8 IN SOLOMON
SLAY|NGH HELD

Three colored youths who were
alleged to have shot and killed
Mamie Solomon, 29-year-old taxi
driver, in a hold-up attempt two
weeks ago. were held for the
Grand Jury at a coroner's inquest
today.
The youths are william c.
Robinson, Charles Edward Wash
ington and Leonard A. Layton.
It was alleged that they were
passengers in Solomon's cab and
had him drive them to Four-and-
a-haf Street Southwest, where
they tried to hold him up. Disre-
garding a gun thrust, Solomon
started his cab and was shot
through the neck. The cab with
his dead body slumped over the
wheel crashed into a tree.
The youths were out the 50
cents they had paid him for the
ride and took nothing from him.
Detective Sergt. John Flaherty,
the chief witness at the inquest,
said that both Robinson and
Washington had confessed the
crime to him, but that Washing
ton denied he had a gun. None
OF the accused took the stand.
A fourth colored youth named
Brown, who had been with the
trio earlier ia the evening and
whom they called yellow" for
not accompanying them in their
hold-aap plans, is held by police
IN connection with another hold.
