Family says slain priest was tortured
By United Press International
WARSAW, Poland — The family of a slain pro-Solidarity priest said bruises and cuts on his body showed he was beaten and tortured to death before being dumped in a reservoir, and union sources said yesterday.
Thousands of mourners, many of them weeping, filed past the flower-decked grave of the slain priest. The Rev Jerzy Popieluszko, under a robe in the churchyard of the St. Stanisław Kosta church in northern Warsaw.
The government faced a deepening crisis following the open outpouring
of support for the banned union
Solidarity at the priest's Saturday
funeral and news the popular cleric
was arrested by members of the
secret police.
POPIELUSZKO'S FAMILY members who dressed him for the funeral said the priest's entire body was covered with brushes, many of them made by a club, and his hands were badly cut, apparently from attempts to ward off his attackers, Solidarity sources said.
They said chunks of hair were torn out of the priest's scalp and his jaw and teeth were so badly broken that dental identification would have been virtually impossible. His neck also showed traces of rop burns, indicating he might have been strangled or that a rope was attached to a heavy weight to keep his body underwater, they said.
The Solidarity sources said the priest probably died of his injuries before the kidnappers dumped him in a reservoir.
Catholic priest Zygmunt Machrzak, in a sermon to churchgoers in Warsaw's Grochow suburb, also reported reports Popiełuzko was tortured.
"I KNOW THE details of the autopsy but as there are children among you, I can only say Father saved before he was killed," he said.

Church sources also confirmed
that Popieluszko had been beaten and tortured.
The government has said three members of the security police killed the priest, kidnapped Oct. 19 from his car on a highway near Torun in northern Poland and found dead in a reservoir four days later.
Two other security police officers were detained Friday and a police general has been suspended in connection with the case.
The government announced Friday that an autopsy had been carried out on the priest but gave no cause of death. Observers said the government may have decided to withhold the findings to avoid inflaming the crowds at the funeral.
IRA hails bomb as 'blow for democracv'
By United Press International
DUBLIN, Ireland — Gerry Adams, head of the political wing of the Irish Republican Army, yesterday hailed the IRA's attempted assassination of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher three weeks ago as a "blow for democracy" in Northern Ireland.
A Belfast delegate said the outlawed Irish Republican Army sent a message to the conference that Adams spoke at promising more bombings in Britain similar to the Oct. 12 attack on Brighton's Grand Hotel that narrowly missed Thatcher and her Cabinet.
The top government officials had been housed in the hotel for the
annual conference of their Conservative Party.
"All casualties and fatalities in Ireland or Britain as a result of the war are sad symptoms of our British problem, and the Brighton bombing was an inevitable result of the British presence in this country," Adams told about 600 Sinn Fein delegates on
the final day of their two-day annual conference.
"Far from being the blow against democracy, it was a blow for democracy," he said.
The conference voted unanimously to reaffirm its support for the IRA and the "armed struggle in Northern Ireland."
PEKING — China is purging the world's largest standing army of elderly officers and leftists who gained rank during Mao Tse-tung's disastrous Cultural Revolution, the official Xinhua News Agency said yesterday.
The announcement came two days after 80-year-old leader Deng Xiaping called for a purge of elderly officers in the 4.2-million-strong military, one of a series of dramatic reforms being undertaken in virtually every area of Chinese society.
YU QUIL, HEAD of political affairs for the military, said the latest campaign would begin in 1985 and focus on divisional-level officers in the People's Liberation
The army, which has approximately 185 divisions, "must get rid of leftist influences and restore the fine traditions of the party in its inner political life." Yu was quoted as saying by Xinhua.
Yu, hinting that the government's pragmatic reforms are meeting resistance within the military hierarchy, said officers at the United Nations office in "served as an important link in carving out policies of the party."
On Friday, Deng urged elderly officers to step aside and make room for "younger and more competent officers." Western officials said. Deng's words were his strongest ever on the politically touchy issue.
YU ECHED DENG's call for the promotion of "outstanding young and middle-aged officers . . . to leading posts so that the army can have a younger and better-educated officer corps."
