t Is quite probable that much Of
his gossip will come out at the hear
ing Of Deskins today.
