sentences at Lorton Reformatory for
administering the so-called third de-
gree" to a prisoner in 1881, may be
freed shortly by presidential pardon.
Applications for executive clemency

partment Of Justice that the pleas were
receiving favorable consideration" II
the Attorney General approves pardons
for the dismissed policemen, a recon-
mendation for presidential action will
be sent to the White House. 1t is be-
lieved this course will be followed
within few days.
Families Declared In Need.
Latin and Mostyn have served four
months each. Their families are said
to be in need and the department is
taking this situation into consideration.
Another factor being given some weight,
it is understood, is that the men were
convicted chiefly on testimony of James
H. Harker. youthful prisoner, who
had a previous criminal record.
The two former policemen were
among q group of officers who were in
dicted by the grand jury following an
investigation of reports that third de-
gree brutality was prevalent in the
Washington Police Department. A
number Of policemen were convicted,
but most of them received fines instead
of Jail sentences.
Convictions Affirmed.
Latin and Mostyn were convicted on
November IS, 1881, Of assaulting Harker
with a piece of rubber hose in an at
tempt to wiring from him confession
that he had burglarized restaurant
