As a result of the beating he received, Clarence Clemens: has developed pulmo - pneumonia. But if he dies—or lives on as a cripple—the blame rests on the policemen who gave Clem- ens that savage beating which sent him to hospital. Before Clemens lapsed into unconsciousness more tthan a week ago, he managed to tell his common-law wife and a close friend of long standing his story of the beating he received.

That was July 19. Clarence had had a few drinks. “He told me Dolores went around the corner ‘to see a friend, then this Constable Brown came in the cafe, told him to go home. He said he left the cafe, but stood in the doorway and told the cop he was waiting for his Continued on back page See NAME | | | ;
