Five Jurors

Returning a verdict which
described the killing of John
Lewis, 1859 Washburn ave-.
who was slain by Traffic Po-
liceman Edward Gleason, ON
Memorial Day at 18th and
Wabash ave, as wanton and
wholly unnecessary, a eoro-
ner's jury sitting in the
county morgue Friday, recon-
mended that the police Off

ton on a charge of man
slaughter.
That which transpired Friday
was merely a repetition of the tes-
timony at the first hearing held the
first part of last week. When Glea-
son was asked by Deputy Benja-
min Grant if he had anything fur
Their to say, Gleason stated that he
had nothing to add to the admis-
sions he had already made on Mon
day, which in short was that he
shot and killed Lewis because the
lad would not put his hands in the
air when ordered. This was refuted
by several prominent citizens who
declared that Gleason fired while
the boys hands were in the air.
On Memorial Day, young Lewis
was repairing car for q man by
the name of Theodore Hicks. At

When the car stopped at the gas
station, near one of the pumps,
Gleason is said to have run up and
fired into the windshield. Howard
jumped out and ran away but was
captured later. Then Gleason ran
to the drivers side of he car and
opened the door. "Put your hands

Gleason.
When Howard was caught, he
was jailed but no charge was placed
against him. He was released at the
inquest Monday. No charge was
placed against Lewis, either.

Green fell mortally wounded,
