A cold does 3 things
 ''Pape's'' stops them all

A cold always affects you in at least three ways. Air passages are in- famed and irritated Precipitation is checked. Bowels are clogged with acid wastes from the mucous dis charge. So doctors say you must do three things to be rid of a cold.
 Pape's Cold Compound does all three! It reduces inflammation and swelling of the mucous membrane; it induces perspiration; opens the

Charged "Third Degree"
to ThWart Justice

The defense scored a notable
victory in the trial of four sus-
pended policemen in District
Supreme Court today on
charges of brutally beating
James H. Harker to extort a
confession.

that evidence intended to show

given the alleged third degree,
was admissible to show a motive
for his accusation of maltreat.
ment at the hands of the police
men, James A. Mostyn, w. T.
Burroughs, w. c. Grooms, and
William r. Laflin.
United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover vigorously opposed adnis-
sion Of the testimony.
Harker Sticks to Story
Harker, however, stuck to the
story he told yesterday that he
admitted the robbery only to es-
cape further beating. Questioned
as to how he obtained the money
he had at the time Of his arrest
August %, he said he had won
$75 or $50 in a crap game, and
had been given $40 by his sister.
Justice Proctor reminded the
witness he had the constitutional
right to refuse to answer any
questions seeking to link him
with the robbery of a North Cap
itol Street lunchroom, on the
ground he might incriminate him
self. Harker did not avail him
self of tl.iS privilege.
The jury paid close attention
yesterday while the 23-year old ap-
prentice baker testified that the
four policemen. now suspended
from the force, maltreated him.
Legal Clashes Frequent
Presentation of the case was
slowed up today, the third day
of the trial, as it was yesterday,
by arguments among the rival at
torneys before Justice James M.
Proctor. Several times the jurors
were excused while the lawyers
wrangled over the admission Of
evidence.
Harker said, after describing his
questioning, that he confessed be-
cause there seemed no way to
