ton, Held on Charges of
Shooting Store RObber
TWO SUSPECTS HELD

State police Tuesday afternoon
placed a technical charge of as
sault and battery against Con-
stable ]. Elmer Hazel of near Clay
ton as an outgrowth of the shoot
ing of Elmer Ross, colored, II, of
Clayton, after the A. Sevil & Son
Store at Clayton was broken into
early Tuesday morning. Hazel, a
New Castle County constable and
also night watchman at Clayton,
was held in $500 bail for further
hearing by Magistrate Edwin w.
Hutchison of Smyrna. The watch
man, frightening the youth from
the scene of the robbery by his
sudden arrival, at 2 a. m. Tuesday,
called warnings for him and his
companions to halt When they
refused, it is alleged that Hazel
fired shot from his gun, hitting
Ross in the back. The boy was
taken to the Kent General Hos
pital in Dover, where he underwent
an operation for the removal of a
bullet. It is alleged that Ross con-
fessed to a similar robbery of the
same store on the night of Novem-
Der 9Th. julie Ross was arrested
later in connection with the case,
while another boy is being held for
questioning. The stolen articles
were recovered.

The game itself really brought
out more football than one could
expect for the condition of the field.
Both teams showed that their
coaches, Dwight Reed of the Halle
boys, and John Thomas of the
Wheatleys, had worked hard to
have their charges in tip top shape.
The Halle Q. lads were the first
to score when rip-roaring Bob
Gardner dashed off tackle for Is
yards and six points. Bruising Bob
plunged across the goal line with
several Wheatley men on his back,
for the extra point.
Wheatley Scores on Pass
The Wheatley boys scored their
six points on a beautiful bunker
pass" from Fullback Ray Johnson
to End Bob Wallace. The CONVEX
sion from placement attempted by
Johnson failed. The Wheatley men
showed a strong hard running full
back in Ray Johnson. He was the
spearhead of most of his teams
offensive plays. Bob Wallace
showed that he is just as skillful
at sharing passes as he was in
South High School. His touch
down snare was a "beaut." It's
hard to pick any special man on
the Wheatley line for stardom. Led
by Captain Tyler Howell, all of the
line functions as one. For the
Halle Q. Brown boys, we believe
Bouncing Bob Gardner looked best
in the backfeld, he was a thorn in
his opponents side all afternoon.
Close on his heels came good old
reliable Dan Taylor. Taylor's run
back of punts plus his end scamp

Waller was condemned to death
by an all-white jury in Chatham,
Virginia, last month, when he was
found guilty of first degree murder
in the shooting of Oscar Davis, his
white employer.
The dispute between Waller and
his employer, which led up to the
shooting, began last summer when
the white man refused to pay his
tenant for work done on a tobacco
crop. Waller then left town and
on his return found that his wife
and 65-year-old mother-had been
evicted from their home by Davis
who had also confscated the fam
ily's share of the wheat crop. An
argument with Davis which re-
suited when Waller demanded an
explanation eliminated in tn e
shooting.
David Clendenin, national secre-
tary of the Workers Defense
League, announced this week that
the death verdict will be appealed
ION evidence of prejudice in the
conduct of the trial and selection
of the jury" Clendenin pointed
out that the Virginia poll tax sys-
tenn bars colored people and poor
whites from jury service as eff
fectively as from the right to vote.
Members of the jury, he said, in
cluded ten landlords, a carpenter
and a businessman.
Mr.. Clendenin will discuss "The
Case of Odell Waller" at an open
meeting of interested citizens at
500 p. m. on Friday, December 6,
at Halle @. Brown Community
House. He will give a detailed his
tory of the case and outline the
necessary legal procedure. The
public is invited to attend.
The meeting is being sponsored
by the Legal Redress Committees
of the Twin City NAACP branches
and the Workers Defense League.
