BURROUGHS
GROONSGO
FREE BY
VERDICT
James Mostyn and VIM. LatlIn
Guilty of Simple Assault
Upon James Harker

Policemen James A. Mos
tyn and William r. Laflin
were convicted today by a
jury in District Supreme
Court of assaulting James H.
Harker, to force a confession
for robbery.
The other policemen named in
the indictment, William c. Grooms
and w. T. Burroughs, were acquit-
ted.
The guilty verdict was on the
second count, charging simple as
sault. The count charging assault
with a dangerous weapon was
ignored.
Will Return to Force
Mostyn and Laflin were con.
tinued on bond pending sentence.
The order suspending GroomS
and Burroughs from the force, fol
lowing the assault in the First
precinct station last August, is ex.
pected to be reScinded and the men
restored to the force.
Decisions in the case, the first
in a number brought about BY the,
action Of the October Grand Jury
indicting II policemen on alleged
third-degree brutality, came after
A hours of deliberation by the
jury.
The maximum punishment on
the conviction is one year IN jail
and a $500 fire.
Burroughs Jubilant
Application for a new trial will
be filed by Attorney James
O'Shea following sentence, which
will be imposed Monday.
Mostyn is accused in two other
third degree cases and the con-
viction in the Harker case can
be used against him at those
trials.
Burroughs was jubilant at the
outcome. Out of work since
August, and without pay, Bur.
roughS had been in Strengthened
circumstances, his attorney, Frank
j. Kelly, said.
Mr.. Kelly said that Mrs. Bur-
roughs was i'll and at home with
their 10 children, while her huS-
band still is suffering from the
throat ailment which resulted in
a weeks postponement Of the
trial.
Background Of Case
The four men were indicted on
the testimony of James il. Har-
ker that they brutally beat him
with fists and rubber hose at
the First precinct station last
August %, to extort a confession
that he broke in and robbed the
Post Office Lunch, 727 North
Capitol st.
Harker produced numerous wit
neseSs who testified that before
he entered the precinct station ne
was uninjured, but when he
emerged his left eye was black
ened and there were numerous
stripes and weltS on his back,
the result of blows inflicted by
Mostyn and Laflin.
Groomes and Burroughs had no
part in the beating, Harker said.
The 23-year-old boy was as
sailed by defense attorneys as a
"liar," and the good records Of
the four accused policemen were
cited in evidence.
All four denied Harker'S allega-
tions, and medical testimony was
offered to show Harker might
have obtained the marks on his
body through other means, IN an
attempt to escape conviction on
the robbery charge.

ONE PRESCRIPTION
MADE FAMILY DOCTOR
FAMOUS

Seldom has any single act been of
greater benefit to mankind than that
of DR.. Caldwell in 1885, when ne
wrote the prescription which has
carried his fame to the four corners
of the earth.
Over and over, DR.. Caldwell wrote
the prescription as he found men,
women and children suffering from
those common symptoms of constipa-
ton, such as coated tongue, bad
breath, headaches, gas, nausea, bilious
ness, no energy, lack of appetite, and
similar things.
Demand for this prescription grew
so fast, because of the pleasant, quick,
way it relieved such symptoms Of
constipation, that by 1888 DR.. Cald-
we'll was forced to have it put up
ready for use. Today, Dr. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin, as it is called, is always
ready at any drugstore.
