Has Careless Record Re-arrested Nov. 5 on Complaint Charging Assault With Intent to Kill. (From the Kansas City Call) Kansas City, Mo.—Joseph Rector, 20, wealthy young oil heir, who shot and killed "Rabit" Snow in a pool- room at Twelfth and Woodland Sun- day night, was released early Monday morning on $1,000 bond, signed by his mother, Mrs. Rosa Rector, 2000 East Twelfth street. Rector gave himself up after the shooting and spent the night in jail. Accidental, He Says. Snow was killed accidentally, ac- cording to Rector's statement. He claims he was shooting at his cousin, Edward Perryman, 1403 Brook- lyn, with whom he had been quarreling. According to Mrs. Sarah Rector- Campbell, Rector's sister, he had had a fight with Perryman Saturday night in a house on Thirteenth street between Euclid and Michigan avenues. Perryman is alleged to have bitten young Rector three times. --- It is presumed the quarrel held over until Sunday night when the tragedy occurred. Perryman is 18 years old and is employed at a grocery store on Twelfth street. In Many Escapades. This killing is not the first time Rector has come into public notice through his escapades. In July, 1924, he eloped with Miss Mildred Dougherty, a high school girl and was married in Kansas City, Kansas. Five months later his young wife filed suit for divorce on charges which were not made public. He filed a cross bill and the suit is still pending. In March, 1925, Rector, who was then under ban for careless driving, ran down Marvin King, proprietor of the Nifty Shining parlor, 1810 Vine street, at Nineteenth and Vine streets in a speeding Cadillac touring car which was alleged at the (Continued on page 2) MINNEAPOLIS LODGE WILL CLOSE CARNIVAL TONIGHT Ames Lodge, 105, of Minneapolis, will close its annual indoor carnival and bazaar at Elks Hall, Lyndale avenue at Sixth street tonight.

ADDRESS National Official, Organizer of Central Avenue Branch, Here This Week. "How to Live," was the subject of a talk given by Mrs. Cordella Winn, national Y. W. C. A. secretary for colored work in cities, at an open meeting at the Y. W. C. A. branch, 598 W. Central avenue, Wednesday evening. Mrs. Winn travels over the country in the interest of the Y. W. C.

'Dead' Would-be Suicide, Wakes Up Much Alive 'Dead' Would-be Suicide, Wakes Up Much Alive (Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., Nov. 12.—Reported by hospital attendants and the police as having passed into the next world, Ernest Wright, 35 years old, found himself very much alive in Emergency Hospital, Thursday morning. Not only was he alive, but, it was stated, the chances are that his attempt as self destruction will prove futile. Wright and Mrs. Belle Lee, same occupant of the house engaged in an altercation Wednesday morning and the former is alleged to have cut the woman's throat before severing his own windpipe in an effort to end his life. When surgeons made certain life was not extinct, they administered a salt solution, inserted a rubber tube in his windpipe and proceeded to stitch it. When the patient came from under the influence of the anesthetic he appeared surprised that surgeons had made a success of their efforts to save his life. Mrs. Lee was not seriously wounded. The wife of an officer in the revenue service is said to own the first "greenback" issued by the U. S. Government, bearing the number "one." ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, NOVEMBER 14, 1925 Helen Burns, New Jersey, Tired of Sheiks, Claims Jackson, Negro Fiance, Her Choice; Parents Object Vigorously. (Preston News Service) Bloomfield, N. J. Nov. 13.—It is said that despite the protests of her parents Miss Helen Burns, of 16 Walnut Terrace this city, says she will marry William E. Jackson, of Montclair, who, when he obtained a marriage license in New York Wednesday, admitted that he was of Negro blood. It is claimed that he told the clerks in the marriage license office that his mother was part Negro, her father being white and her mother colored. He added, it is said, that he had always passed as white. Ruling that Jackson was a Negro, Assistant Corporation Counsel Tarbox consented to the license grant. When they learned Thursday that Jackson was a Negro, Miss Burns' parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Burns, vigorously protested against the marriage, but their daughter was firm in her determination to marry Jackson. The girl's grandmother who lives at the Walnut Terrace address, is said to have sided with her granddaughter and spoke of Jackson as a man of high character and declared that she was emphatically in favor of the marriage. Nothing could be learned as to the date of the proposed wedding. Scores Sheiks and Cake Eaters. Miss Burns is reported to have declared that she was sick and tired of going around with cake eaters and sheiks. "They are a silly bunch of fools. Mr. Jackson is a fine man, gentlemanly and courteous; he thinks and talks of worthwhile things." She is quoted as saying, "I didn't want my mother to know that Mr. Jackson was a Negro, but now the fact that she does know won't stop me from marrying him." COOLIDGE PRAISES INTERRACIALWORK President Tells Y. M. C. A. Convention Race Relations Have Been Bettered. Washington, D. C., Nov. 13.