Mrs. Eldridge’s Statement (continued frcm page 1) a me the same amount of money they had been giving me and I ie fused to accept it, so that was their attitude of forcing me to take it. They came over tc talk to my husband and he told them the same thing I had and that we had gone as far as we intended to go with them on it and they couid Just suit themselves about what they wanted to do. That partic ular afternoon I had been to the electric light company to- pay my flight bill and just as I drove up in front of my house from downtown the light man drove up in front, we both got there about the same time and this woman walked up while vve were talking, this Mrs. Johnson and she didn't say any thing while I was talking to Mr. O’Neill that is the electric light company man’s name, and when he left she says to me what did I intend to do about them in their apartment- I told her that I was through with further discussion a bout it as I had gone as far as I intended to go and it was up to her to do as she wished. As I made a step toward the house she had a sack of groceries in her hand. These she threw at m«, potatoes and what-not, and t’'ose things are still out ih the street, and f said “Mrs. Johnson what is the matter with you?" and she said “I aim to just give you all the trouble that I can". I said— ‘you can’t force a person to do things they can’t afford to do,” I said you have your money, you keep it and find yourself some place to go or do what you want, to do. I am not asking you to move or to pay me but 1 am through with it”. She took off her shoe to' hit at me with. She is a much smaller woman than I am, but is much taller than I am I could keep her from hurting. I got back in the car and by me hav ing the car keys in my hand I was not fast enough to start the motor and drive away until she flew in the car with a brick, beating on the gAss door with it. I have a flower bed in front of the house there and she grabb d one of the brick from there. So I drove a way after I got the car started and went back to where I had left my husband and I had miss ed him. he had just taken a cab home, and I tum?d around and came right back to 2530 Maple Street and as I started to get out of the car to go in the house she came out again and I saw she wanted to fight, and I tried to talk to her and the mone I talked the worse she got and finally she grabbed a brick and threw it at me a”d then is when she ran. Then by the time she started running good he came out and he said, "you give her all you can, I won’t let her hurt you, I won’t let her hit you a lick.” Q. Where did he come from? ( A. From this apartment where they live, right next door, they live east ot me. He came out and told her not. to run because he was there. She did run and I ran right behind her and she ran in side the door and slammed the front door and I was on the out side. In my rush running behind her and she slammed the door quick against me, that threw my weight against the door and that js how I got my hand cut. Then, I left, I said "there is other ways to have a person like you taken care of Mrs. Johnson” and I walk ed away from them and started back toward my own house and before I could get to the steps why the police were there. It seemed to me to be a prearranged affair because I don’t see how the police! could come on the scene because: an this thing together didn’t take over seven minutes. Q. Do you know who called the police ? A. I think they called the pol ice first and told them there was a disturbance and then they Set out to make a disturbance out of It, because it is only 25 feet from that house to the next house, and I turned around and saw the pol ice drive up myself. Q. There were two police ears weren’t there? A. I saw one car at first. Q. Were there one or two mem in It? A. I don’t know, if there were one or two but this heavy set man that was coming toward me, I stopped and waited for him, I wanted to explain what had hap pened. He said “who are you?” and I said “I am the landlady”. He said “what is going on” and I said "I don’t know, the woman just took me by surprise and I couldn’t figure it out unless she is mad because I wouldn’t taka the rent money”. I said “come on in the house and I will explain things to you as far as I know” and he said "no, you can’t go in that house”. I kept telling him “can’t you see I am bleeding to death and I am sick, why don’t you let me in the house” and he kept telling me I couldn’t go in so I just started around the east side of the house, I ran. Q. Do you remember whether that officer that blocked you was a patrolman or a sergeant ? A. No he was a sergeant him self, he is the man that did all this damage to me because I looked at his