THIRD DEGREE USED,
 PRISONERS DECLARE
Vice Squad Accused of Hard Treatment to Get Conviction
RUM DEALERS ARE FINED
Judge klctt Pays But Little Attention To Charges But Advises Police To Be Careful About The Way They Act.

Sensational charges Of threats vile language, abuse of prisoners, manu- factured evidence and third degree methods in general were made against the so-called vice squad" in police court this morning, when three Grove street men were tried on liquor violation charges.
 Wabyinas Pyr2ak and Walter Cry gina, were charged by Patrolman Mara and Feeney with transporting liquor, and lgnatz Wisotsky, of Law Tor street, was charged by Feeney, OMara and Sergeant Hart with the manufacture and sale Of liquor.
 Says He Called Him Wop.
 Gryzina "opencd up" on the vice squad first by telling the court that Patrolman Feeney had called him a long list of names, among which the word. "Wop" figured prominently. Other indecent names figured rather freely in the trade. He backed up his charges by pointing out Feeney in the court room and insisting, Yes. it was you" when the policeman shook his head in the negative.
 Claimed Physical Abuse
 These charges took a decided ly more sensational nature when lg- natz Wisotsky swore on the witness stand that Sergeant w. c. Hart had grabbed him by the head and push ed his head back, striking him in the face at the same time, then held his head while Feeney held something at his throat. He further contended that the police instructed him, while in this uncomfortable position, to swear that one of the other witnesses had been found guilty of arson some time ago. He also stated that Pa trolman McCue took the weapon away from Feeney and struck his, the wit ness, on the head.
 News To OMara
 OMara. the only member of the vice squad who was not implicated in ;he charge, said he knew nothing Of the incident, that he was in the police station with the prisoner and the rest of the squad most of the time and that nothing occurred in his presence.
