victim to Hoover's prosperity" and
white ruling class race prejudice,
Waverly Burns, "a years old, un-
employed Negro worker, last Sat-
urday afternoon climbed to the
roof Of sol w. 151st street, where
he roomed, and jumped five stories
to his death.
Burns had been respondent, hav-
ing been out of a job and sick for
months. That very afternoon he
had been refused admission to the
Harlem Hospital and this proved
the final straw, and not being made
of stern enough stuff to fight the
capitalist system or perhaps lacking
correct guidance he returned home
bent on ending it all.
At the Harlem Hospital every
effort is being made by the authori-
ties to cover up the fact that this
Negro worker was refused admis-
sion. DR.. R. Rapp, superintendent
at the Harlem Hospital, cynically
denied that Burns had ever applied
for admission and gave out fairy
tale that IAN unidentified Negro
came to the institution seeking ad-
but refused Gin any
way to be cooperative"

OFFICER

DIE
NEW ORLEANS POLICEMAN
SENTENCED TO DEATH
Said to be First Such Sentence Of
White Man for Killing Negro

New York, April What is
said to be the first verdict carrying
with it the penalty of death on the
gallows, against a white man for
killing a Negro, has been returned
by a New Orleans jury against
Charles Guerand, former emergency
policeman who shot and killed Hat
tie McCray, fourteen-year-old col
ored girl who resisted his advances.
Chandler C. Gutenberg, ST., was
employed by the New Orleans
branch of the N. A. A. C. P, of
which DR.. George W. Lucas is pres
ident, to assist the district attorney
in prosecuting the police officer,
and DR.. Lucas reports:
"Mr. Gutenberg, assisting the
prosecution was employed by the
New Orleans branch Of the N. A.
A. C. p. and the public sentiment
was created by our fight. We re-
gard it as a signal victory, yet, it
is not all over. We intend to go
to the court of last resort if neces-
sary to hold our victory"
The New Orleans Times-Picayune,
reporting on the outcome of the
trial, states that the verdict, brought
in after forty-five minutes deliber..
alton, twas received with stunned
silence by the crowded court room"
and later says:
veteran jurists and attorneys
declared Guerand's case was the
first in their memory of New Or
leans criminal history where a
white man had been sentenced to
die for the Staying of Negro.
Several verdicts stipulating guilty
without capital punishment have
been returned, but never the death
penalty, they said"
Witnesses at the trial testified to
previous advances made by the pc.
lice officer against the girl, and
also riddled his contention that the
girl had attacked him with bread
knife in resisting his advances.
