Wins Judgment Against
Police; Later Set Aside
Victim Of Betting
Grunted Judgment
When Defendants
Foil To Appear

William F. Robinson, 81, of 1922
28th Ave-, was granted 5000
damages in a default judgment
against Police Chief George East
man and police patrolmen Ward
Crow and Roy Mahoney, when
the three defendants failed to ap-
pear in court last Tuesday
morning.
Presiding Superior Judge James
w. Hodson later set the ruling
aside upon stipulation between
counsel for the plaintiff, Philip L.
Burton. and assistant corporation
counsel, John A. Logan, that the
default judgment could be vacated.
Logan stated that he was busy in
another court and unable to ap-
pear for the defendants.
In offering proof of the charges
made in his complaint, Robinson
testified that on the Goth of De-
cember, 1850, he was arrested for
taking a drink in the lobby of
theatre in the vicinity of Maynard
and Jackson. During the process Of
booking him at the city jail, the
plaintiff alleged that three police
men (sued by fictitious names
John Doe, Richard Roe and Paul
Blow held him while police patrol
men Crow and Mahoney beat him
with fists, blackjacks and re-
volvers.
Robinson identified pictures ex-
hibited in evidence showing the
bruises and decorations about the
head and face, resulting from the
alleged beating. The plaintiff also
displayed unhealed bruises about
the head to Judge Hodson.
Following the plaintiffs testi-
mony, the court granted Robinson
general damages of $1,000 and $40
special damages. ROBINSON was
suing for 5000.
Although default judgments are
not uncommon the unusual feature
of this situation was that at the
time this application for default
judgment was made, two assist
ants of the corporation counsers
staff were present in the court
and made no appearance or ob;sc,
ton for the defendants.
/, Commenting on the ruling being
set aside, counsel for the plaintiff,
Burton states that at the time he
made the default action, he did
not know that it was the policy
of the corporation counsePs office
to defend all actions against the
police department.
The case will be tried later in
Superior Court.
