NEAR RIOT PRECIPITATED

Driver Of Car Roughly Hand
led After Killing Of Negro
Men by Virginia Police.

Newport News, Va. Nov. 18.-An
infuriated mob consisting of more
than 800 Negroes severely beat and
attempted to lynch Isadore Cohen,
(white) and probably would have
succeeded had It not been for the
courage and bravery displayed by
Rev. B. II. Green. CoIored minister,
who rescued the white man.
City officials Of Newport News is
sued a statement following the dis
order in which the attempt was made
to minimize the entire occurrence, but
II is alleged the same was diplo-
matte move to avoid further trouble.
The statement claimed that Cohen
was badly excited. while they charge
that Green misstated the facts in or
der to further private political am
The trouble started when Ledonia
DoclSery, a 9-year-old Colored girl
was struck by Cohens automobile.
The accident happened In the Color
dertaling establishment, where lay
the bodies of the three Negroes shot
and killed here in q clash with the
police. Hundreds of people had been
and as a consequence, Cohen's car
was Immediately surrounded by the
already infuriated men when the ma
chine struck the girl. While attemp-
ting to get the child into his car in
order to take her to a hospital Cohen
was surrounded and blows rained
upon him. Crys OF BEAT him to
death" were heard. Rev. Green. a
prominent minister here. for more
than two hours before the accident
had been urging a crowd of men to
calm themselves and forget the kill
ing of the three Negroes by the po-
lice.
When Cohen was attacked. Green
managed to crawl over the shoulders
OF the mob and fought off the crowd
while Cohen got his car under way
and escaped from the scene Thus
far no arrests have been made but
the situation is described there as
being serious.
The girl is in a hospital with a
fracture of the skull at the base of
the brain, and hospital officials say
that she cannot recover. Some appre-
hension is felt that should she die
a riot may be precipitated. Cohen Is
a prisoner in the city Jail, being held
bail pending the outcome of
the girls injury.
III feeling has existed on the part
Of Negroes ever since the three men
were killed in a battle with local
police officers.

Kindness was held up as cure

The newest development In the
Humane work Is the action Of the
Presbyterian Church. U. s. A., and
the Episcopal church in adopting
Humane Education as q part of their

Miss Edna Ellis. Is years old, a
stenographer employed by the Bell
Telephone Company. was murdered
with a razor sometime Thursday
night in lot at 2913 North Market
street, where her body was found
next morning.
"The murder was committed q
!! block from the girls home at 1885
North Garrison avenue, where she
lived with her mother, Mrs. Marie
Ellis. She had worked until
o'clock Thursday night and got off
street car a block from where her
body was found.
Police investigating the crime are
proceeding on the theory that an
insane Negro committed the crime.
The young woman's throat had been
slashed two times and each hand
cut to the bone. Her gloves were
cut to ribbons, indicating she had
grappled with the man welding the
razor.
Police also connect the crime with
the mysterious slashing, of horse
with a razor in stable four blocks
from the scene of the crime at $3.50
o'clock Thursday night. This and the
fact that five boys saw Negro
leave the lot convinced the police
that a Negro committed the crime"

prompted the murder and that he
had intended to take his life, but
was prevented from doing so when
the razor snapped as he slashed the
throat of his victim for the third
time.
'He made no attempt to lessen the
magnitude of his crime, and admitted
that he had deliberately planned the
murder of Miss Ellis after he be-
came convinced that there was no
possibility of their marriage.
''The news of the confession spread
throughout the city in an Incredibly
short time, and a crowd of 1000 was
assembled outside the Dayton Street
Police Station, where the slayer is
being held. A Gordon of police was
thrown around the station to pre-
vent any violence by the crowd
There were few threats OF vio-
lence. although there were many in
quiries about the removal of Ellis
from the station to headquarters
