POLICE REFUSE TO LET CUNNEA
SEE FOUR MEN HELD
Four garment union strikers are
held secretly by the police in con
nection with the Guszkowski killing.
All attempts of Att'y Wm. A. Cun
nea today to see the arrested strik
ers failed and Cunnea said his next
step would be habeas corpus pro
ceedings. "If the police are trying to third
degree any of these men I will take
steps not usually attempted in reply
to police third degree work," said
Cunnea. "I was told by Iieut Mike
Loftis of the 33d precinct that the
prisoners who are supposed to be
witnesses of the Guszkowski killing
would be at the inquest The police
failed to bring them.
"It is contrary to everything in
law and it is against every principle
of personal liberty for the police to
refuse an arrested man the right of
an interview with his attorney."
Inquest was opened in undertak
ing rooms at 1137 Noble sL Mrs.
Michael Guszkowski identified the
body of her husband. Deputy Cor
oner Webster postponed hearing one
week. When Att'y Cunnea protested
against the police holding four wit
nesses without booking for so long
a time as one week deputy coroner
changed postponed date and hearing
will be resumed Wednesday.
Action of Lieut Loftis in holding
the four prisoners without booking
and refusing them an interview with
their lawyer has been sactioned by
Chief Healey, it is understood.
