the white people, ran amuck

The Negro, who appeared
crazed by . dope, slashed away
at whites along Dauphine

from famed Bourbon street

violence brought on by ten
sions over integration of New
Orleans schools.
The Negro, identified as
Donald Erion, 17, was taken

wound.

streets of the quarter. It was
an ominous start for a period
which tho city had hoped
would be peaceful with the
schools closed until Nov. 28.
The city had been relative
ly quiet since mob scenes and
violence of Wednesday. It was
awaiting the ruling of a fed
eral court on state and school
board attempts to reverse in
tegration and get four first
grade Negro girls out of the
schools. ,
It was about noon when the
morning-after quiet of the
quarter was shattered by the
Negro boy suddenly running
into white bars and shops and
cursing the proprietors.
Started Slashing
Then he drew a four-inch
knife and began slashing away
at whites, screaming he didn't
"give a about the federal
government, the courts, the
white people."
Then Erion came upon the
Goss boy. He broke the uke
lele, kicked and stomped the
boy and cut him. It was fear
ed the boy had a skull frac
ture, too.
Women began screaming
"get him, get him." A police
officer in a three-wheel traffic
cycle took his pistol and shot
from about 20 feet as Erion
ducked between a small sports
car and the wall. One bullet
hit him in the hand and the
other in the head.
