County Board Studies
Testimony in Police
Mistreatment Case

Inc Er1QCe IeOTSeS NOuIlty
Commissioners today had under
advisement conflicting testimony
on complaints that county police
men mistreated q volunteer fire
official and a Star staff photog-
rapher.
The testimony was taken dur
ing a two-hour preliminary hear
ing held to determine If charges
should be made against the police
men. The incidents occurred at
the Prince Georges General Hos
pital, Cheverly, the night OF No.
vember 2-3, when Claire Han
ratty, q 7-year- old Lan,nam school
girl who got lost in the woods and
had Just been found, was brought
to the hospital for examination.
Claims Entrance Blocked.
Police Pvt. James H. Burgess
was accused by Paul Schmick, the
photographer, of pushing and
showing him as he was attempting
to take q picture when the rescue
SQUAD took the girl from an am
bulance. The policeman admitted
showing Mr.. Schmick aside. He
claimed the photographer was
blocking the entrance to the hos
pital. Mr.. Schmick denied block
ing the entrance.
The other complainant was Vim
cent A. Simmel, 81, who lives IN
Cottage City and has held ofices
in county and State fire organi-
zations. Mr.. Simmel said he be-
came involved because he pro-
tested the way police were treat-
ing Mr.. Schmick and other pho
tographers. He said two police
men ignored his pleas Of partial
blindness in the rough way they
took him from the hospital. The
Simmel incident already has been
protested by the Prince Georges
County Volunteer Firemen's As
sociation.
Pvt. Burgess denied being in
volved in the Simmel incident.
Policemen William F. Little and
Joseph Vincent admitted they
took Mr.. Simmel to their police
scout car but denied mistreating
him. They said he had been "too
loud and boisterous" in the hos
pital and that he called them "a
bunch of skunks." Mr.. Simmel,
In turn, denied both these accu-
sations.
Forced out" Of Hospital"
Pvt. Burgess also was charged
by Mr.. Schmick with a second
manhandling. The photographer
said that after the Hanratty child
was taken into the emergency
room he tried to enter the hos
pital to get out of the cold. He
charged that Pvt. Burgess on this
occasion forced him bodily out OF
the hospital, with the words: II
thought told you to stay out. I"
Later, after leaving his camera
outside, Mr.. Schmick said he and
other photographers on the
scene saw police admit a COM
mercial photographer, Malcolm
w. Morrison. to the emergency
room where the Hanratty child
had been taken. The testimony
in this connection brought out
that Mr.. Morrison was carrying q
camera, which led newspaper
photographers to protest the ban
on their making pictures.
Mr.. Morrison testified. however,
he took no pictures. He said he
had been invited to the emergency
room by Mrs. Robert Hanratty,
who wanted to thank him for his
help during the search for her
child.
