Name Ceiling Results In
Shooting OF Two


Shooting OF Two
Police are holding one st. Paul
man who admitted shooting two
brothers and their father, who he
said tainted him and called him
names.
Officers Ray Beck, Vernon
Michel and Roger Conway arrived
at 1872 State where they found
William Amos, 40, who admitted
he had shot several times.
The three injured men were:
Robert Cruz, %, 203 z. Indiana,
who was shot in the side; Joseph
Cruz, %, Of 923 e. Magnolia, who
was shot in the hand and back;
and their father, Francisco, 70, Of
100 Eva, who was wounded in the
right forearm. None Of the injuries
proved to be serious.
Amos stated that this incident
actually began at the Carioca
Bar, 124 State. The Cruz brothers
were haunting him he claimed and
were encouraged by their father.
1t is now believed that there was
another man who participated in
the agitation.
Police are stil attempting to
get the facts Of the melee in prop
er sequence and determine whether
one of the Cruz brothers was
armed and did some shooting as
well.

They were apprehended under q

jury decide what type Of action 10

new weapon the city has devised
to help maintain its complex Gus
toms of segregation. Before this,
the city had passed a series Of
statutes outlawing a number Of
specific types Of race mixing-for
instance, the playing Of checkers
or dominoes by Negroes and whites
but revoked them this year in
the fear that they would be found
unconstitutional by higher courts.
It is felt that the new statute on
action Calculated to disturb the
peace can cover such threats to the
safety of the city as interracial
domino games, and at the same
time have better chance Of
standing up II challenged consti.

back the threatening tide. The
segregationist may now sleep cas-

who sits down to have a ham
sandwich with a Negro can be
arrested and sent to jail for dis
turbing the peace. But isn't there
any reason for alarm, even for
the white segregationist, as he
sees the walls between the races
rise higher? Montgomery is a city
of 10000 whites and $4,000 Ne
