Despite tho united efforts of the

party responsible for the assault on

Sixth alley, between Eighteenth and

that he had not regained conscious

rifle blow on the back of his head
with some blunt object, supposedly
a piece of iron, fracturing his skull.
The brains of the negro woman were
dashed out by single blow from
the same weapon.
Detectives of the homicide squad
declared they were meeting with a
difficult task in their work of locat-
ing the murderer Of the woman and
the assailant of the white man, due
to the lack of interest being dis
played by the public. Sergt. W. L..
Brannon, speaking for the squad, de-
clared that due to the conditions sur
rounding the murder. the white pop
ulation of the city have virtually as
sumed the attitude of hands off,"
while the negroes in many instances
have expressed their utter indiffer-
ence as to whether the murderer Is
ever brought to Justice. Sergeant
Brannon declared that without the
cooperation of the general public in
the work of detecting and Furnishing
murderers, the efforts Of the squad
will come to naught.
