Story of the Crime,
The crime that caused the trouble
was one of the most atrocious ever
committed here. Miss Davis and her
escort, VERNE Newton, were walking

at Troost park. AT Nineteenth street
and Woodland avenue three negroes

Davis was dragged 400 feet into a

was still insensible. They are both
in critical condition,
Eight suspects were arrested and
two Of these were identified. This
provoked the demonstration of the

threatening Marshal Maxwell sWore

prepared to defend the Jail. His pre-
caution prevented an attack and
caused the rioters to overrun the

About 500 men, divided into com

all negroes that happened to be

the rioters scattered over such an ex.

check the disorder. It kept up until
