screams and ran to the scene.
When the crowd arrived they
found Bell. He was knocked down
and beaaen to death with baseball

Thomas Clark and Albert Harper,
Negroes, said they were with Bell
walking past the Deutsch home
when they heard The girls scream
and saw q man run away. They
ran too but Bell stood his ground.

Bishop John Hursl of the A. M. E.
Church, in a statement few days

Whatever Mr.. Davis, the Demo-

Bishop Hurst continued, "as for the
Republican party, 60 years ago the

now been taken over bodily by the
khan in the North. 1t is openly the
