charged with homicide in the
death Of Harry Timer, 80, white,
was held without bail for coroner's
action.
At the same time nine other
persons, including Martin Ulmer,
20, a brother of the victim, were
held IN $500 bail each as material
Witnesses. Ulmer's skull was
crushed by a blow of a baseball
bat.
Detective Thomas Powers, in
his testimony, disclosed that the
street fight in which Timer was
killed was the second melee in
volving the Timers and a group
of companions within an hour.
The early fracas, according to
Powers, involved the Timers and
two companions and was touched
off when a resident of the 22OO
block of North Hope Street OBJ
Jected to the conduct of one of the
men as they passed through the
street. Out-numbered, the four
fled, but returned short time
later with reinforcements, Powers
said.
Bricks, milk bottles and any
weapon at hand filled the air as
householders rushed from their
homes to meet them, Powers said.
Lockhart, armed with a baseball
bat, was failing away when the
heavy bludgeon flew from his
hands, Powers said.
1t was possible, police said, that
the bat struck Timer while it was
flying through the air. Powers
said that detectives found no one
who actually say Lockhart strike
the fatal blow.
Timer was taken to Episcopal
Hospital in a police red car, but
was dead on arrival. Meanwhile,
police reserves were rounding up

ers in the section. For the rest
of the night police allowed only
residents of the area to enter the
section. fs9z

Negro Group Primed For Opening OF
Community Chest Drive Monday
Prominent Men and Women Leaders
Among Workers; Seek to Double Quot

Under the direction of Rev. A
l.. Rice, pastor of Mt. Helm Bap-
list Church, the Negro group with
organization work completed in two
meetings early this week, was
primed for the apening of the
Community Chest drive starting
Monday October 14th. The cam
paign ends on Friday October 10Th
Churches, schools, colleges, Greek
LETTER Socities, Lodges and other
organizations have been called up
on to unite to make the 1947 drive
the greatest in the history of the
city.
Perhaps the greatest stimulus to
the drive comes from the fact that
last year Community Chest sup
port was granted to five Negro
agencies, the Boy SCOTS, Girl
Scouts, YMCA, and family service.
Operating for a little less than a
year, the value Of these agencies
in their demonstrated, although all
have been operating on a limited
budget. In order to increase the
budgets and therefore broaden the
services of these agencies it is
everywhere realized that larger
support must be given the Com
munity Chest.
With the need for increasing the
services of the five agencies now
and in the future everywhere is
apparent, the spirit and sentiment
of the group is to make every
effort to double it's allotted quota
of $4,500.00.
Included among the workers are
some OF the most outstanding men
and women leaders of the city
Active also in the campaign will
be Lille Bell Walker, YMCA Sec
rotary; Ear Barker, YMVA Sec
rotary; Ben 2. Newman, Secretary
of the Jackson Negro Chamber OF
