dance To preserve order AMI when
Eatcliff started fight with another
negro put him out of the hall The
black resisted and Howell was 70 ced
TO use his club. He did not place him
under arrest and the negro left the
place. Half an hour later Howell
went to the porch at the front OF the
dance hall and was seated in chair
when he was shot. The negro was
about rs feet from the officer when
