Tuesday, Bishop Eva M. Lawson, who operates Emergency Homes for Families
at 1000 Mark Street and 615 E. Hargett St.. Raleigh, related how her faith was
well-founded and how sure she was that the people of Raleigh and elsewhere
would help her in the raising of the $2,281 said to be due for taxes on the Mark
Street property.
She was definite in her
resolve and determined in her
purpose that those who wait
upon the Lord will not grow

She viewed the situation aa one
of those unfortunate eveitts that

She did say that the acquiring
of tbe Mark Street property
grew out of the fact that she
was constrained to aid sootoone

it out of a desire to aid someone
and saidshe was gmng to keep it

Attorney Paul urged to the
court that the state had no evi

degree murder. Paul told
reporters that the only evidence

Barber were two confessions

(FOP) last week when he
denounced tbe body for conduct
ing a "kangaroo court," in
which he, Alfriwoso Deal. 55. an
officer for 24 years, had been
Hned because he criticized the
action of some of his fellows.
His trouble is said to have
b^un when he took issue over
the treatment given Delbert
Africa in a shootout on August 8.
Deal is alleged to have made a
strong protest about the
treatment given Africa in an
exchar,ge of gunfire that result
ed in the slaying of another
officer, James Ramp.
His alleged discontent
became so boresome to Mayor
Frank Rizzo and Police Com
missioner Joseph F. O'Neill
that Deal resigned on Nov. 16.
His resignation seemed to have
not been enough to satisfy the
"brass." This caused a meeting
of the board of directors of FOP.
Tbe board is said to have voted,
M-0. to fine him $1,000 anu
suspend him for two years.
Tbe board was upheld at a
meeting of the membership,
Wednesday night, Dec. 8. by a
vote of 488-12, at a membership
meeting, held in the Ixxige Five
