LOSE EYE; EVIDENCE PRE
SENTED TO PROVE CLARK
RESISTED ARREST
Committee of John Carbonell,
Albert Cooper, Hunter Harden
and Lance Lester heard the
case of Charles Lee Clark, color
ed, who was struck by police
officer Howard Harris after an :
alleged resistance of arrest.
The hearing was called to as
certain if the city should pay,
Clark’s hospital expenses and
possibly buy him a ticket to
his home.
Testimony this morning re-!
vealed that Clark is alleged to
be very “wild” when drunk and
officer Harris said that he
struck the boy when he refused
to be allowed to be held and
after considerable profane abuse.
Officer Genesis Parks said that
he removed an open knife from
the back pocket of the boy. Offi
cer Dean said that he found the
boy out of jail Saturday night
and stated that he was drunk
and very abusive again.
Clark stated that his right eye
had been hit so badly by officer
Harris that some doctors say it
will have to be removed to save
the other eye. Officer Harris
stated that he blackjacked the
boy once after he began resist- j
ing arrest and that he was not
bleeding but fell to the ground
unconscious. He was then re
moved to city jail.
Clark said that he has been
in the hospital two weeks and
that colored citizens collected
money to send him to Miami.
He stated that he has not been
able to see out of the struck
eye and that it is greatly swol
len.
