CITY'S NEGROES
SUPPORT POLICE

Priminent members of Seattle's
Negro community have unheld
the verdict of the coroner's jury
November 20 into the deaths OF
Police Patrolman Fred Hull and
Eugene Moszee, Seattle Negro
service station operator, and
branded as false the accusations
that police are guilty of racial
discrimination.
The two men were killed in a
pistol battle between Moszee and
four policemen at Moszee's service
station, 18th Avenue and East
Madison Street, the night OF No
vember 10.
The verdict held that Moszee
shot Patrolman Hull to death; that
the officers needed no search war
rant because they were attempt
ing to question Moszee regarding
a felonious assault committed by
him" in a tavern few minutes
previous; that Moszee, who had a
criminal record of morals offenses
iyolying children, fired the first
shots and that the killing of him
was justified and in line of (the
policemen's) duty"
Editor Answers Charge
Il. |. Robinson. Negro editor
publisher of the weekly newspaper
Northwest Enterprise, in an edi-
torial November 2S, answered the
lnterracial Action Committees
charge that Seattle police have a
long record of discrimination
against Negroes. Robinson wrote:
I'VE make no brief for the
Seattle Police Department, but
there are thousands of Negro lew
citizens who will refute
that discrimination charge
IN the main the Seattle Police
is freer from discrim-
nation than any city in the United
States
Caution is Chief Asset
In another editorial Robinson
lone of the chief assets of any
police officer is caution and when
those officers threw it out the

openly, after his warning, it prov
ed a dreadful waste.
Just bit of caution would
have left Patrolman Fred Hull to
