NEGRO SCRIvENER SHOT
EXPIRES MYSTERIOUSLY
George Dent Was Figure in Race
Riots in July, 1919-Sur-
vived Six Wounds.

George Dent, colored, 40 years old,
who was riddIed with bullets by the
late Detective Arthur 3. Scrivener
during the race riots here in July,
1919, and who survived to defeat a
case of assault in which he was de-
PENDANT, as a result of that fight, died
early today at Emergency Hospital
from an undetermined cause after a
brief illness which affected him yes
terday.
Friends and relatives of Dent, at
his home, 1101 Nineteenth street, be-
lieve that the six wounds he sustained
on the rear of a street car at Seventh
and G streets, when Scrivener clam
bered over the rear platform and
fired point blank into him, were the
real cause of his death. An autopsy
is being conducted by DIR. Lester New
man at Emergency Hospital today to
attempt to ascertain the cause of
death.
The brother and sister of Dent de-
clare that he had never been failing"
before the time of the shooting in
1919. whereas since that time he had
periodically suffered from sick spells.
Dent has been a figure in the third
precinct ever since the race riot days.
His left cheek bore a large scar from
one bullet wound. 1t was expected at
the time of the shooting that he could
not survive the effects of the wounds,
which penetrated his upper body and
abdomen as we'll as his legs and head,
but some two months after the riots
he had recovered sufficiently to be ar
raigned in court and to defeat the
charge of assault lodged against him.
