Whereupon, he followed his father
out Of the cafe. Editor Anderson
remained inside.
On the outside the two men be-
gan extending invitations to Editor
Anderson to come out and for about
Is or 20 minutes issued numerous
threats and made abusive and pro-
fame remarks.
A number Of persons were pre-
sent and appeared to be rather
alarmed. Finally some one took
the Jacksons home and shortly af-
forwards Patrolman Thomas ar
rived. Gilbert returned to search
for lost pocketbook which he said
contained 500.
Editor Anderson went to the West
Jefferson hotel where he lives and
a little later the Patrolman arrested
the group when they went back to
the cafe, apparently in search of the
lost money.

derson was believed to have been
aroused by news story which was
published last fall about Mr.. jack
sons being convicted in the may
or's court here on a charge of driv-
ing car while under the influence
of intoxicants.
AS drunk driving is responsible
for large percentage of auto acct
dents and deaths and to cooperate
with the officers and court in help
ing to reduce this toll, The Post has
a policy of publishing the names
of those convicted of such charges,
This policy is also followed by prac-
tically all papers in the country.
Editor Anderson has nothing what
ever against the Jacksons; didn't
have anything whatever to do. with
the initial case and deeply regrets
the attitude as shown toward him.
Mr.. Jackson has been public-spir-
tied citizen and a liberal contributor
