THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY. . SEPTEMBER 3, 1919. PERSECUTION OF PERRUCCELLOS IS CONTINUED Detectives Thestrup and Herdzina Call at Home to . Arrest Woman, But Get "Cold Feet." Mrs. Tony Perrucccllo, who was assaulted in her home. 804 Pierce street, July 6, by Detectives Thest rup and Herdzina and who was forced to see her husband beaten and. her 14-year-old boy felled with a club by the same policemen, is being subjected to" further persecu tion and indignities at the hands of these two officers. Thestrup and Herdzina called at the Perrucello residence Friday to arrest the woman on an old charge of resisting an officer, which Prose cutor Murray .weeks ago moved to have thrown out of court. Thestrup and Herdzina, however, are said to have weakened when they got to the house. Although they were invited in to serve the warrant, for some reason they were unwilling to cross the threshold of the home they invaded six weeks ago. ' They failed to return to the station with their prisoner. John F. Moriarty, Mrs. Perruc cello's attorney, appeared in police court yesterday, denounced the high handed methods of persecution employed by Detectives-Thestrup and Herdzina and furnished an ap pearance bond or his client. "This is the most .disgraceful thing 1 ever heard of," declared the at torney. "These, law-ignorant detec tives are being sued for their brutal behavior in this woman's home last July, and this! their plan to intimi date her. It is a disgrace lo the en tire community." Dragged from Sick Bed. Mrs. Perruccello was dragged from a sick bed by Thestrup and Herdzina and severely injured, she charges when the officers cam- to her home to arrest her husband on a charge of selling liquor. The Perruccellos were dismissed on charges of bootlegging in police court. Later suit was filed against the detectives and Mayor Smith and Commissioner Ringer endorsed a proposition to collect from the other individual members of the police de partment enough money to pay Thestrup' and Herdzina's attorney fees and court costs. Many of the policemen have refused point blank to contribute to such a fund. Oth ers have, donated out of fear that they would be discharged in the event they incurred the disfavor of j the police commissioner.
