I told him th&t neither of us could move because of the heavy traffic in front of us (the bus es). “At this point,” continued Patterson, “the man started calling me all sorts of niggers, and I started talking to him in the same tone that he was using. “Before I know what was happening, he had grabbed a hatchet from the bus (these are standard equipment on all bus es for emergency uses) and started towards me. Before I could get out of my car, he began to cut me on the ear and on the side of my head with the hatchet. ”1 finally managed to get out of tjie car and get the hatchet a— way from him. At this point, the man began to run, and I was losing a lot of blood, so I went to the police station around the corner, where I talked to two policemen, and one of them (Pat said Officer P. A. Dean) asked me what I was doing at the bus station, as if the bus station was off-limits to me. “They told me 1 should go to the hospital, which I did. There I received the stitches and treatment, then I was released and arrested. “I tried to swear out a war rant on the man, but was told I would have to see the desk sergeant, then the solicitor.” Patterson is now recuperat ing at his home, pending the trial, which has been set for Thursday, September 22, at 2 p. m., before City Court Judge Samuel Pretlow Winborne.