cap and took hjs number, the number was 5 and it said Sergeant’’ on the cap. I ran into the back door, it wad closed and locked and I couldn’t get in, I ran on back around past him and beat him to the front door and went on inside and when I came in I was still bleeding and he caught me before I could get back to my kitchen and about that time my husband came out of the bathroom—he was undressed and ready for bed, and he asked me what was the trouble and I was trying explain to him and this officer was so mad with because I had ran from him and got in the house, anyway against his will, that he took this left arm of mine and started twisting it and had me down on the floor in agony and the blood is all up on the wall now where I was trying to get him to release this arm and the only way I could release that grfp of pain was for me to bite him on the hand. Q. You were bleeding when you went home? A. Yes sir. Q. What caused that? A. When I was thrown against the door next door, breaking too glass in the door, she didn’t cv.l me. I still kept pleading wit? him to turn me loose and ir.y thumb is out of place now and that is why I had to bit? him to make him to make him release me .... the bruises on my arm, every thing is right there. After I bit him he hauled away with his fist and hit me on the head here cn the eye, so hard until I went blind for a minute. I lost con sciousness of everything for a minute. Q. Which eye was that? A. This one here, the right eye- At that time my husband spoke up and said “Officer what is the trouble" and “why do you treat my wife that way?" and he told him if he didn’t keep still he would hit him too. Then the second offcer came, in this room where we were at and he told him to hold my husband to keep him from coming over where I was at. He still just had his underwear on dressed for bed, he didn’t have anything else on, no shoes or socks or shirt or anything ,and he was trying to plead with him to let me go. After he hit me in the eye like that he still didn’t want me to sit down—there is blood all over there and I was close to a chair but b« wouldn’t let me sit down, and I just gave a jerk and got loose from him and sat down in a chair and he started to hit me there. There are two people that live there in the house with us, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson, they came downstairs and I told Mrs. Nelson to try to use the telephone to call up my mother and he tried to stop her from doing that. Then the other officer said to him “there is no harm in using the phone” “let her use the phone”, so he told him td use the telephone and call the patrol wagon. Q. You mean by that that was Sgt. Graham? A. Yes, “we are going to tak> all of them to jail” he said. He told the other officer to call here for the patrol wagon, they didn’t take anybody but just me and my husband. These people that were the cause of the trouble weren’t even brought down here. I think the blow from him hitting me so hard like that left me a little daz ed because as I started to go out the door when the patrol wagon, came I remember trying to reach and grab for the stairway right by the hall and I remember try ing to reach that, and when they put my husband in first I can re member that, and when they went to help me in' this same Sergeant kicked at me and missed me, and started to strike me with his billy' club and the other offcer caught the billy club to keep him from hitting me in the head, or with whatever that stick is that they carry. We rode down in the pa trol wagon with this officer and the man that drives it and when we came out my husband came out first and as he started through the door to go in where they book you, this Sergeant came in from | the other side, he didn’t come in the same entrance— as he went through the door ne struck him beside the head and almost knock ed him to the floor but he didn’t fall completely to the floor and I said "that is a shame to hit my husband like that" and he grabbed ahold of me and just pulled me in the door and after he had me on the inside he hauled away with his fist and knocked m? flat to the floor. I was still bleeding Just like I am now, I mean just like when he found me, the blood was gushng from me and after ha knocked me to the floor he grab bed me up by both of my feet and held my legs up in the air almost to the height of his body until my clothes were laying over my face and all the nakedness of the rest of my body was in full view of 10 to 15 men that were standing there looking on when we were brought in. Then he proceeded to kick me and shove me around on the floor, laying like I was with my legs in the air, he just turned me around and I have the marks of those bruises on my