eighth street. The fleeing negro and the
blood sesmed 10 call for action, and the
man pulled a revolver and fred two shots
" the runner The sound ~ the bullets
caused Carmody. who was about fifty feet
g behind, to shift To the opposite side Of the
street to get out Of range.
The negro continued down Broadway,
but was Ovortaken In the middle Of this
block by a touring car carrying four men.
They had heard the first shots and suspected
he was q murderer. When the car was
alongside a man in the front scat sent two
bullets point blank at the negro, but they
only caused him 10 leap to the sidewalk
and turn west into Sixty-seventh street.
IN front Of the Hotel Boulevard on the
corner anofher man got busy with his re-
volveT, but he couldn' touch the fleet
footed Jefferson.
jefferson came to grief when he fell into
the hands of about seventy-five men with
anti-negro prejudices, who were returning
from IN outing and were walking down
Amsterdam avenue in close formation.
They grabbed him as soon as he reached
the avenue, and, spurred by the sight of
the negroes own blood, stopped a passing
milk wagon and yanked OF a heavy rope
by which the cans were held together.
String him up before the cops stop US"
Carmody heard one man say when he was
q hundred feet away.
The rope was being pulled to the top of a |
lamppost when lCarmody and Policemen
Maloney, King, Kearns and McKeever, who
had heard the various shots, arrived on the
scene.
Carmody couldn't see anything Of his
prisoner, but suspected hat he was at the
centre of the. struggling, Infatuated crowd
of mel wh0 were kicking and punching each
other in their efforts to get at their victim.
"Let him 90 now and we'l take care Of
him. commanded Carmody, as tho police
started in to pull of the negro's assailants.
You'd better look the other way a few
minutes If you don't want TO get slugged!'
yelled the man who seemed to be the ring
leader. Jump into the ooppers, boysl Bill
and Mike and neil handle this nigger.'
The police decidedly instantly that the
mob wouldn't brook any fooling, and swung
their nightstioks viciorlsly In all directions.
As the crowd scattered, Carmody drew his
. revolver.
This man is my prisoner and I'm going
to get him alive if l have to kill a dozen
men to do it."
His warning was effective And the negro
was left lying in the street, unable to move
from the punishment he had received,
Carmody saw that he might be danger
ously injured and called for the patrol
wagon. When the policeman finally reached
tho station house with Jefferson he found
the two negro women sitting on the steps
where he left them when he went after his
assailant.
An ambulance was called from Roose-
welt Hospital and the surgeon sounded the
negro carefully for internal injuries, but
decided that all the damage was on the
outside. 1t took him an hour to stitch up
the gashes in the wounded mans face.
After Garmody had told all the details
Of the affair in the West Side court Magis-
trate Cornell said:
is every man in New York going armed
these days2 Such a Wild West episode as
this certainly makes it look that way.
What did you mean, Jefferson, by kick
ing this policeman and running awa when
he was only taking you to the station house
to complain against the woman who cus

jefferson, whose reply could hardly be
were badly gashed, mumbled:
Il was never arrested before and I didn't
know what the policeman would do to me.
I don't remember what l done TO him."
The negro was held in $500 bail for as
saulting Carmody, and the two women
were sent to the workhouse for six months.
INDICTED FOR BIG LAND FRAUD.
