colored men who pinioned his arms
so he was neither able to use his club
or blow his whistle for assistance.
Bowers then, it is alleged, kicked
Hilyard in the groin, on the shin and
also split his lip and then fled. Officer
Hilyard reported the occurrence TO
Chief of Police Stanley and the latter

taking their man looked rather
dubious for awhile the officers were
forced to draw their revolvers anC
scatter the crowd. They then put
their prisoner into the automobile anC
started for Middletown.
