.CIegg's S Lawyer Says
Civil Judges Wouldn I
Have Cleared Police

The case of Julius Willie Clegg
against three policemen has ended
with Clegg's attorney charging thai
civilian trial board would have de-
cided the case differently.
The Police Trial Board, composed
of two police officers and one civil.
ian, James O'D. Moran, cleared the
three policemen yesterday of charges
that Clegg, 26, colored, a Washing
ton Post employe, was illegally ar
rested and held ard mistreated
during Sex Squad questioning. Mr.
Moran dissented from the hoard in
one of the three cases, finding Pvt
John ]. Gibboncy guilty of illegal
arrest and detention.
Clegg's attorney, Roger Robb, is
sued a statement after the decision
declaring that MIR. Moran came to
the conclusion I am satisfied would
have been reached unanimously by
board of civilians not subject to
the orders of the chief OF police
He called attention to letter and
telegram he sent to the Commis-
sioners early in December urging an
civilian board.
Mr.. Robb charged that Police
Supt. Robert J. Barrett made Sian
derous attacks" on Clegg. He citeo
particularly Maj. Barrett's state
ment that Clegg's arrest prevented
a crime. ~,.z.......,a.s.,......,y.... .. ..
"These inexcusable attacks on
Clegg," Mr.. Robb added, raised is
sues wholly irrelevant to the central
issue of whether or not .Clegg was
illegally detained and mistreated by
the police. The record OF Maj. Bar
rett himself would have been more
relevant to the proceedings"
The two men unanimously cleared
by the trial board, Detective Sergt
Alex Kapsol and Special Investi
gator David Ennis of the Sex Squad
issued a statement expressing graf
itude at the trial boards decision
and the support they received from
Police Department officers and ex
pressing regret that the decision
was not unanimous for Pvt. Glib
