Police Brutality
Charges Promised
To Murray Today

Specific cases Of alleged bru-
tally and mistreatment of juve-
niles by police will be forwarded
today to Police Chief Robert v.
Murray, according to Juvenile
Court Judge Edith Cockrill.
The instances, seven of them
summarized by the Judge last
week for the press, will include
the names of the juveniles, the
dates of the complaints and
other details, Judge Cockrill de-
clared.
She added, however, that in
general the names of the officers
involved could not be obtained
because usually the juveniles do
not actually know their names
and court records often do not
contain the names of all Of the
officers involved in a case.
Chief Murray requested the
names last Friday after Judge
Cockrill summarized the cases
to a press conference and de-
clared she has noted an increase
in the number of complaints
coming to her court.
Earlier last week, the Juvenile
Court Advisory Committee dis
closed that a subcommittee had
visited the police chief April J..
Chief Murray retorted that the
group had failed to give him
details.
Judge Cockrill declared she
had given the chief a number of
specific cases last December but
the chief said he had inveSti-
gated and found the miStreat-
ment complaints unfounded.
Chief Murray now has asked
for a day-to-day report on all
such complaints so he can in
vestigate them Immediately.
Judge Cockrill has said she will
forward them as they come up
in Juvenile Court.
