Another Witness Tells
How Police' Try to Wreck
x Reputation of Mrs. Brown
Officials, Not Content With Sending Prominent Woman
To Hospital'lfy Brutal Treatment, Continue' Dis
' graceful Efforts To "Get Something On Her" In
Attempt To Justify Arrest.
While Commissioner Ringer was devoting every effort in
city council Wednesday for time in which to spirit witnesses
out of Omaha and prepare their defense of Detectives Herd
zina and Armstrong:, the officers who outraged the privacy
6f the home at 508 North Twenty-first street, in a further at
tempt to wreck the reputation of Mrs. Thomas Brown, police
men were giving the third degree to Wilma Reed, who was
arrested in the Cass street house of Mrs Brown and who is
being held at the Detention home. Mayor Smith" aided Mr.
Ringer in getting a postponement of the hearing.
Assisted by Mis3 Alta Berger, two policemen questioned
Miss Reed for hours. '
' Exhausted and driven to distraction by the unmerciful
and" gruelling examination, the
wnen sne was compelled to sign a typewritten statement al
leged td have been a stenographic report of the affair.
Tells Parents Story.
Miss Reed told her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. F. I. Reed of Shenandoah,
the story Tuesday when they vis-ted
her in the Retention home.
She declared that Miss Berger
threatened to hold her a prisoner
indefinitely unless she signed the
statement. .
Despite the fact that Dr. Palmer
Findley told Attorney Lloyd A.
Magney that the girl's examination
showed she wasnot afflicted with
disease, and Mr. 'Reed has offered
repeatedly to pay any fine Judge
Foster assessed against his daugh
ter, she is being held a prisoner.'
Miss Berger told Mr. Reed his
daughter was diseased.
. Afraid Girl Will Talk.
Mr. Reed's request that he be al
lowed to take her home and have
her treated by the family physician
was refused.
Mr.. Reed was told by a detective
in the office of Chief Dunn that
there was nothing the matter with
her, but that she was being held
because Commissioner Ringer and
Chief Eberstein were afraid "she
wduld tell what she knew." '
"I cannot afford t6 talk too
much," the officer said to Mr. .Reed.
"If I did, it would mean my job.
I had a long talk with your daugh
ter and I know she' is innocent.
She is being' held because the
"higher-ups" are afraid she will
talk.
Given Third Degree
Here are some of the questions
in reply to which Miss Reed wrote
her answers and handed them to
her mother:
"Did they threaten you in order
to get you to sign the state
ment?" .
, "They told me I would be held
until I did sign it."
"Did they let you read the state-,
ment before you signed it?"
"They tried to get me to sign it
without reading it. I refused to
girl was ready to collapse
N
do so. They finally yielded and
let me read it."
"Were you given the third
degree?"
"I certainly was."
"How many persons were ques
tioning you at one time?"
, "Three."
"Did anyone attempt to get you
to say anything detrimental to
Mrs. Brown?"
"Yes, they made every possible
effort. I could not and I refused."
-"Did they try to gef you to
make a false statement in regard
to the 'character of the house at
2106 Cass treet?"
"Yes, they did."
Miss Berger Defiant.
Mr. and Mrs. Reed gained en
trance to the Detention home fol
lowing numerous attempts on the
part of the father during the last
three days. When "Commissioner
Zimman heard Tuesday that Dr.
Palmer Findley and Miss Berger
were determined not to allow the
mother and father to talk to their
daughter, he took immediate steps
to get permission for them to. visit
the institution.
Mr. Zimman went to the police
station wjth the couple, instructed
Chief Dunn to take them to the
home and explain to Miss Berger
that they should be allowed to talk
to their daughter. Miss Berger re
fused again. .
"I am. taking no orders from
Commissioner Zimman," she assert-
ed. "We are running this institution
to suit ourselves."
Mr. Zimman heard of how Mr.
and Mrs. Reed had- been treated. He
applied to Commissioner Ringer's
office for permission from the health
department The . police commis
sioner's secretary was prevailed on
to sign a pass and again Mr. Zim
man accompanie'd the couple to the
Detention home. Miss Berger
reluctantly admitted them.
S Offered Her Job.
As further evidence of the fact
that the police are using their every
endeavor to get rid of witnesses,
Mrs. Esther Applegate, one of the
girls . released from the Detention
home, yesterday morning received a
letter from Atchison. Kas., offering
her a position. The communication
was signed , "Dr. H." and mailed on
tra! t. Mrs. ApplegateJs of the opin
ion tiat the letter was written with
. 'iw n h!b hr to leave the
-J """j
city. "She declared she would pay no
attention to it.
The tactics of the police also were
revealed further yesterday by Miss
Margaret Heithe, who lives with
Miss Wilma Reed at 2106 Cass
street. Miss Heithe stayed with
friends in Council Bluffs the night of
the raid. She declared that one of
the plain clothes men from the po
lice station had been annoying tier
for the past three days.
"I do not know his name," said
Miss Heithe, "but I know he is a
detective, because he was pointed
out to me. I have forgotten his
name. First he came to the store
where I worked and tried to make
an engagement with. me. I was in
dignant and refused to talk to him.
Later he followed me on the street
and tried to talk to me. I ignored
him and escaped each time. Re
peatedly he has called me on the
telephone and tried to get me to go
out with him. The last time he
called I hung up the phone after
telling him I would appeal some
where else for protection if he did
not stop annoying me. A short
while later he appeared at the front
door and begged me to let him come
in. He asked me all kinds oi ques
tions about the raid. I shut the
door in his? face, but he continues to
call and ask me to meet him.
Will Appeal to Sheriff.
"If the man annoys me any fur
ther, my friends have advised me
to appeal to Sheriff Clark for pro
tection. I shall do this. I have no
relatives in the city and I don't
know what to do to put a stop to
this man's overtures. I am actually
afraid to step out on the street after
dark, borne one is watching the
house all the time. They come 4nto
the hallway and the other, night
some one tried to get in Mrs. Ap
plegate's room at 3:30 o'clock." ,

Savings Are the Result of
A Large Purchase Made
Some Months Ago.
A Big Variety of Styles to

About Half Price.
Garments' Are Carefully
Made and Represent the
Newest Styles for
Summer Wear. '
This event, which takes place
at the Union Outfitting Com
panynext Saturday, is particu
larly rich in money saving, due
to the fact that large orders
were placed with manufacturers
months ago,, when the price of
cotton materials was consider
ably less than it is today.
Another important feature of
the sale is the superior workman
ship on the garments; the high
character of the fabrics; the
pretty trimmings, and the fact
that nothing was skimped in
their making.
The sale includes Teddy Bears,
Night Gowns, Envelope Chemise
and combinations, at a wide
range of low prices.
The offering is not only timely,
but is additional evidence of tho
immense Buying Power of tho
Union Outfitting Company and
their ability to Tower prices be
cause of their location out of
the High Sent District. No
transaction is ever considered

Dear Sirs: I just bought an

was so cross from being so
nervous and run-down They
have helped me, too, as I was
so nervous and irritable and
unable to sleep. We are both
getting well along in years, al
though we do not feel old since
taking Cadomene Tablets. They
surely made us feel like new
people, all right, etc. Yours,
respectfully, Hugh Kelsoe, 219
