BRUTE ASSAULTS PITTER GIRLS
Seattle Star Employe Assaults Two
Colored Girls In Rhodes Department
Store. Both Firms Take Quick,
Decisive Action

While ascending to the fifth
floor of the Rhodes Department
store Saturday, June 7th., Miss
Maxine Pitter, accompanied by her
sister Constance, noticed a young
white man staring at them in a
manner that attracted their at
tention. AS the elevator stopped,
he viciously showed Miss Maxine
into the side of the door with the
words, "get out of my way, mig
ger" struck her across the face
with some tightly rolled papers,
and threatened to knock her teeth
down her throat. The young ladies
protested to Mr.. Hylan, the mana
ger of the store, who upon invest
igation discovered that the mans
name was I. Bradley Thurmond, an
employee of the Star publishing
company.
Miss Pitter, accompanied by her
father, Edward Pitter, on the fol-
lowing Monday filed an assault
complaint with the Prosecuting
attorney and Thurmond was ar
rested and released on bail. The
case is scheduled for hearing in
Justice Guy B. Knott's court July
18th. After his arrest and release,
Thurmond appeared at the Pitter
home and offered to apologize,
stating that he had mistaken her
for some one else and that he was
from a good family. Miss Pitter
informed him that one would nev-
er think so from his conduct.
Neither of the Misses Pitter to
their knowledge had ever seen
Thurmond before, and having done
nothing to provoke his anger, re-
fused to accept his apology and
will prosecute the case.

ager and as she was telling us this
fellow came out of the offices
which he had entered, looked
around until he saw us and came
back to us and again spit on the
floor in front of us. We immedi-
ately went to Mr.. Hylan (of
Rhodes and he was very indignant.
My sister had seen the man speak
to one of the elevator girls so Mr..
Hylan found her and discovered
that his name was /. Bradley
Thurmond. Mr. Hylan told us that
if he is working for their depart
ment store that he would be fired
on the spot but he would find
what newspaper he worked for and
recommend that he be fired and
not step his foot inside Rhodes
again. He also advised me to take
legal action.
This all happened late on Sat
urday afternoon and on Monday
Mr.. Hylan called me and told me
that Mr.. Thurmond worked for
the Star Publishing Company in
the advertising department and
that he had been fired. My father
and 1 went down to the prosecut-
ing attorneys office and filed
complaint against Mr.. Thurmond.
We had just returned home
when Mr.. Thurmond himself came
to my door to beg pardon for what
had happened and asking me to
sign a statement so that he could
go back into Rhodes department
sore or he couldn't work. I fatty
refused to do this, saying that the
matter was in the prosecutors
hands and it would remain there.
To explain why he had attacked
me as he had, he said that he
thought I was the same person
who had thrown a beer bottle at
him in a tavern two days before
and caused him to lose one hun
dred dollars worth of business. He
asked me, actually begged that
be nice to him because losing his
| job would wreck his whole adver-
Using career and that he would in
turn do something nice for me.
told him that there wasn't a thing
in the world he could do for me.
/ waited for some word from the
Prosecuting Attorneys office and
when received none after a week,
1 returned and found that he (Mr.
Thurmond) had not been brought
in yet. I insisted upon signing the
warrant for his arrest at that time
/ because I could see that the Pro-
secutor, Mr.. Burns, was not push
ing the matter and that by telling
me to return when they picked
him up was putting it off until
they thought that it would be
dropped. Mr.. Thurmond was SUBJ
sequently brought in after being
picked up at his fathers real
estate office (Mr. o. E. Thur
mond) and is now out.
The hearing comes up the fiji
