Because of her mental condition at the time of the tragedy she cannot be held legally responsible for her act, however unfortunate. However, Dr. Bahr said, she will henceforth be confined to a room by herself although she will still be permitted to mingle with other inmates while under careful sur veillance. Dr. Bahr said the auditory hallucination under which Mrs. (3 ray acted completely overpowered her. “Such hallucinations,’’ he explained ‘overcome all reason and judgment amj the victim feels he or she must obey. It is an unfortunate condition no one can foresee or safely guard against." He recalled from his experience the case of a woman who, under such an hallucination, buried her child alive and another who jump ed into a stream because she “heard the voice of her decea-ed husband'’ as she crossed a hr dge. Funeral services for Mrs. Poole were held Thursday at the Good Samaritan Baptist church of which she had been a member. Rev. J. T. Highbaugh officiated with the Miller Mortuary conducting the funeral ceremony. She came here four years ago from her native home. Eaglesville, Tenn.

Man in Critical Condition, Shot in Quarrel Over Debt One man was in the hospital in critical condition and a second man was being treated, as the result of two holiday shootings, this w'eek. James Allen, age 37, 1014 Colton St., was in critical condition in General Hospital, Thursday of this week suffering a bullet wound in thu dyst add a crushed chest which lie received Sunday. He was allegedly shot by Joe Thurman, age 58, 1137 Patterson St., following an argument over seven dollars Thurman is supposed to have owed Allen for some corn whiskey Thurman had purchased from him a few months ago. Witnesses said Allen went to Thurman’s home in his truck, and demanded his seven dollar?. An argument ensued as Allen challenged Thurman to ‘‘come out and fight like a man.” Thurman went awny from the front door •‘for a minute” and came back with his rifle and fired one shot, through the screen, hitting Allen in the chest. Allen started to drive away, witnesses said, but after advancing several yards he fell from the driver’s seat, into the street and tiie rear wheels of the truck passed over his chest. Thurman appeared in Municipal Court Tuesday and the case was continued pending the final condition of Allen. Thurman was returned to the Marion County jail. * * * David Jackson, age 26, 2053 Sheldon St., was treated at Gen-

500 Block Indiana avenue represents a penalty inflicted upon the operators as result of an effort made by other parties to restrict the entry of new liquor outlets in ^n already overcrowded district. About a year ago, when a pub lie clamor arose over the glaring over-supply of liquor outlets on Indiana ave., in comparison with other sections of the city, members of the Marion County Liquor Board announced dn agreement with the Indiana Alcoholic Beverage Commission not to permit the opening of any new liquor outlets on this street.

The shooting occurred in Douglass Park, Lieutenant Fae Davis, of the homicide detaail at Poliee Headquarters, said Jackson refused to give any information in regards to the shooting.

Consequently when the transfer j of a liquor store from S. Illinois street, to the 500 Block Indiana avenue, was approved last December persons interested in maintaining the limitation agreed upon by the liquor boards began a fight to oust the newcomer, the Sullivan Package Liquor Store. It was then that Rev. Mills stepped into the picture with a claim that the location was within the prohibited 200 feet of his mission, a claim which was upheld by the liquor boards. Informed that his license would not be renewed therefore, Thomas Sullivan, who managed the store, retaliated with charges that

the other liquor outlets in the block moLi of which were operat ed by Negroes also were in vio lation of the law. When measurements showed this to be a fact, the local board refused to renew licenses of those iffected upon their annual expira tion. As a defense, the luckless oper itors instituted the suit challeug ing the status of the mission as a church within the meaning of he law. Througn their counsel. Wilbur H. Grant, they contended that although the Rescue Mission was a religious organization after a fashion, it actually constituted i business organization in that it rented rooms, leased part of iP building as a barber shop, operat ed a parking lot and operated ;• selfrserve laundry, from all of which it expected to make profit just as any other business opera tor. Rev. Mills, the executive head o! the non-profit incorporated venture, maintained that all profits accrued to the mission, not any individual or individuals and that a rr.oni of tiie large two-story building used for religious services only was equipped in the conventional manner for church services which were held regularly. Judge Claycombe ruled that if any part of the building designated as a mission was used as a church, then the entire building constituted a church regardless of other activities and the ABC restriction must be upheld by the local an 1 state liquor board authorities. A total of an approximately $100,000 investment is lost to the group of operators thus forced out of business.

NAACP SURVEYS Continued from Page 1 eral Hospital. She was given only a* hypodermic to relieve pain, a temporary gauze dressing to stop bleeding, and finally at the insistence of the mother, her wound was bandaged just before she left the hospital. Superintendent Robert Neff and Dr. Tf. F. Burdette, chief resident physician, deplored the incident but attempted to blame it <>n a mistake in judgment by the admitting physician. However, they freely admitted that Methodist Hospital bars Indianapolis Negro patients, who -‘are expected” to ?o to General Hospital. Dr. Burdette said, in effect, that he little girl was too badly injured o be treated at Methodist. H»t heel had been cut completly off »nd the Achilles tendon severed be explained, so that it would have been necessary to give her a gen--ral anesthetic in or h r to treat her wounds. This woul 1 have required admit ing hot to Methodist, which is against the hospital’s policy, he -aid. The child’s condition became worse last week and she was returned to General Hospital as an in-patient. Myers Denies Bias Dr. Charles W. Myers superin--‘endent of General Hospital, told in NAACP delegation that there s no agreement, written or unwritten. whereby Indianapolis Negro patients are expected to go to General Hospital. “That may be a policy of the ether hospitals, but we are not in on it," Dr. Myers declared. -‘We do not differentiate among patients on the basis of race, creed or color.” * In particular. Dr. Myers denied that Negro paying patients are supposed to go to General Hospital, while white paying patients are not admitted. “We frankly tell patients who are able to pay, that they will get better service at the private hospitals,” he explained, "but they are welcome to come here if they so desire, ..provided we have the Beds.” .. Superintendent Neff of Methodist Hospital had declared that white paying patients are not admitted to General. Asked who -‘expects” all Negroes to go to General Hospital, Dr. Myers suggested; ‘-Maybe the ministers do!” > Tiie Indianapolis Civil Rights Committee, meeting at Central YWCA last week, voted to enter the case in epoperation with the NAACP. The committee planned to reach Methodist ministers with the story of the Pullins child. Carl Leon Fddy is chairman of the group.
