MAN
BADLY BEATEN
BY R. R. POLICE

According to statements made by
the surgeons of the Emergency Hos

men are busy again. This time in or
der to make an arrest they found it
necessary to beat Adam Kowalski, "a,
of 442 Broad street, tNto almost a
pulp, necessitaing his removal to the
Emergency hospital, where several
stitches were taken in his head.
The charge against Kowalski Is
trespassing on railroad property, and
according to officials at police head
uarters and prominent members of the
Billiard Machine Co. and Singer Co., it
was not at all necessary to use a club
upon Kowalski in order to place him
under arrest.
The bruta1ly beaten man was arrest
ed by Railroad Policeman MARCEL, who
it will be remembered was in trouble
some two months ago when he was
arrested by Parolman Fitzgerald for
assaulting another man. According
to many people employed in the shops
adjoining the railroad warehouses in
Singer avenue, MARCEL has quite a
reputation for using his club and
seems to take huge pleasure In send
ing his prisoners to the hospital to be
patched up.
Kowalski, who is a purveyor OF
lunches and sandwiches, has been al
lowed the run of the grounds sur
rounding the plants during the morn
ing and noon hours and has built up a
thriving business by supplying the
work with lunches
The defense which has been made
by MARCEL, for his vicious assault up
On Kowalslxi, is that the latter attack
ed him with a fork. Witnesses say
that Kowalski carried the fork with
which he served frankfurters in his
hand, but that contrary to MarcelPs
assertion he made no attempt to use
