The physical condition Of two young

cut and swollen and their clothing was
covered with dried blood.
They were in Wilson's dancing
place at No. 1851 Broadway last night
when a squad Of raiding plain clothes
policemen suddenly invaded the room
and began grabbing at women dane
ing on the floor. Graves was dancing
with a girl who was roughly snatched
away from him by a man he had
never seen before.
The man was Policeman Ramerez,
but Graves didn't know he was a po-
liceman and, sailor fashion, he hauled
off and smashed him on the jaw. The
next he knew half dozen men were
hammering him with their fists.
Rees went TO his rescue and more
plain clothes men Joined in. They
beat and kicked the sailors into in
sensiblity, threw them into cells in
the West 47th Street Station and left
them there all night without medical
attention, according to the testimony
There is nothing in the evidence
in this case to justify the attack or
these men by the police" SAID Gibbs
Il recommend to Your Honor thai
they be discharged"
Magistrate Levine said he agreed
with the Assistant District Attorney
and Graves and Rees were set free.
The raid on Wilson's place, which il
at 46th Street, was the second in twr
