The affidavits of Mrs. Trippleton
and Miss Elliott follow:
“I Mrs. R. L. Trippleton, white,
age ’37, of 508 Market St., make
the following statement of my own
free will- and accord.
“Sunday night or early Monday
morning, about 1:25 a- m. it was so
h’ot thtat I couldn’t sleep, and 1 was
sitting on the front porch alone,
when a dark colored car, about a
36 or 37 Ford, four-door, stopped
in front of the house. I was inter
ested, because it looked like a car
that belonged to a friend ol ours.
I heard some men talking, and
looked to see if they were coming
in, and then I heard something hit
hard, as if a lick against the bone
structure of the head, and saw
a man thrown out of the car, land
ing in the street The car then di'ove
off and left him laying there.
It went out Market in the direction
of 17th St. The man tried to get up
and couldn’t and then fell back
down.
“I called pat Eliott, a roomer in
the house, to see what to do. We
talked it over and decided to call
the police before a car ran over
the man, as he was stretched out
on his back, with his head on the
curb and feet out in the road. iVe
called police headquarters and two
men in uniform drove ip in a few
minutes.
“They looked the man over with
their flashlights, helped h$ni sit up,
and asked hin^ his hame, but he
couldn’t talk. He made an effort
to move his mouth, but couldn t
say anything, so one of the police
men helped him stand on his feet,
while the other one opened the j
doer to the cal'. He was a heavy
man, and it took both of them to
hep him into the car. They put
him in the back seat and closed
the door.
"They then asked me my name
and got the information about what
The man had a cut or gash on the
had happened and what I had seen,
side of his head and was bleeding
around the temple. The policemen
told me they were going to carry
the man to the hospital for exami
nation to see how badly lje was
hurt, and drove off in the direc
tion of the hospital.
“These officers did net abuse or
mistreat this man in any way,
but were extremely helpful and
acted in a gentlemanly manner.
The man was not out of my sight
from the time I saw him thrown
out of the car until the officers
arrived, as the phone is jn the
hallway, and I could see him lay- >
ing there all the time while I call
ed police.
•'The above statement is true to
the best of my knowledge and
belief.”

The second affidavit:
"I, Pat Elliott, white, age 22, of
508 Market street, make the fol
lowing statement of my own free
will and accord.
•’On Sunday night around 1:30
a. m., I was in bed in my room,
awake and smoking a cigarette,
when I heard a car with some men
talking in it drive up outside. It
sounded as if there were several
men talking. I also heard the lick
they, gave the man and was look
ing out the bedroom window and
saw them throw him out of the
car.
“Mrs. Trippieton came to my
door and asked me t0 get up. We
both went back out on the porch
and I saw the man laying there in
the street, with his head on the
curbing, and after we talked it
over, Mrs. Trippieton called the
police.
“The police came and asked us
about what we had seen and help
ed the man into the police car.
He was bleeding about the head
when they arrived. They treated
him very nice and in no way mo
lested or abused him.
“The above statement is true to
the best of my knowledge and
belief.”

This country "is now world Tar- j
