Police Study Charge
Thai Accident Squad
Car Coasted Into Man
The Police Department is inves
tigating a citizen’s complaint that
an Accident Investigation Unit car
coasted into him at Wisconsin ave
nue and O streets N.W.
The complaint was filed with the
Commissioners by William M. i
Scriven. Treasury Department em
ploye of 3158 O street N.W., who
accused Sergt. Carl G. Darnall of
the seventh precinct of "unprovoked
assault.”
Inspector Lloyd E. Kelly told re
porters he has interviewed 11 citi
zens who witnessed the incident
and plans to talk to three others.
So far. he said, the witnesses have
not substantiated Mr. Scriven’s
story.
The inspector added, however,
that when the investigation is com
pleted he may recommend referral
of the case to the Corporation
Counsel’s office. It will be up to
that office, then, to determine
whether there is sufficient evidence
to file charges against Sergt. Dar- i
nail with the Police Trial Board.
Mr. Scriven complained in his
sworn affidavit that the police car
struck him as he was reaching the
curb after 11 p.m. on August 16.
Witnesses signed statements say
ing Sergt. Darnall asked bystanders
to get on the sidewalk so he could
release the brake to allow the police
car to drift to the curb. It was
parked about 4 feet from the the
curb while AIU men were investigat
ing a serious accident in the vicinity.
Inspector Kelly said he talked with
Mr. Scriven on August 27 and up to
that time, the complainant told him,
he had not received medical treat
ment. Mr. Scriven said he had no
marks or bruises on his leg, where
he complained the car hit him.

date” for termination of a 1941
agreement under which the Unit

willing to do so, and some dis
cussions were begun in June.
The American Army wants to
keep some bases on the island.)
The Danish Foreign Relations
Committee discussed for three hours!
l,esterday the effect of the treaty of j
Rio de Janeiro on Greenland, but
withheld announcement of the re
sults.
