defendant, former Policeman P. L.
Whalen, were sentenced to twenty
years each in the penitentiary for
the fatal beating of Berry Lawson,
during an arrest in a downtown
Seattle hotel.
"On the basis of the statements
now made to me which I think are
true, Paschal and Stevenson are
not guilty of manslaughter," Judge
Douglas wrote to Wilkins. HAD
these same statements been made
to me at any time before the sem
tence was passed I would not have
sentenced Paschal and Stevenson
to the penitentiary."
Judge Douglas told Wilkins that
Paschal, Stevenson and Whalen
came to his office Friday and gave,
for the first time, a reasonably ac-
curate account of the Lawson
beating.
The former officers statements
in most respects were the same as
those related by Prosecutor War
ner in his latest letter on the case,
the judge said. They blamed Wha-
len for the beating, said Paschal
was not present and that Steven
son was only an eyewitness.
stevenson, the only eyewitness
stated to me Friday that Whalen's
beating of Lawson was unprovok-
ed, unjustified and brutal and that
it all happened so quickly that he
did not have time to intervene"
Judge Douglas said yesterday af-
ter his letter had been sent to
Wilkins.
The judges letter to Wilkins in
cluded the opinion that Paschal
and Stevenson remained silent I'M
til last week "out of what believe
was a mistaken loyalty to Wha-
len."
IT feel certain that the jury
would have returned a verdict of
not guilty as to Paschal and Ste
venson," the judge wrote, eff the
officers had testified at the trial
as they did in their latest state
ments."

two of the three ex-policemen
seeking pardons for their part in
the death of Berry Lawson, wait
er, opened in Superior Judge Clay
Aliens court last Wednesday.
Plaintiff John Follings, 48 years
old, accused Fred Paschal and Pat
Whalen of cursing and severely
beating him when they arrested
him on October 26. Follings also
named Police Chief William Sears
and the National Surety Corpora
ton as defendants.
Paschal, Whalen and w. F. Ste
venson are at liberty on bond while
friends petition Gov. Clarence D.
Martin to prevent their serving
terms of twenty years each for
manslaughter. They were convict
ed in connection with the death

The jury found Lawson died of in
juries suffered in a beating at the
hands of the officers, who arrest
ed him.
Paschal was present Wednesday
as Assistant Corporation Counsel
John A. Homer asked prospective
jurors If the fact that some of the
defendants had been convicted of
manslaughter of another Negro,
would prejudice the jurors. None
was excused for such prejudice.
Whalen was not present Wednes-
day. Chief Sears said the former
officer was Seriously i'll with a
bad heart"
Follings wept as he testified af-
ter the jury was chosen.
HE (PaschaD struck me with

titled that "eight or ten" police
men were standing nearby at the
time, but made no effort to stop"
Paschal.

in the air and I says" Follings
said as he stood up and Demon
strated to the jury. At this point
he wept again and it was several
seconds before he continued: "And
I says, stop it, I can't stand any
more"
Folilngs was arrested at 81
Sixth Ave. s., charged with dis
orderly conduct, and held in the
city jail twelve hours. He con-
tended bis arrest was unjustified,
