~ VO4NA AAAAN " UNIV AIGEIs
If the offense does not merit the

The above terse commnet on the

tne' movement for the adjustment

The New York Sun expresses the

Reinforced by such arguments as
these and they can be added to by
hundreds from Americas most con-

forward thinking people who long
have sickened Of the savagery OF
legal murder may well take heart.
They Nmay present again their
statistics showing that in Michigan

capital crimes are no more rampant
than in those States where legalized
human butchery still is encouraged,

said DR.. Dozier. when he threatened
to arrest them, the one who was iron
ing ran into the house. He followed
her and Immediately he got inside the
door he fired"
Shot At Head
HE shot directly at her, head" he
declared, land even if they had been
resisting arrest and somewhat abusive,
as he claims, he could have placed them
under arrest without making an effort
to kill the woman"
All were strong in their praise of
the demeanor of the two women and
several declared their intention of tax:
irs the matter into the courts.
o. C.. Brown, who lives upstairs at
2106 Humboldt, was virtually an eye
witness of the affair. When he heard
the first shot he ran downstairs and
saw the officer and the woman tussling
after she had been wounded.
She had hold of the muzzle of his
gun. and he was holding it at the butt
tried to make her release the weapon
and finally had to wrest if from both.
Phillips told me soon afterward that
he didn't want to shoot the women.
Later, when 1 asked him just how
many shots he fired. he said 4 don t
want to talk about it. But l will say
that didn't fire a single shot"
In Phillips report at police headquar-
tiers he is said to have declared that
shooting the women was absolutely nee
essary. He claims that both had been
drinking and were acting in highly
disorderly fashion. When he went into
the yard to put a stop to the commo-
ton, he claims, both started to abuse
him.
Women Abusive
He says he threatened to call head
quarters, as he was off duty, and have
them taken to Jail. The Pitts woman,
he says, Immediately started flinging
abusive epithets and crying: well,
why don't you do something to stop
it, if you're an officer"
He then tried to arrest them, he con.
tinues. for disorderly conduct. They
started graphing with him and he was
unable to combat both, he claims. An
attempt to grasp his billy" and use
it failed, and he shot the Pitts woman
when she failed to prevent him from
drawing his gun. The Tate woman, he
asserts, was shot when trying to wrest
the gun from his hands.
Police Friday evening said that the
Tate woman came to headquarters aft.
er having had her wound dressed and
made a statement.
The statement, as police state it, says
that she was shot while graphing with
the officer for the gun. She is said tC
have declared that they fought off the
officer when he told them they were
under arrest because they didn't fee
that they deserved to be arrested anC
refused to go with him."
The women were taken to Hillmar
hospital after the shooting. Annie Lee
Pittss' condition Friday evening wal
declared critical by attendants. Tit
other woman left the hospital after hav
ing her wounds dressed.
