UNFAIRNESS
IN CRIMINAL
TRIALS TOLD

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. R,-A
tale Of systematized police brutality
spreading over half the nation-a
10-year record OF illegal law en-
forcement by barbarous third de-
gree" methods - was unfolded
today by the Wickersham commits
sion.
Asserting its duty was to lay the
naked, ugly facts" before the pub
lie, the commission crammed into a
single weighty volume on ''lawleSs-
ness In law enforcement" more than
five score proved instances OF ex-
torted confessions.
Legislation Urged
It urged upon Pres. Hoover new
legislation, or a constitutional
amendment II necessary, to abolish
conduct SO violative OF the funda-
mental principles OF constitutional
liberty"
II cited the Leopold-Loe case,
In which an innocent school teach
ei was beaten into confession, as
having focused attention upon the
third degree"
1t turned TO the Shook case OF
Ohio as showing the unfavorable
reactions to a prosecutor who struck
the university professor on the jaw
to obtain a confession.
One case, however, the commission
refused to discuss. asserting fatty
a review Of the Mooney-Biilings case
had been decided against because OF
4-A Atftt.v A. n~o yN1fnn wrtfnnCCnr nVn
because a pardon for n OF the men
accused Of the 1916 San Francisco
preparedness day bombing now Is
under consideration.
In addition to its assault upon the
third degree" the report condemn
ed as too prevalent cases OF conscious
'unfairness in prosecutions" by dist
riot attorneys and judges.
II dealt with nearly $50 instances
of trials following so closely upon
arrests as to leave the accused no
time for defense: denial OF counsel
TO defendants and actual miscon-
duct by court and prosecutor.
Brutality Found.
The report asserted that despite
the secrecy and denials of police
brutality Instances CT the third
degree" had been found in CON
siderably over half the states"
Also in the past 10 years. II said,
