negro had shown clean pair of heels,
they returned to their car.
The negro boarded the car at
Twenty seventh and NJ streets and
Immediately became obstreperous He
was apparently very drunk, and began
abusing the conductor using the vilest
language. Prim ordered him TO CON
slider himself under arrest, but the ne
gro offered violent resistance and the
motorman went to PRINTS assistance
Together they managed to place him
on the front platform, with the pur
pose OF turning him over to police
officer. But the car had proceeded
hardly half block before the negro
jumped off. He was followed by the
crew.
After he had run short distance
the negro. drawing his revolver, turn
ed and fired at them three times. They
couldn't afford 10 leave the car so long,
and as the negro was armed, they gave
up the chase Every effort Will be
made, however, to recapture him, and
the Virginia Railway and Power Com
pany Will prosecute him 10 the full
extent of the law.
