Elderly Negro
Beaten in New
Jersey
BY Henri FOnville
For GIObal News Service

Jersey City, N. J. - Witnessed
on May Day at 244 Bay Street,
near New ark Avenue in the late
afternoon, what was probably the
worst beating I ever saw in my
life when the burly white car
washer who tends the private car
of Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey
City, set upon an elderly Negro
who had been drinking and beat
him into Inconsistencies for drop
ping and breaking liquor bottle
in front of a white woman waiting
for a bus at Newark Avenue and
Erie Street. Two Jersey City POI
licemen stood idly by watching this
bestial attack, probably intending
to protect the younger husky car
washer should the elderly man at
tempt to fight back. But the aged
Negro, who 1 learned was a. family
man and resident of the neighbor-
hood, known to be entirely harm
less when drinking, made no eff
fort to fight back. One of the
policemen wore the badge number
1119. I was unable to get the
number of the other.
When the elderly man dropped
and broke the bottle Mayor Hag-
ues car washer rushed from Bay
Street, where he was washing the
Mayors car; grabbed the frail eld-
erly man by the back of his coat
collar and hustled him around the
corner into the Abandoned First
Precinct Police Station at 244 Bay
Street. Taking a key from his
pocket, he locked the heavy glass
topped doors and proceeded to
beat and kick the elderly Negro in
to insensibility. His attack was so
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1947-05-24

ferocious that it elected angry pro-
tests and threats from a gallery
of white men and women, who
were grouped before the doors.
When the two policemen came, the
car washer paused in his sadistic
orgy of beating the nearly insen-
sible man to admit them. Taking
up where he left off, he continued
his beating until the bleeding and
battered old man was unconscious.
Then the cops revived him by
throwing a pail of water over him,
called the wagon and after throw
ing the elderly bleeding and lac
Grated Negro into it like a bag po-
tatoes, drove off to the station,
Mayor Hague's car washer, unar-
rested, remained to finish washing
his bosses car.
Although I inquired as to the
name and address of both the car
washer and the elderly Negro,
ran into a stonewall of silence on
every hand. Nobody knew any
thing, except that the elderly Ne
gro was a brick mason, who had
a wife and several children and
had recently lived at 235 First
Street, one block from the brutal
beating.
Even though he was arrested
and possibly booked no Jersey City
or Newark papers carried anq-
thing about the Incident.

Charity suffereth long, and is kind;

should not use it in formal speech or
serious writing. But it can be very
effective on certain occasions. Many,
of our most useful and descriptive
words were once condemned as

opening lead: King OF hearts.
It Is q bit Of o paradox that occa-
sionally the n1bst effective manner
Of getting the truth across to your
partner. Is by means of q falsehood.
South's opening bid Of one club
and North's response of one spade
are standard. It is with South,s
rebid that we are at the moment
principally concerned. If technical
correctness is being sought, what is
the proper bid? Actually, to my
way Of thinking. there Is no correct
bid. One OF the first to suggest
itself. Is the call of three spades,
but there are several objections to
1t. Firstly, one should avoid, II pos
sible, making jump raise In q suit
which has not been rebid, holding
less than four trumps. That, how
ever, is only q minor objection, be-
cause this rule Is sometimes vio-
lated for the sake Of convenience.
The real objection is that partner
might. with certain holdings, refuse
to carry on. This would. be his pre-
rogative if he happened to have
made shaded takeout consisting of
something like five spades to the
queen and side king. Even with
that holding, as South would be
unwilling to play the hand for less
than game. A jump rebid of three
clubs is open to the same objection.
The only rebid that guarantees
opener another chance, is q jump
In new suit. Which leads us to
the white lie, South's bid of three
diamonds, forcing the partnership
to game contract.
When North heard the game force,
he prepared for big doings. South
had promised game, tho North
might have no more than one trick.
The excess made a little slam vir-
tual certainty, with plenty of time to
investigate for the big bonus. North
merely rebid the spades and South
raised to four. This was as far as
| 1t was permissible for South to go
inasmuch as he had previously an
nounced hand of game going pro-
| portions.
NortnS showing or the ace OF
hearts was routine, whereupon
South leaped to small slam, know
ing that partner had rebiddable
spade suit and the heart control.
This latter bid am inclined to view
as rather overaggressiye, in view of
South's previous demonstration of
vigor. OF course, his call left North
! in no doubt as to the proper pro-
cedure. It now became a certainty
that South held two spade honors
and that was all that North was
really concerned about.
| South's bidding incidentally,
marks him with a maximum of one
heart. This is not only conventional
but logical. He holds presumably
five clubs, four diamonds, and at
least three spades. In that way the
lie about the diamonds, Is an effec-
tive way Of telling the truth about
the singleton heart. as well as the
enormity of the hand.
