New York until they reached
the confines of Kentucky
when a burly train conductor,
about 10 o'clock in the night,
ordered them to the day coach
upon the complaint of two
white persons in the sleeper
and they stubbornly refused
to 60. and for a time a sensa-
t,onal moment ensued. But
they stood their ground and
stated that If they were NOV
ed to the day coach it must
be by force. as they were in
ter state passengers. and held
both their sleeping car and
train tickets.
1t was learned that the com
planning parties were from
Texas. and one of their kicks
was that they had to take an
upper berth when "Niggers"
had a lower berth. Freeman.

afternoon from Morris Milder, Of
Omaha, by Chief of Police Charles
H. Hennemann, asking II he knew
