Cross Eyed Negro's Plant

When Raymond Clark was discharged
from a New Jersey brickyard because
they didn't want a eross-eyed negro
and when because of the same objection
to him he could not get another job he
tried burglary for living, says the New
York Sun.
Herman r. Meles woke up recently and
found Clark and another negro in his
room at 5i9 Riverdale Drive, flourishing a
revolver. Meles grabbed Clark by the
coat collar, but Clark shed the coat and
ran. Meles took the coat to the West
One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street sta
tion, and Clark was identified from it and
arrested later. Clark's companion has
not been found.
