a negro called at the station house on
Third Street, to request a policeman
to go aad arrest another negro who
was disturbing the peace by raising a
row with certain negro women Capt
Cochran, Chief of Police, accompan-
led by officer Kinsey and McDevltt,
started to make the arrest. When
thew arrived at the house, kinsey en-
tered alone. no one thinking there
would be any trouble in arresting a
negro, as they had invariably been
found ready to submit quietly Ehen
an officer called for them. But in
this case they had manifestly made a
miscalculation. When Kinsey entered,
the negro, whose name is VIM. Knox,
was sitting in the middle of the room,
surrounded by a number of negro
women lying on beds on the floor.
Kinsey remarked to the hurley negro.

when intoxicated, that ne wanted
him. The negro replied, suppose I
don't go-I1l think about it" and at
once springing to his feet, and s%eizing
the chair, dealt Kinsey a furious
blow, and though the blow was
warded off and the chair broken, the
blows were repeated SO thick and fast
that Kinsey was placed hOrs dc COM
bal, and forced to call for assistance,
when Cochran and McDevitt rushed
In, and found Kinsey down and in
the firm grasp of the hereulean Afri-
can. After a desperate struggle, in
which several chairs were demolished
the three officers by their united eff
forts got the black savage down, and

thought, when at the request 0.