—In an address before the International Y. M. C. A. Convention, President Coolidge paid a high tribute to the work of the interracial committees which have been in operation throughout the South during the last six years. Commending the Y. M. C. A. as a unifying force in religion, industry, and race relations, President Coolidge said: "It was the American Association that established the interracial commissions, which it is generally agreed have been of great importance in the past few years in promoting better understanding and relations between the white people and the colored people. This example has been an inspiration to students of the problem of race relations in all parts of the world." MRS ARVILLA McGREGOR DIES AT HOME WEDNESDAY Mrs. Arvilla McGregor, 494 Fuller avenue, wife of George McGregor, died at her home Wednesday evening after an illness of five weeks. Mrs. McGregor is survived by her husband, a daughter Gwendolyn, two brothers, William and Irving Chestney of Council Bluffs, Iowa, and a niece, Mrs. Elliner McCowan of Chicago. A. J. McGavock, mortician, is in charge of the funeral arrangements, which have not been completed. Seventy-one billion cigarettes were made in the United States last year. WHITE MEETINGS GAIN MORE THAN $500 FOR TRIAL St. Paul Contributes $395.79; Minneapolis $126; Sterling Club $57.00. Cash Payments Large Election of Local N. A. A. C. P. Officers Postponed to Nov. 22, at 'Little Pilgrim'. Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in four public meetings held in the Twin Cities last week for the purpose of raising funds for the Sweet trial, collected a total of $521.79. An appeal offered at St. Peter's in Minneapolis Sunday morning netted an even $126, with a promise that the sum would shortly be increased to $150. Friday evening, a dinner was given at Pioneer Hall sponsored by the local branch of the National Association. Mr. White was the principal speaker, and his address was followed by a cash donation from the audience of $110. The Sterling Club gave a stag for Mr. White Saturday evening at the house. From the members and guests $57 was received for the Sweet defense fund. Mass Meeting Enthusiastic. Sunday afternoon at the mass meeting at Pilgrim Baptist church, a packed enthusiastic audience responded to the plea of Mr. White with the largest sum that was collected in any of the meetings. It subscribed $128.79, barely topping the mark set by St. Peter's in the morning. An itemized list of the subscribers and the amounts they gave follows: After the address of Mr. White at the dinner meeting Friday, the following contributions were received: W. T. Francis, $10.00. The sum of $5.00 was given by Dr. V. D. Turner, R. C. Minor, Rev. Wm. H. Griffin, Dr. O. D. Howard, George W. James, J. B. Johnson, R. M. Johnson, R. F. Wilson, Wm. B. Walker, James E. (Continued on page 2) KEMP WINS CHEST AT CHURCH FAIR Second Prize Waived by Manager; Fox, Bass, McFarland Place; $150 Netted. Gladys Kemp was awarded the first prize, a hope chest, Thursday evening at the close of a three-day fair at St. James' church which marked the end of a contest that has been running for eight weeks. Miss Kemp turned in $58.72. Miss Armeda Wilkins, who waived her right to second prize, because she had managed the whole contest as well as participating in it, turned in $51.89. Hazel Fox was given second prize, a comb, brush and mirror set, with a total of $19.00. Third prize, a hat-box, went to Hortense Bass, who had a total of $18.70. Antoinette McFarland, the other contestant, received with Armeda Wilkins a consolation prize of a box of candy. Approximately $150 was netted in the drive by the young people. That sum will be given to the trustees for the new church fund. At the end of the program the trustees of the church presented Miss Wilkins with a huge bouquet of chrysanthemums and a card of thanks for her efforts in managing the contest. Rev. H. P. Jones Will Give Sermon At St. James Whole Town Mourns Death Of Underhill, Only Negro Citizen Whole Town Mourns Death Of Underhill, Only Negro Citizen Former City Minister, Leader in Community Life, Here on Vacation, Will Speak Tomorrow at 11 A. M. Tales of the return of Joan of Arc to her beloved French people, of the awakening of Frederick Barbarossa to lead his German hosts, of the second coming of the stalwart figure of the English Black Prince, will be likened to fact when Reverend H. P. Jones of St. James in Pittsburgh once more takes the pulpit of St. James, St. Paul, to deliver his annual "vacation" sermon Sunday, November 15, at 11 a. m. For the five years, 1910-15, Reverend Jones was the pastor of St. James church, Jay street at Fuller avenue. For five years he was a leader in the religious and social service work of the community. For five years he was one of the most respected and loved men in the Twin Cities. At the end of the five-year period, Reverend Jones was removed to Allen Chapel in Galesburg, Illinois. From there he was sent to St. James A. M. E. church in Pittsburg, where he has been for nine years. Sunday Topic Announced. Every year he returns for a time to St. Paul to spend his vacation at home, and it has come to be expected that during that time, he will give a sermon at his old church to his one-time congregation. The topic which he has selected to use next Sunday is "A View from a Palace Window." Sunday morning the stage will be set, the people will be expectant, and to the proud singing of hundreds of voices, Reverend Jones, the returning religious hero of the entire community, will once again greet his familiar, reverent audience. OWEN CLAIMS IGNORANCE MARKS NEGRO EDITORS (From the Pittsburgh American) Chicago, Ill., Nov. 5.