MD. JURY AWARDS
CASH FOR KILLING
MOTORIST BY COP

UPPER MARLBORO, Md A
jury composed Of eleven white men
and one Negro awarded 81, 200 to
Mrs Mildred Stevens Of Washing
ton, D. c., on Wednesday for the
shooting to death OF her husband,
Kater Stevens on July %, 1884, at
Bladensburg, Md, by officer Chas.
Flory.
Stevens was arrested by Officer
Flory for a minor traffic violation
as he was driving through Blad-
ensburg. The officer started to
take Stevens to jail in his own car.
It was charged at the time that
Stevens made an attempt to es-
cape, whereupon Flory shot him
three times at close range. Tie
offense was a very minor one and
Maryland law does not permit an
officer to shoot to kill in such cas-
es. Nevertheless, Flory was &C
quilted in May of this year on a
criminal charge. Bladensburg is
notorious for its prejudiced atti-
tude toward colored people and
Negro motorists in particular.
Following the acquittal on the
criminal charge, the attorneys
pressed a suit for civil damages
The case was called very sudden.
ly for Wednesday and after hear
ing three witnesses for Mrs. Stew
ems, the jury brought in the YER

The trial was held before Judge
William L. Loker and Joseph c.
Mattingly. Bedford V. Lawson OF
Washington, D. c., and Thurgood
Marshall of Baltimore, the latter
representing the N. A. A. c. p,
were the attorneys for Mrs. Stew
ems. The other organization as
sisting in the case was a civic fe-
deration.
Both Judges are described as be-
ing eminently fair in both the cri-
minal and civil actions.
