He remembered seeing two negroes
in the place, who left when he did
and were behind him when he went
down Twenty-first street toward
the yards. In a secluded place
there, he later told the police, the
two negroes seized him and when
he started to fight hit him with
some sort of weapon. When he
came to, he was lying in the spot
where he had been attacked. Blood
was streaming down his face, and
his pockets were empty. Officer

station where Dr. Joseph DeSilva
was called to dress the wound. The