—Before 200 Pullman porters called together in the effort now being made to unionize them, Chandler Owen, chief editorial writer of "The Chicago Bee," characterized Negro newspaper editors as "little, ignorant, and contemptible." He declared they had no knowledge of their particular job, or of the great problems affecting the world, and that they are venal, selling their principles to the highest bidder. Most of them, he asserted, are beneath the notice of intelligent men. Storekeeper Leaves Fortune of More Than $100,000 to Children of Village; Is Buried With Much Pomp. All the citizens in Mays Landing, New Jersey, bowed in grief when John Underhill, the only colored resident of the village, was buried several days ago. The whole town turned out for the funeral; a special edition of the weekly paper was published for the event; three ministers of the town and a joint choir from all the churches in the village assisted in the ceremony; the court house was converted for the first time in its history into a church where all the people might assemble. Underhill, before his death was only the keeper of a small confectionery store dealing in the sort of penny business which small children only patronize consistently. Once he was dead, he became the town hero, the man who was pointed out as a perfect example of Christian humility and business acumen... He died leaving a fortune of more than $100,000 which his will stip- Family Has Three Deaths In 13 Days Three deaths in thirteen days have been recorded in the family of Oree Locke, 362 N. Dale street, railroad man, and member of Fezzan Temple, No. 26. His mother, Mrs. Amanda Locke of Kansas City, died suddenly on October 7. One day later, Naomus Locke, also of Kansas City, succumced after an illness of a few months. A double funeral, over which Reverend Williams officiated, was held in Kansas City, Mrs. Locke attended. October 20, Mr. Locke received a telegram announcing the death of his aunt, Mrs. L. L. Burton, prominent in church and social circles of Denver, Colorado. The Locke's were unable to attend the funeral of Mrs. Burton. GARAGE OPENING SCHEDULED DEC. Filling Station, 40-car Building to Begin Service Under J. C. Few, Owner. Mr. J. C. Few, who has resided in St. Paul since 1902, is building a modern up-to-date garage and filling station at Arundel and Rondo streets. The garage will have space to accommodate about 40 cars. The owner will carry a full line of auto accessories, will have a paint shop in connection, and will use the Pure Oil Company's gasoline and oil. Mr. Few's wife, who has had considerable business experience will manage the business. The building which is of stone construction and is fireproof, is being built by N. J. Jordan, a Negro contractor, who is using Negro brick-layers and laborers. Mr. Few plans on opening his garage for business on or about December 1st. In a recent membership drive, the Paseo Y. W. C. A., a colored branch in Kansas City, Mo., gained 248 new members. OUR MISTAKE In the Spicer story which The Echo carried last week, there were two errors. The verdict which the jury gave, allowed Mr. Spicer $100, not $500. Ray Cummins was retained as the counsel for the defendant, not C. W. Cumins of the Gleeman case. The Echo apologizes for these mistakes. We ask that when news items are submitted for publication, their authors make every attempt to see that the matter is accurate in every detail. Only with that kind of co-operation can the columns of The Echo be kept free of unintentional inaccuracies. ulated should go to the erection of a public gymnasium and a playground for the children that he had loved more than all else. For 26 years Underhill had lived in the village apart from its business and social life, devoting his time to the cultivation of friendship with the children who went to his shop for (Continued on page 3) PRICE FIVE CENTS DARROW DEFENSE GETS UNDER WAY IN DETROIT CASE DARROW DEFENSE GETS UNDER WAY IN DETROIT CASE Trial of Dr. Sweet and Eleven Companions Starts After Halt Over Jury. Witnesses Examined Officers Put to Cross-questioning; Claim No Mob Attack on Sweet Home. (Preston News Service) Detroit, Mich., Nov. 13.—Clarence Darrow, of Chicago, the famous champion of the cause of the weak, and Arthur B. Hays, began the fight for the acquittal of Dr. O. H. Sweet and ten others on trial before Judge Frank Murphy in Recorder's Court here Thursday for the murder of Leon F. Breiner, white. Dr. William Bryan, Wayne county medical examiner, one of the first witnesses called, described his post mortem examination of Breiner's body. He said the death was caused by internal hemorrhage following gunshot wounds. Darrow confined his examination to two questions. His cross-examination questions were: "Doctor, you did not find the bullet?" The answer was, "No." "So far as you know it has not been found?" "That is correct," the witness replied. Prosecuting Attorney Robert M. Toms, in his opening statement, said it was the theory of the people that eleven defendants willfully and with malice aforethought armed and banded themselves together with a common agreement that one or more of them would shoot in the event of any attack, however slight. Following this statement, the jury which it took nearly five days to select, took their places and Toms proceeded to outline his case. He said that Dr. Sweet bought a house at 2960 Garland avenue, last June, but made no attempt to occupy it until September 8, the day before the shooting. On September 9, Tomsa said, a large quantity of groceries were brought and the defendants came singly to the house before nightfall. Prior to the