COMPLAINT FILED AGAINST POLICE
SquIlacote Says He Was Abused
 by Two Patrolmen

A formal complaint has been re- ceived by the board of police com- missioners from Louis Squillacote of 16 Maple street. protesting against the manner in which Patrolman William Grabeck and two other po- licemen handled him while placing him under arrest week ago. Squillacote, in his complaint, al- leges that Grabeck walked up to him at the corner of Park and Main streets and struck him on the head several times with his nightstick, knocking him to the ground, where he claims Patrolman Daniel Cos grove kicked him in the eye.
 A meeting of the discipline com- mittee of the board will be held Thursday night to give hearing on the affair. Friends of Squillacote's, who were with him at the time he was arrested, will appear before the board to tell their stories of the affair.

They did, but not until after one of the gang is alleged to have given the policeman "razz," according to the policeman's story and their own admissions. {.
 They went along Main street un- til they arrived at the corner of Park street where the disturbance which resulted in the arrest of Squil- lacote is alleged to have occurred. souillacote told the story of the alleged assault at the hands of the police in court, but the police said that they used the club only when the prisoner became so abusive and unruly that 1t, was absolutely neces- sary. He was found guilty on the braech of the peace and resistance charges that were lodged against him by the police and was fined or each charge, the court warning him that if he ever came before the court again on any charge he would go to jail.