body, on my thighs and hips and in my side, the last kick I remember him mak ing was in my ribs and every time he made a kick at me he used the constant phrase of a “nigger bitch”, those are the words he said When he finnally let niv legs down I could hardly turn over to get up off of the floor. As best as I could from being in that condition I gave them my name, they took me upstairs, carried me straight to a cell and locked me in there and then in a little while they came in and said the Doctor was out there and wanted to see my arm and I went wth them and the last thing I can remember from then on until ten o’clock at night, is when they put the ban dage on, I fainted just as they got me out of there they said, and I didn’t come to until ten o’clock that night. I have witnesses and testimony to prove that they refus ed to give us any consideration of a bond and after I did get out on bond about eleven thirty pm. I came back down here about eight thirty the next morning and the Prosecuting attorney. .. .that was Thursday morning and my lawy er had this continued from that time until Tuesday, March 24th. I came down to file a complaint a gainst these people by the name of Johnson for this disturbance since they weren’t brought in hPre with me and the prosecuting attorney refused to allow me to talk to him He told me if I opened my mouth to say one word he would have me put back in jail for disturbing the Peace, those are the words he said to me, and my husband grab bed me and pulled me out of the office and this same Sergeant was standing there with his cap on, the same number and everything, but he didn’t have his coat on, and my lawyer was talking to him at the same time. My lawyer is Mr. Donald Krause. Q. Now Mrs. Eldridge how did you know you were talking to the City Prosecutor? A. Mr. A1 Raneri, I know his face when I see him. I seen I couldn’t get any consideration here at all. I left here and went to the cit yhall and went straight to the Police Commissioners Of fice, I had been told Mr. Jepsen was the Police Commissioner and when I arrived Mr. Jepsen or none of his assistants were in, but the Secretary or the office girl made a note of my complaint and toll me she would give it to Mr. J,.p sen as soon as he came in, or nis Secretary who is Mr. Weire, I be lieve that is what the told me. and if I cared to wait I could wait and see what Air. Weir had to say about it. We waited for a few minutes and then Mr. Weir onme in and after showing him th» re port of the case he sent her out to tell us that ’here was nothing he could do about it, the oniy thing he could do was to direct us to the Chief of Police here, so that is as far as we havf gone with it, until last night I called Mr. Ad^ri.i and asked him ,f a thing like that shouldn't b? investigated and the true facts bo -ugli: out about it T am not here for sympathy but J uo think that ju* tice tr scn'eonp cf my own ra n ,n the future be ca.se I don’: pink a human could s‘and there and fee a dog treated li>v tLat. v*. uia you recognize any or t!i.» officers ' A. The only officer I recogniz ed was Mr. Buford when I saw him he was present with these men at the police station where this took place. Just at a glance, like the people sitting here, it looked like between 10 and 12 men standing there- No one uttered a word ar d no one said anything and he con tinued to rse his phrase of “nig ger bitch’’. Th(se people were all standing there while he was kick ing me in the jail and I don’t know | how the captain couldn’t have r heard it from the noise they made. : Most of the men didn’t have caps on. Q. Didn't anyone make any at- | tempt to stop this? A. They did nothing, they ! stood right there. Q. Was your husband present? A. My husband was present, this Mr. Johnson was present. Q. Pardon me, is this Johnson the man that created this trouble out there? A. Yes. Q. My understanding was they didn’t bring him down ? A. They didn’t bring her down Mr Johnson wasn’t in the dis turbance but Mrs. Johnson was. She ran, and they brought him because he was the only one left.. Q. Have you been to a doctor? A. Yes I have. Q. What doctor? A. Doctor Thompson ,he i3 in the Union Pacific Doctor ,and I went up to the dispensary and had him examine me there in the Union Pacific building at 15th and Dodge. Q. Did you relate any of the facts to him? A. Yes, just as I am telling it to you I related it to him. Q. To Dr. Thompson person ally or someone else? A. No, Dr. Thompson himself, he took down in his report how I was injured and all and I do be lieve I should have an ex-ray tak en of where he kicked me in the ribs because when I breathe I have a heavy catch there and this is the second day and I am getting ; sorer and