'ANPi A segregation order under!
Hi" terms of which Indians and
Negroes are segregated in schools;
and plmes of amusement in the

resulted in a wave of resentment
that may lead to official action by

colored, but it is officered by white!

An official protest has already

an analogy on the Eves of such men

Officer and Bandit
Shoot It Out at
Holdup Scene
THUG IN GRADY
The < alm midnight hour sounded
forth with a rattle of pistol shots
that left Officer F. C Foster deed
on the floor of the Boulevard Deli
cat"ssen and his murdered, Harold
a thug of wide reputation, mort
ally wounded on the floor in front
of him.
Officer Foster was seated at the
counter in the resturant at 505
Boulevard N. E , drinking a cup of
coffee, when four desperate gun
| men walked in with their tools
j drawn and commanded, "stick 'em
up." The natural daring of a loyal
officer prompted him to draw his
gun in defiance of outlawry, where
up >n the wound'd thug shot Of
ficer Foster in the heart: the of
ficer returned the fire hitting White
just below his heart and White fir
ed a second shot which struck the
gallant officer in the face killing
him instantly.
Foster was rushed to the Georgia
Baptist hospital where doctors pro
nounced him dead. His body was
turned over to Sam R. Greenberg
I for preparation for burial.
The wounded bandit was identi
fied at the Grady hospital by Dr. J.
R Jackson as one of a group who
' held him up earlier in the week.
■ Three associates of White escaped
without leaving a clue.
White who is ly ng in a serious
i condition at Gradv hospital, after
epeated questioning by detectives,
efus d Thursday morning to di
vulge the identity of his three com
; panions.
Because they appeared at the hos
pital almost at the same t : me that
White did. his mother and his
broth- r. Mrs. Cora White and Rob
ert White, were ordered held for
investigation by Cipt Holcombe,
who came to the hospital to investi
gate the double shooting
When questioned as to how they
got the information about the shoot
ing. the two are said to have re
plied that they just "heard” about
it.
It is thought by police that the
injured lad’s relative were ap
praised of White's being shot in
connection with the robbery of a
drug store at the corner of High
land avenue and Glen iris, the
earlier part of the evening. The
first robbery netted the quartet $5O,
but the proprietor "f the store told
police that he had fired at the flee
ing bandits with a shotgun and
struck one.
All officers at headquarters were
sent on one of the most diligent
man-hunts in the history of Atlan
ta in search for the other trio who
escaped immediately following the
shooting. Several day-shift police
augmented those on night duty to
comb the city for all suspicious
looking characters.
Leading the man hunt were Chief
Beavers and Lieutenant T O. Stur
divant, with whom the dead de
tective had been associated for
some time.
Doctors at Grady hospital Thurs
day held little hope for the recov
ery of the 17-year-old bandit and
murderer.
