MAN SHOT: DEATH IS EXAGGERATED Two minutes after hearing two shots fired early afternoon about 3:30 in the neighborhood of West and Walnut Streets, Officer Charles Miles, who was off duty, rushed to the corner of West and Walnut and found a man who gave his name as Leroy White, 1911 Reed Alley, lying in the street with a gunshot wound in his left side. White told the officer that the man that shot him was running down Walnut Street. The officer jumped into his automobile and overtook the fleeing man who says his name is James Wilson and lived at 434 S. 15th Street. Wilson told the officer that he shot White after he, White, had followed him through West Street, threatening to kill him with a knife. The wounded man was taken to the city hospital in a police car by Detective Hemphill, where he died. Officer Miles took Wilson to police headquarters and slated him on a charge of shooting and wounding and was arraigned in police court Tuesday morning to answer the charge but was ordered held without bond to September 11. Other officers assisting Miles in the arrest were his partner, Otho Brown, George Harris and Detective Hemphill. Wilson was arrested and held for shooting and wounding, under bond. Tuesday the charge was changed to murder, without bond, because detectives heard White had died. Wednesday it was learned White was still among those present so the murder charge, without bond, was taken off Wilson. He's still in jail because he can't make the bond on the shooting and wounding charge.

KU KLUX KLAN FOR G. O. P. CANDIDATE By William Warley Colored voters of Indiana will have to line up behind Hon. Sherman Minton, Democrat, for the United States Senate regardless of all other issues. This situation is brought about by the fact that the iniquitous and despicable Ku Klux Klan is reorganizing to support Arthur R. Robinson, Republican candidate. The Klan has reestablished headquarters in Indianapolis and plan to arouse religious and racial hate in order to elect Robinson. So the colored voters of Indiana must needs be for Mr. Minton for that reason if no other. Of course there are other reasons and the colored Democrats are using them to get practically an unanimous Negro vote for Mr. Minton and the Democratic ticket. First, of course, is that Mr. Minton in the Senate will hold up the hands of President Roosevelt. And it is a dreadful thought to think what would have become of this country if Roosevelt were not President. Governor McNutt, Democrat, of Indiana, has "come clean" with the Negro since his election. He has given the race more representative recognition and appointments since his election than any Republican Governor ever did. Governor McNutt is for Mr. Minton for Senator. Mr. Minton is an overseas captain and appeals greatly to the voters of the American Legions and Veterans. So all in all it would seem if the colored voters have the political acumen they are credited with having they will go to the polls and vote for Sherman Minton for United States Senate. Dr. M. A. Blackburn, a former Indianian, reports colored voters in towns he visited are taking the view expressed above.

Wilson, Clark Jefferson, Henry Green and J. H. Butcher. Each of the speakers attacked the Colored Democratic Victory Organization, declaring it was getting too much recognition and that its members were telling other Negroes they had better join the Victory club or else. Mr. Welsh tried to pour oil on the troubled waters. [Then?] Col. Brennan arrived. The colonel arrived just as the meeting was being adjourned and made appointment for another date when he could hear everything
