|SA|LORATTACKS POLICEMAN WTHBOTTLE

sailors, one of whom was McKasson, who had changed into his regular navy clothes from the oyeralls he had been wearing. At the arrival Of the officers Mckasson jumped out a back window into the yard, but the other two sailors were arrested and taken ito police headquarters, along with two Ipints of whiskey and about half a dozen bottles of beer found in the room.
 Later in the afternoon Officer Kee- nan saw MeKasson on the street and arrested him. The navy man went along well enough for a ways, but when the green lights of the police station came into view he made des- terate and vicious assault upon the police off1eer with bottle that he pulled from his pocket unexpectedly. The first blow broke the bottle on the back of the po1ieeman's head, and the sailor then used the jagged rem nant that remained in his hand in vicious jabs that inflicted three or f9ut more wounds, before the police mans club had subdued the man.
 The other two men arrested in con- neetion with the case were held over
 night at police headquarters and taken
 to the submarine base on Sunday
 morning by naval guard. They gave
 their names as William Rogers and Michael Nolan, but neither, it is un derstood, gave his real name.
