TWIDDY WANTS TIME TO
GET MORE WITNESSES
viii Not Be Prosecuted For Shooting
of Negro Boy Until Next
Tuesday, June 6

Police Officer George Twiddy, Pete
Sawyer, Ralph Cuthrell, LinwOod
Cartwright and Horatio Seymour, to
have been tried for the felOniOus shoot
ing of Davis Overton, Jr., in the Re
corder's Court here Tuesday, have had
the case continued until next Tuesday,
June 6, claiming that they could not
get certain important witnesses before
that date. The shooting occurred on
the morning of Sunday, April ,.
It will be remembered that Twiddy
picked up a crowd of men in town be-
fore sunrise of a Sunday morning and
went three miles in the country to run
down a 15-year-old negro boy for whom
he had no warrant. The boy was shot
in the back by Twiddy OF one of his
company. The bullet penetrated the
boys liver and right lung, passing en-
tirely thru the cavity of his torso and
lodging under a rib in his breast. The
boy thus wounded was left to die and
was not discovered until four days la
ter. Following an operation at the
Elizabeth City Hospital by DR.. John
Salba. the boy recovered and was re-
leased from the hospital last week.
The city authorities have not so
much as reprimanded Twiddy for his
repyehcnsible conduct and he remains
on the police force to this day, men
