I % CLARK TELLS STORY OF COURT HOUSE RIOl Police "Tendered" to Their Homes, Not to Him, He Says in Interview ! _ CLAIM RINGER WAS EXCITED — In response to attacks which have been made on him by speakers for the “Committee of 5000” and in lit erature ciiculated by the Sutton can didates, Sheriff Mike Clark yester day made a statement concerning the courthouse riot. Dean Ringe^’a police force, he chaiges, are the men really at fault, for failure to disperse the rioters, j Ringer and Eberstein, on the night of riot, he is informed by his depu ties, were panic stricken. The prisoner, he asserts, for whose possession the mob wrecked the court i house, was not his prisoner at all, but the prisoner of the police. He had been placed in the county jail purely as a matter of courtesy for safe keep ing. "I have no interest in the election,” Sheriff Clark prefaced his statement. Says Patrick Not Truthful “Certain statements made during the campaign, however, are so ridicu lous as to force me to give the facts, in self defense. “In the first place, I understand W. R. Patrick, in his speeches, has said that the negro prisoner the mob want ed was dressed in clothing different from that worn by the other prisoners so that he might be known. "I want to say to Mr. Patrick that he is a liar in his heart, and a liar in his mouth.” I “That prisoner was brought to the J jail by the police, whose prisoner he j i was, for safekeeping. Such prisoners ] are never garbed in prison clothes. They belong to the police and are per mitted to wear the clothes they have j on when they are brought into the | jail. So much for that. Surrounded by 20,000 “It is claimed that I refused to have the prisoner taken away although 1 was urged to do so by Eberstein and ! ; Ringer. “That is absolutely false. “These are the facts: I was out: of town when the prisoner was ad- , mitted to the jail. I did not return: until about 5 p. m. the day of the riot. “Until my return, I did not even know the crime had been committed. I I did not know the man was in jail At the time I was urged to ‘take the man to a place of safety,’ the court-, house was surrounded by 20,000 peo ple. To have taken him out of the building would have lieen to take him to his death,” Referring to a paragraph in a po litical pamphlet distributed by the “Committee of 5,000,” in an article headed "The Riot,” which charges \ that thd sheriff refused to take the | prisoner to a place of safety, and that he was never criticized, although I he had custody of the prisoner and was in command of the courthouse, and although Ringer tendered him to the police force, he branded it as an “absolute lie.” “The grand jury report brought out the fact that Ringer and Eb erstein tendered the police force to their homes instead of to me at that time,” he said. “At least, that’s where they went, after they turned in their guns and their stare.” Concerning the actions of Ringei and Eberstein on the night of th<‘ riot, the sheriff called in two of hi; deputies, Harry McDonald and N. V. I Halter, who were on the roof with S the prisoners,.and asked them to tell! their story in their own words. “.When the riot was at its worst,” | McDonald said, “I was standing on the north side of the roof. Eberstein was standing near. “Chief, what do you think we ought to do with this man?” I asked him. “He waved his arms over his head. “Do as you please with him, I don’t care,’ was all he had to offer. “Just then Ringer came run ning up the back stairs to the roof. “ ‘Come on chief,’ he called, Sve can get down the back stairs and get out. I’ve just been down. “The chief followed him down. "They got part way down, but the way was blocked by the sheriff, who ! was holding back the mob. “Later, when the mob came up, I 'think Eberstein eased by and got out. That was the last I saw of him.” After Police Went Home McDonald corroborated the sheriff’s statement the prisoner was dressed in the clothing, he wore when he entered the jail. “The only suggestion T heard May jor Smith make,” he continued, "was. ‘well, the only thing you can do is to get your men together, draw your guns and fight your way out.’ "That suggestion was made to the sixteen men in the sheriff’s office, after nearly 200 policemen had giver up the fight and gone home. ■ j “It was given in the face of an ulti I niatum delivered by the mob that the II first man who showed himself at the door would be killed.” , World-Herald, Friday, April 29, 1921 I (Advertisement) i REV. .1.
