Negroes to beware of "crackpots

linked with the failure Of the Uint-

Lacerates@ Another Soldier
1t is reliably reported that only
a few minutes previous to the I'M
merciful killing Of Sgt. Foster,
Policeman Hay had attacked an
cher soldier, who was identified
as Pvt. Albert Glover, member of
Company D. 92nd Engineers, who
had been ordered out of town by
Military Police for being intoxi-
Gated. According to release in
the papers, Glover admits being
drunk, and further admits that he
didn't remember very well what
happened, but eye witnesses STATE
clearly that Glover was hit by the
civilian police, and that Sgt. Fost-
er inquired of the MP's why they
gave the privilege of interfering
to civilian pol ce, when they were
there to take care of the boys.
The inquiry increased contempt for
the sold ers in the eyes Of the civil
ian policeman, and he was heard
to ask Sgt. Foster, WHAT you got
to do with it?' Foster being a
sergeant, explained his interest in
the case, and from what took
place, evidently, it was displeas-
ing to the officer, because the kill
ing was the results.
