SHOOT TO KILL is
MAYORS ORDER
LEWISTON POLICE ARE TO

"In proper cases you are in
stlucted to shoot, and shoot TO
kill" says Mayor William Thom-
son of Lewiston in written in
structions issued to Chief of Po-
lice. Eugene Gasser and approx
ed by the council at meeting
held one night this week. The
action of the mayor followed the
appearance Friday night of three
hooded persons at the home OF
Georgia Cross, a negTess, when
threats were given her that she
must change her conduct. The
communication Of the mayor con-
veying the official instructions to
the chief of police follows:
my attention has been called
to an unwarranted raid made
Friday night on the home of a
resident Of this city by band
of hooded individuals. Masked
people trespassing upon private
property or invading the home
of any resident of this city must
be promptly arrested, held and
punished according 10 law. In
case of resistance you are here
by instructed to use whatever
force is necessary to compel ODE
dience to constituted authority.
'"To this end you will assure
yourself that all members of
your force carry arms at all
times and are proficient in their
use. In proper cases you are in
structed to shoot, and shoot to
kill.
"Citizens suspected of crime,

tees, are entitled to a fair trial.
Our government has the sole
right to sit in judgment in all
cases where law is violated,
and no individual OF group of IN
dividuals will be permitted to
usurp or exercise any part OF
this authority. An attempt 70
do so is an infinitely more dam
gerous assault on our liberties
and institutions than any crime
thus sought to be corrected.
"a menace Of this sort should
not be permitted to survive II
this community. To this enc
you will see that all your mel
are supplied with copy OF these
instructions, and have the means
and ability to carry them intt
