when the officer walked up to him
ana stated consider yourself under
arrest He was charged with selling
Coca-Cola on Sunday, he said. There
were some words about bond, when
the officer put the nippers on him
and dragged him from the real, par
or the store to the front OF the
building, when John Sibert had Of
Tered to put up bond, which was ac-
cepted, and he was released.
Marion Pate stated that the porter

out a warrant by Dunlap, who had re-
FUSED to accept bond or to stop and
talk about bond with the men in the
store. Dunlap had not seen the boy
commit any act for which he should

In the defens, Policeman Julian d.
Chandler was the first witness. He
stated that a cOlored woman had
come to Policeman Dunlap twice on
Thursday night while they were at
the tabernacle and complained to him
that another woman was picking at
her. On the third time when she
came to the officer, he came up and
asked Dunlap to let him settle the diff
hcuity. There were three women and
n Hffla nhi1I nn1 h. h-l -
women off in different directions, tell
ing them that they must quit fussing.
AS the woman started to go up Church
street towards. Mr.. Levy's residence,
she a stated, Il don't give a damn
about the whole police force" The
statement was made, he said, loud
enough for him INT Dunlap to hear
across the street, and he had jumped
on his wheel and followed her. When
he came up to her and got off his
wheel, she started to run and he had
followed her. He caught her and
tried to put the nippers on her, but
she had pushed him off and started
to run into Mr.. Levy's yard. He fol-
lowed and caught her around the
body and was en%deavOring to take her
out, when Policeman Dunlap came up.
At this time Mr.. Julian Levy. Jr.. was
on the other side Of the woman, just
back OF Mr.. Dunlap. A dog grabbed
him and bit him and he was concern
ed so much with getting rid of the
dog and holding to the woman at the
same time, that he did not know what
was going on between Dunlap and
Julian Levy, Jr. The woman was be-
tween them all the time and the dog
was trying to bite him. He turned
around once and. saw Mr.. Geo. Levy
strike Policeman Dunlap with the ten

passed that he saw. He did not see
the pistol or know that it was drawn
until he went back to the tabernacle,
when Policeman Dunlap told him that
1t had been drawn. He said that Mr..
Goo. Levy did not say anything to
him, o had he heard anything about
bond mentioned until after the diff
Guilty between Messrs. Levy and Po-
liceman Dunlap. He turned the wo-
man loose as soon as Mr.. Julian Levy
Jr., had stated that he would give
bond and Mr.. VanDcventer stated that
he would give him n check.
