Barber Shot Full
of Holes by Four
Police Officers

Memphis, Tenn, May 19.-Cornered
by four uniformed policemen who
poured nine lead bullets into his body.
Charlie Bolden, Colored barber, SO
East Georgia Avenue, was killed re-
Gently at$Main street and st. Paul
Avenue, after Bolden had fired three
times at S. G. Holland, grocery clerk,
1918 South Parkway, in an effort to
murder the latter For some seconds
it seemed that the policemen, because
of their own numbers, might cause
serious injury to one another, so criss.
cross was the firing. Each policeman
took deliberatate aim at close range,
however, and the leaden missiles found
their mark with accuracy. Bolden, who
operated barber shop at 5S81s Main
st. in the vicinity of the shooting,
stood at bay when he realized he was
trapped and attempted to discharge
his heavy caliber pistol at the officers.

pistols, swooped down and arrested a
dozen white men shooting craps in the

were arrested on a gambling charge,
tried right there by the Negroes, con-

up all he held he went free.
All was well until local police de-
tectives were advised. They arrested
Gus Green, special officer. and Luther

Black Man Appointed Assistant U. S. Attorney Genera
Chambliss. Case
Again Engages the
Attention Of Court

Chicago, May 19.-Renewed efforts
were made last Monday by the state
to prevent the release of Dorsey Cham
bliss, former Chicago Colored police
man, from the penitentiary. Chambliss
was convinced of enticing Bertha Vie
beck, II year old white girl, to re-
sort conducted by Mrs Emma Ross,
a Colored woman, and frenquented by
persons of that race.
Three weeks ago attorneys for
Chambliss applied for his release be-
fore Judge Harry A. Lewis in the
Superior court The application was
in the form of writ of supersedeas
on the grounds that a clerical error
had been made in the mittimus under
which he was sent to the penitentiary.
The mittimus charged Chambliss
with "abducting'' the girl His lawyers
claim it should have read "harboring'
and want him released because of the
error. A writ of habeas corpus was
first asked, but the Supreme court
ruled writ of supersedeas was the
proper procedure. A continuance was
asked by the attorneys for the state
so they might have time to amend
their pleadings.
