were within a few steps of him before
he saw them, then he jumped and ran

on him to halt, Officer Anderson fired
his pistol toward the negro to brighten
him. But he shot closer than he in

the negro's left hand, in the fieshy part
between the thumb and first finger.
After running some twenty-five yards
further he looked down and saw the