shooting, he said, there were about 70 people in the street near Dr. Sweet's house but there was no disturbance. Two volleys were fired from the house, one bullet striking Breiner in the back and passing through his body. All the shots he said were fired by the (Continued on page 4) PEOPLES ATTENDS LUMBER BANQUET Local Contractor Only Colored Guest of Celotex Company at Curtis Hotel. F. Peoples, local real estate man and hame builder, was the only colored attendant of a banquet given at the Curtis Hotel Tuesday evening by the Celotex Lumber Manufacturing Company for retail lumber dealers, contractors, and home builders of the Twin Cities. Mr. Peoples is one of the few Negro home builders in the Northwest who does all the contracting for his work. He has a policy that he will erect any building from a cost of $100 to $100,000 without a cash payment if the lot upon which the building is to be put is owned by the contracting party. Since June 1 he has begun and completed homes for William Cannon, Sanford Folling, Philip P. Maywether, Walter Morgan, James N. Smith, all of St. Paul, and for John F. Woodhouse of Minneapolis. Mr. Peoples has been engaged in the local home building trade for 15 years. PUBLISHED BY THE ST.

The eyes of the nation are on the trial of Dr. Sweet and his companions, in Detroit. Clarence Darrow, chief counsel for the defense, in the sensational Leopold-Loeb case alone achieved enough fame to have public attention riveted upon any other case that he might take. Add to that fact the one that he is upholding a Negro in what is believed to be a test case in the matter of segregation in residential districts, and the keen interest which has been evinced over the action can be explained without difficulty. Undoubtedly, certain aspects of the situation which led up to the Sweet trial are repulsive. Certain, too, that for the people who are being held in the case, there is every element of horror involved in it. Nevertheless, it seems to be shaping the mould for another advance in the American history of the Negro. North, East, West and South, minute men from the National Association office have been sounding the cry to rally to the assistance of their fellows in the Wayne county jail. And over the whole country, black men, realizing how near their own hearts was the cause being plead, have given liberally, sometimes with hurtful cost, to the defense fund. In the North, Negroes who may have been smug in the belief of their northern remoteness from situations of the sort over which the trial is being held, are being jolted out of their complacency into a realization that they are no less liable than their southern brothers to conditions of economic hurt. In the South there is growing a stronger belief that there is developing a closer bond between the northern and the southern Negro. From the whole there should be evolved that vital factor in the progress of any group that has been sadly lacking in the story of the development in America of the Negro—sturdy, firmly-knit co-operation. QUIVERING SCALE OF JUSTICE Often it is hard to believe that there is a silver and that mars a sunny period. A recent murder in Kansas City brought to the attention which has existed in that city for some in Kansas City, it seems, is cheap. According to the Kansas City Call, no Negro was another in that city in the past two years had on unless he has confessed and given himself up and cry by a searching police force; the presecuous busy itself with a harsh investigation. Consequently, murder is common, and half a city boast that they have killed two or three men. In the Twin Cities the situation is altogether the gaze of the law upon all activities as of whites, that there is an occasional compaching of regulations. Contemporaneous with the writing of this article being tried in a local court; a murder of a Negrozens rest assured that the justice that will be done will be just as summary as it would have been in one involving white offenders. There is a distinct contrast here; a balancing vice in a tipsy manner, and a poising of them in action. There can be no doubt about the choice a person would make between the two systems. Often it is hard to believe that there is a silver lining to every cloud that mars a sunny period. A recent murder in Kansas City brought to the fore-front a condition which has existed in that city for some years. Negro life in Kansas City, it seems, is cheap. According to the Kansas City Call, no Negro who has murdered another in that city in the past two years has been sent to prison unless he has confessed and given himself up. There is no hue and cry by a searching police force; the presecutor's office does not busy itself with a harsh investigation. Consequently, murder is common, and half a dozen Negroes of the city boast that they have killed two or three men. In the Twin Cities the situation is altogether different. So searching is the gaze of the law upon all activities of Negroes as well as of whites, that there is an occasional complaint because of the chafing of regulations. Contemporaneous with the writing of this article, there is a case being tried in a local court; a murder of a Negro by a Negro. Citizens rest assured that the justice that will be dispensed in this case will be just as summary as it would have been had the case been one involving white offenders. There is a distinct contrast here; a balancing of the scales of justice in a tipsy manner, and a poising of them in a strictly fair fashion. There can be no doubt