the slightest degree while talking to
Barnes. and did so only when the off,
GERS started to put their hands on her
and that then her outcry could not be
called a scream or Shrek" sss She
protested, as any woman OF her standing
would have done. against the men put
ting their hands on her. and then be-
came hysterlcal. The two officers drag
ged her along the asphalt walk to the

negro porter came out of the White
House. and, picking up the woman by
the legs. some distance above her shoe
tops. helped carry her down to the en-
trance to the grounds. where van was
