Magnelli and beaten until insensible. The argument that resulted In the beating started in a quick lunch. Of ficer Cope, who was v. ith Magnelli at the time, did not appear as a witness in Magnelli s behalf. Shickley was in the lunch room tell ing some facts about the Philadelphia police with whom he had been ac quainted. The local officers started to draw comparisons between the Har risburg police and the Philadelphia officers, it was brought out. An Intoxicated man whose name could not be learned and whom the officers neglected to arrest also got In the argument and started to give his opinion on the matter. Shickley left the restaurant but returned when he missed his car home. Threatens to Sue Officer The drunk continued to give his ideas and Shickley insisted in knowing "what he had in the matter." Mag nelli remonstrated with him for ques tioning the drunk and, according to the testimony offered, made the first insulting remark. One remark brought on another until Shickley told Mag nelli that "If he wasn't hiding behind a badge he could lick the stuffing out of him." Magnelli drew his mace and without telling Shickley he was under arrest proceeded to "beat him up." Shickley declared that he did not even make an attempt to get away from the mace because he "had offered no resistance and would not beat a dog as Magnelli had beaten him." After he was practically insensible he was dragged unresisting from the res taurant. His coat torn to shreds was exhibited at the hearing, showing where it had ben torn after he had been beaten when he was being dragged from the room. Shickley was taken to tli*e Harris burg Hospital and his lacerated scalp stitched. His head was swathed in bandages at the hearing. He wore his shirt soaked with blood and ex hibited his collar, likewise crimson. Shickley had two witnesses present to testify to the truth of the story and defied the police to furnish evidence that he was, or ever had been, of a quarrelsome nature or that he was known to be a drinking man. Shickley was discharged after being asked if he thought he "had a suf ficient lesson for attempting to resist an officer." The last remark started the argument again and Shickley de clared that he would bring suit against the patrolman."'