about the choice which the ordinary person would make between the two systems. FOR YOU READERS Apropos of the recent appearance in St. Paul's Patte, the author of the much-talked of novel, "What," the question has been widely asked, "What Public Library copies of this book and other authors of the race?" This timely question has been, and the following condition is what we find. The library has what is called a "desiderate which contains order cards for those books not needed, or regarded as desirable. Incidentally they or five hundred. In this file have been placed over cards of White's "Fire in the Flint," the "World America" and presumably those of other book authors. The reason for this file is that the libraries so it can purchase only a very few of the needed books. Books are ordered from this file available. This is a condition that can be remedied at the only one way, and that is through gifts. As the on the shelves of the library and available to the purchase them, some of our progressive clubs and the matter under consideration of buying books and presenting them to the library. This will recommendable act which would be greatly appreciated library administration, but also by the great people who wish to read these books. The following books are recommended for the book are interested: Apropos of the recent appearance in St. Paul of Walter F. White, the author of the much-talked of novel, "The Fire in the Flint," the question has been widely asked, "Why hasn't the St. Paul Public Library copies of this book and other recent novels by authors of the race?" This timely question has been investigated, and the following condition is what we find: The library has what is called a "desiderata" file or a file which contains order cards for those books not possessed, but needed, or regarded as desirable. Incidentally these cards number four or five hundred. In this file have been placed the prospective order cards of White's "Fire in the Flint," the "Who's Who in Colored America" and presumably those of other books on or by race authors. The reason for this file is that the library is short of funds so it can purchase only a very few of the more necessary and needed books. Books are ordered from this file as funds become available. This is a condition that can be remedied at the present time in only one way, and that is through gifts. As these books should be on the shelves of the library and available to those who cannot purchase them, some of our progressive clubs and societies should take the matter under consideration of buying copies of these books and presenting them to the library. This would be a highly commendable act which would be greatly appreciated, not only by the library administration, but also by the great mass of St. Paul people who wish to read these books. The following books are recommended for the buying of those who are interested: Faucet, Jessie. "There Is Confusion." White, Walter, "The Fire in the Flint." White, Walter, "Flight." "Who's Who in Colored America." These books can be secured through any of the city. "If it keeps going for a year I may subscribe for it at the end of that time." Those are some of the things that have come to our ears since we arrived last week. For the time we will pass lightly over the compliments we have received on our general make-up, on the promise of our editorial column, on the type of news that we carried. We will ignore, too, the letters that have come to the office bearing good wishes, congratulations, and more substantial, checks and money orders ranging in amount from seventy-five cents to four dollars, a two year subscription from a man who is "more than glad that someone has finally realized how necessary a paper is to the community, and has had the courage to start such an enterprise." Let us disregard all the too few nice things that we heard and concentrate on the others. If everyone in the community decides that the paper needs encouragement, that its publishing is an effort which should be supported by a single-minded citizenry, and yet decrees that the individual support which he will offer must be withheld until the paper proves itself a stable business, how much good will be derived by the organ? Should the people of this district extend to us smiles, wishes for good luck, and nothing more during the next three months, the result would be disastrous. A newspaper, more nearly than any other kind of business endeavor, requires constant group support. In the first few months of the life of any paper, material encouragement is the most necessary factor in its development. During those weeks, a circulation must be built up, a great enough subscription list obtained so that effective arguments can be presented to prospective advertisers to the end of their buying advertising space. Once the firm ground of a wide circulation is attained, with a consequent steady influx of advertising matter, attention can be devoted in even greater detail to the presentation of attractive, interesting news material. So rests our case. We are, frankly, in the critical period of our youthful career. Your approval backed by a willingness to subscribe to The Echo can make us; your approval backed by nothing but queries as to how long we will last can break us. When you saw the first issue of the paper, were you one of the people who said, "If it keeps going for a time, I'll subscribe, or, actuated by a desire to help all you could, did you remit a sum to cover your subscription for a certain period?

