Kicks or Instruments. The smoke screen lifted even further at the companion trial of three Turkish cops accused of beating Sergeants Dale McCuistion and James King in an attempt to make them confess to dealings with Mrs. Gall. Air Force Colonel Robert N. Wilkinson, the first U.S. officer to see the sergeants after their arrest, told the court he had not been permitted to talk to them until they had been in prison about 30 hours.
