The occupants of the house were then on the scene, hav ing been awakened by the firing, but said they had not heard a siren blow. My driver said he would have stopped if he had heard a siren, or recognized the car as a patrol car. The facts are, the officers were not in a state patrol car; had no siren or other symbol of authority to identify themselves as officers. A 32x6 10 ply tire was ruined and Bryson Beck and Noel Hill, were put in great fear for their lives. Feb. 8, I went to Franklin to contact the officers. I did not seek compensation for the expen sive tire which was utterly ruined. but went for the purpose of giving light to the acts of men who are entrusted by the public and their superiors to enforce the laws of our land.

The of- tsthen said they had blown the ment of the exact facts of the oc currence to their superiors and sign a statement to that end for publication in The Franklin Press. The two officers agreed to do this, and went t0 the home of Mayor Harrison, of Franklin, and told him they were guilty of an assault upon two innocent men who had not, and did not break any law. Chief of police Baird said h would sign such a statement as Patrolman Guy would give to The Press for publication. My truck driver and I accom panied Patrolman Guy to the newspaper office and there he gave the facts of the incident for pub lication. After we left town, the officers went to the newspaper, so we are informed, and instructed them not to publish the statement just given them. To my knowledge, the statement has never appeared in print ' We learned from the officer that they were looking for a fugitive. Neither of the men in my truck were fugitives, nor had they brok en any laws. Had one of the of ficers' bullets killed one of these News Of Crabtree- Iron Duff School With Honor Roll Rev. H. G.