sorer. Q. Have you had a doctor look at your eye? A. No, but I think I should, have because it is getting so I can not keep it open. Q. The time you spoke of in the bull pen, where they were j booking you, did you give any pro- ] vocation for officer Graham to' treat you this way? A. No, the only words utterej were “why do you treat my hus- ; band that way.” Q. Did you bite him or strike him? A. No sir. Q. Did you curse or swear at him ? A. No that is all I said to him because he hit my husband before he got in and he almost went to the floor and I said “why must you hit my husband like that”— that is the only words I said. Q. Did you hear any comment from any of the Officers present? A. I didn’t hear a word spoken j other than the pharse this officer kept repeating. Q. Did you hear any convers ation by any officer concerning this? A. No, they carried me straignt to a cell when they brought me upstairs. When they came to get me to take me back to the Doctor to dress my arm I remember the! Doctor saying I wa3 in a pretty j critical condition. Q. Do you know the doctor’s name? A. The police doctor that treat ed me. Q. This must have been ar ound about between three and three thirty in the afternoon. Q. Did you ask anybody after you were taken upstairs, did you ask anybody to use the phone or get out on bond.? A. Well when I came to the second time, w'hen they put me up there first I was by myself and when I came to around ten o’clock I was in the cell with this Indian girl and she had a watch on, that is how I know what time it was, and she had a wash cloth that she had been bathing my face with and she said the Matron had given it to her and I asked her what time it was and she said it was ten o’ clock, pretty close to ten o’clock, because she had to go to the light to see. and then it wasn’t so long after that the Matron came ar ound and I started to get up and I guess I must have gone back out again and I said “can you bring me something’’ and she brought me Spirits of Ammonia on a cloth and I put that to my nose but still I wasn’t able to get up. She went away and left me and I know she must have been gone about an hour or so maybe 45 minutesj I will say, because before she left I asked her was there anyway I could ^get to the telephone or have somebody us? the phone for me and she said I would have to get the information from the jailer and he would be along to make his rounds before long and you talk to him. So around eleven o’ clock he came in and asked how wp were getting along and I asked him if I might use the telephone and he said yes, if I wouldn’t faint on my way anymore because if I fainted he said there was no one up here to help him put me back and I told him I thought I would be alright if he would just hold me and if I started to fail he catch me. Anyway he led me to the tel ephone and I was allowed to use the phone and 1 called this lawyer Mr. Krause, he got in touch wit'n Mr. Cor»ett, who is the bondsman, and I had to go back to the cel]. I hadn’t been back in the cell not more than 10 or 15 minutes before another man camp, but he wasn’t the same fellow, and I asked him if I could go back to use the tele phone again, and he siad he would have to find out if I was allowed to use the phone. I never sa.v turn anymore. I would say about 20 minutes after eleven that some one came up from downstairs and unlocked the door and said that I could go home and he told mfl that Mr. Cornett ha sent some one to make bail for the both of us and we went downstairs and this Mr. Nelson took us home, the man that had come with the bond money. That is all I can say now only I want to say this about those People that have been the cause of this trouble. Somewhere on the Police record here, it should be here, ^.hat each and every place they nave lived they had to be e victed, or asked to move an I have two or three of those addresses. Q. Have you ever been in trou ble before? A. I haven’t. Q. Have you ever been arrest ed before? A. I have been arrested before but I haven't been in any trouble. Q. What were you arrested for A. Oh here last fall it was, I bought a sink from a man and I didn’t know it was stolen and they arrested me for receiving stolen property. That is how I knew Mr. Raneri. Q. Now Mrs. Eldridge is there anything more you want to add to this statement? A Well I don’t at the present time, I don’t think of anything else I can say, I have told you the facts as they really are. I have not overdone it or spared myself. It is only natural that if a person should attack you you should pro tect yourself. I never hit her and she never hurt me, these two lit tle scratches don’t amount to any thing. RUBY L. ELDRIDGE Witness: Fred L. Shearer, Norman O.
