man shot three times in the stomach,
another shot in the chest. and negro
shot to death is the result of desperate

seat at the show, and was ordered by the
police to move over to the side set apart
for negroes. He refused and had to be
forcibly put where he belonged.
After the show was over he deliberately
walked up to where Policeman Robert
son and Crockett were standing and com
menced shooting. Robertson and Crock
EFT returned the fire, with the result that
the negro was shot twice in the stomach
and fatally wounded. He is thought to be
dying now.
Policeman Robertson was shot three
times in the stomach, and is very serious
" wounded.
Policeman Crockett was shot in the
breast, but the wound is considered
slight.
Policeman Robertson and the negro are
being taken to Raleigh on a special I'M
der charge of DR.. John Hill Tucker, of
this place.
A phone message has been sent to the
hospital to make ready for the two men,
and DR.. Hubert Register was notified to
be ready to operate.
The special arrived here at 1920 this
Both the negro and Policeman
Robertson were aboard in the same con-
dition as when they left Henderson. The
