Ac cording to eyewitnesses when the argument started It attracts ed little or no attention and was considered just another of many that take place from time to time in the lieglon headj|uarters. The t]vo brothers, Arnold and Harvey Jacobs, both prominent Danville citizens are alleged to have been slashed when the ar gument waxed too hot over the relative merits of a headwaiters influence in Hot Springs, Va. The headwaiter is a local resi dent and many Danville waiters write him from time to time seeking employment. The argument is reported to have become so bitter that the manager of the Legion Hall at tempted to eject one of the mem bers, Herbert Stewart, who, af- tr passing several doors brolce free and retiuned to the scene with a penknife whereupon he is alleged to have started slash ing at the two brothers. During -th» -«teiggl% i^mold was cut in the back and Har vey’s arm was severely slaved. Both were taken to Winslow Hospital where stitches were re quired to close the wounds and Harvey was still in the hospital Tuesday afternoon. The free-for- all also resulted in the smashing of several windows and over turning of furniture. A queer coincident of the cut ting of the two brothers and their hospitalization was that their mother was admitted to Lincoln Hospital in Durham the earlier part of the same day with a leg ailment.

APEX The chief of police of this little town, located in the southwestern section of Wake County went on a rampage here again this week and brutally beat up a Negro while placing him un^er ar rest. It will be recalled that the same chief of police shot to death -two Negroes in the Apex Jtiil on May 10, 1952, after he had been slashed with a knife. Both of the Ne groes were shot several times, but the slayings were ruled “justifiable homicide.” According to Alfred Scott, 32, Negro of Apex, who made the statement from his hospital bed in Raleigh, Police Chief Sam L. Bagwell beat him last Satur day until he was nearly imcon- scious. He stated that Bagwell slugged and choked him after he ordered him to stop his car in Apex. According to Bagwell he and Deputy Sheriff C. L. Holmes stopped Scott’s car about 5:45 P. M. Saturday and attempted to put him under arrest for drunken driving. “When he refused to go with us, we had to take him out of the car by force and at tempt to search him and take a real long pocketknife. I had to strike him and he wound up with a black eye.” “It took both of us (Bagwell and Holmes) to bring him to the police station,'' Bagwell said. “I had a doctor standing by at his office at about 7 o’clock and I offered to take Scott to him ter passing oOv^ral doors broke fused to go. ■— BagWell charged Scott with drunken driving and resisting arrest. The chief said another Negro in the Scott car, Walter Thorpe, was sober and did not offer any opposition. ^cott said he and Thorpe had come across the railroad and were pulling into the next block when a siren blew. The chief and Holmes came up and he stopped. “Mr. Holmes asked me was I drunk and I said no," Scott said. “He told me to get out and they took me back to the car and Mr. Holmes left me with Mr. Bagwell. But Mr. Holmes went back to get my car and I asked Mr. Bagwell to take me to my sister and not to jail. I didn't want to go to jail, especial ly with him, because I know about him.” “He (Bagwell) hit me. He said ‘You’re a smart s-o-b. I’ve Been trying to get you a long time.’ He was hitting me and he tore my shirt. His hand was on my throat.” Scott said he did not remem ber anything else until he was in the police station. He was bailed out between 9:30 and 10 o’clock by his sister, according to Bagwell. He was admitted to St. Agnes Hotel here Sunday morning.
