ELDRIDGE CASE (continued from page 1) neither can successfully be invad ed by a public servant wearing a policeman’s uniform.

All the facts in the case will be I presented to the Mass meeting to night and everyone who can should attend and learn the story which he has not already heard.

It's a fact that the average house hold rate for electric service is only about half of what it was 15 years ago. For two nickels a day, about two-thirds of all American families operate lights, radio, cleaner, toaster, percolator, clocks and washer. That makes the electric nickel just about the biggest double-decker in the world! How was it done? By good business man agement of the nation s electric companies!

The separate investigations were be gun early Monday, but neither militant authorities or civil auth orities would release any inform ation other than that a full report will he made public after the in vestigations had been closed The victim of the shooting was Sgt. Thomas B. Foster, 30 year old native of Zebulon, N. C., who enlisted in the army last May 31, at Baltimore. He was a member of the 92nd engineer battalion, which was sent to Camp Robinson here several months ago to do con struction work. According to city police, the shooting began with the unsuccess, fu] attempt of a crowd of Negro es, led by Foster, to liberate Pvt. Albert Glover, also of the 92nd en gineers, who had been arrested by MP’s for drunken.ess. Patrolman A. J. Hay, who shot Foster four times said that he and Patrolman George Henson went to the assist ance of two military police who had arrested Glover and were barred by a crowd of Negro civil ians from taking him ti their army truck. “I asked the MP’s to let me help them as I had been trying to hold the crowd back. I got hold of Foster and he threw me down on the ground and took my night stick. I jumped up before he did. I pulled my gun and shot him.” Foster was shot four times, two bullets entering his abdomen, one breaking his left arm, and the fourth entering his left side Eyewitnesses, however, tell a dif ferent version. They say the epi sode began when Pvt. Glover was ordered out of town by MP’s who charged that he was intoxicated. Glover agreed to leave as soon as he found a buddy, whose identity is unknown as yet, who would ac company him back to the post. Later he was accosted again by MP’s to whom he explained why he still remained in town. He was thereupon arrested. A sworn statement made by Gliver, who admits being drunk, states that the MP’s grabbed him and beat him, but that he “doesn’t remember civilian police having anything to do with his arrest and beating.” Reliable eyewitnesses, however, saw civilian police club Glover with night sticks, injuring him painfully. Glover had to be taken to the Medical aid station where first aid was administered. Still in custody of military pol ice, Glover was taken from tV state to the MP patrol car park ed about a block away Foste”, hearing of Glover’s treatment at ili'i",;!"u!iiii!’i;in irnw'TB I JOHNSON DRUG CO.