Garland quality Priced $5.0 The St. Paul Echo, in its initial number is a gem, both in mechanical appearance and in literary merit. We greet it as we would an agreeable new acquaintance and hope that it has come to stay. Such a publication, as a mouthpiece for our racial group, is one of our vital needs and should meet with the hearty support of the Twin City people whose interests it seeks to serve. Nothing should cause us to drop our heads in greater shame than the failure of our legitimate enterprises, for lack of our support. Yet, recent occurrences show, at least, a loose screw that needs tightening up along this line. Still, if we do not misjudge the pride of our race in Minnesota, they need only to have their attention properly directed to these matters and their support is assured. Merely wishing such ventures long life and bon voyage does not help their existence. Wishes are not dollars. Furnish your part of the modus operandi. They have mine. (Signed) T. J. CARR, Pastor, St. Paul Baptist Church. SAFETY VALVE With the initial issue of The St. Paul Echo on November 7th, we have the latest venture in the field of journalism. Its general tone and make up reflected a high morale, and was resplendent with refinement and character, somewhat in contrast to a few of our weekly publications pervading yellow journalism and heralding our crimes with flaming headlines. The editorial, "We Come," is very timely, concisely stating the purpose of the organization fostering the enterprise. It was not a plea for patronage or support, but rather an expression of fact. The officers of this paper have assumed the grave responsibility of gratifying a need in the community that has existed since the sesession of the Bulletin-Appeal. To make secure its continuance, let every loyal citizen of our group who has not already subscribed, send in his or her subscription, as the success of any publication is measured by, and dependent upon its paid circulation. This journal is a distinct asset to the community, as it heralds the activities of our church, club, and social life, affording a medium of advertising for our business, and is a champion for civil rights. Encourage the staff of this paper by immediate and hearty co-operation. (Signed) RICHARD L. STOKES MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. November 9, 1925. Gentlemen: I received a copy of The Echo, and I am indeed glad to note that St. Paul has again taken its place on the newpaper map. A paper for the Twin Cities is needed and the failure to have one doesn't speak well for the Negroes of the Twin Cities.

Officer Testifies. Inspector Schuknecht testified that he posted himself with Lieutenant Shellenberger near the Sweet home and that he had eight patrolmen in the vicinity, three of whom were in Plain clothes, They were there to prevent any breach of the peace and to protect Dr. Sweet's home. “I informed the men before we left the station that Dr. Sweet would be permitted to occupy his house, even if it took every man in the depart- ment to protect him.” Automobile traffic was diverted from Garland avenue, and he ordered all citizens be kept moving, and said there were only a few groups of two or three persons. He said that just prior to the shooting he heard no shouting and did not see any armed mien in the neighborhood. Shellenberger told the court that after the firing, which came from the second floor of Sweet's home, he went to the Sweet residence. The door was opened when he announced that he was a police officer, “What the hell are you fellows shooting for?”, and Dr. Sweet replied that the peo- ple outside were ruining his house. The officer said that the only damage he could find to the house was two small holes in an upstairs front win- dow. Darrow Cross-examines, Darrow cross-examined the wit- ness at length.
