and successfully resisted the efforts Of
the police to pull him out.
Deciding they were getting nowhere,
the officers began to argue with the
prisoner and Redmond after listening
to their pleas for 20 minutes, finally
capitulated and consented to accom-
pany them to the station house.
He denied he was under the influence
Of liquor.
The prisoner who was Subdued after
allegedly assaulting the officers in the
fourth precinct is H. Russell Jones, a
Fort Washington, Md, soldier, who had
been arrested on drunk and disorder
ly conduct charge.
Jones, according to Lieut.. Sidney J.
Marks, intimated after the scuff1e that
he had been mistreated and was hurried
of to Gallinger Hospital to be ex-
amined. Doctors there declined to ad-
nit Jones for treatment on the ground
he did not need it. Lieut. Marks sum-
moned his family physician who de-
clined to make an examination because
it wasn't necessary"
When Jones began to pull the fixtures
from the walls Policeman George M.
Redligh went back to prevent the de-
Struction, he said, and was threatened
by Jones, who brandished part of the
broken plumbing. Redligh entered the
CELL however, and was kicked in the
groin and about the shins, he charged
It was then, the police reported, that
Jones wrested free from Redligh and
threw a bowl of stew at him. The
prisoner was subdued, police say. with
the aid Of second officer, who also
was alleged to have received several
blows without returning them.
Jones was charged with two counts
Of assault, destroying private property,
in addition to the drunk and disorderly
charge. He furnished collateral this
morning and probably will have hear
ing in Police Court later today.
