Wielders Os
Knives Bog Down
Under Attack
Assaults For
Past Week Hit
Low Level
The panzer divisions of the knife
weilder hogged down during the
past week as police stiffened their
drive against carriers of the
switchblade weapons. Less than
ten persons were victims of the
vicious blades.
Probably the most serious as
sault with a knife during the week
occurred Saturday night when
Clarence Brown, 33, of 058 Mont
calm, slashed his wife in the ab
domen during an argument about
nor attentions to another man.
However, there was anew ap
proach in the battle of sticking vic
tims with knives. The latest in
novation cropped up early Sun
day morning when Lcßoy Thomas,
33, 1071 Division, was assaulted
by a group of eight or nine white
boys with knives. Fortunately
Thomas had some mercury in his
legs ami wit- nblc to outspeed the
youngsters after they had robbed
him of s:>. He was pelted with tin
cans and stones as he fled to
safety.
In the case of Juhn Gib-on the
assaulter resorted to an ice pick
instead of the knife.

Does A Blitzkrieg On His Assailants
Ernest Marshall, 35, of 5541 Vine wood, is not the
kind of a ffuv who pops around seeking* trouble. Xn sir*
Ernest is a peaceful man.
Rut there are times when Ernest pet- his dander up.
a r id under this stress he is a dangerous man to brother.

Kmest, according to his arc-nun*
to police, was on his way home.
While walking on Yinewood, near
Kirby, he wa c stopped by 10 or 12
boys who asked him for his mon
ey, and when attempted to take a
wrist watch.
Marshall probably would have
given up his money, hut he resent
ed the attempt of the young thug*
to take bin wat.h. So he pulled hi
knife and began to battle the at
tackers. In the melee he was hit on
the head with a broom sin k wield
ed by one of his assailants
Private William Mosley, gn, 636’'
Stanford, and Mrs. Anna Vaughn,
12S Mt. Vernon, driving past, notic
ed the fight.
Mosley did not hesitate to rush t"
Marshall's relief and helped Firne-t
disperse the young thugs under
a bristling attack of flying fist®.
Marshall told officers that hi« at
