Bladensburg Police Pvt. Clifton

incident, said that several of the

fled after the burning. He said
he discovered the cross not more
than 10 minutes after it had been
lit and kicked it over and quenched
it with water. The policeman said
he was unable to radio a lookout
because his squad car had broken
down and he was using his own
car for patrol.
Pvt. BARLEY, who stood guard

lieved the cross was burned to
discourage Negroes from voting in
the next days primaries. He said
further police investigation was
thought inadvisable after the pri-

of the union, Division 1865, Anal
gamated Association of Street
Electric and Motor Coach
