I Portland’s Own Store After what was characterized as one of the most sensational hearings ever held in the District Attorney's office, David King, postal clerk, 102 West 138th street, who had been arretted and charged with the murder of Ches-ter Bagley on Monday evening, July 12, was exonerated when the Grand Jury of 24 men, good and true, setting behind locked doors, refused to indict him. Immediately after King heard the words that meant relief from a fight in court for life or death, he thank ed the twenty-four men who had so graciously spared him. His story, simply told and without effort, had touched his hearers. H e told how he had worked hard in the service o f the Government and had turned over all his money to his wife. He had nev er questioned her as to how she spent it. It had been banked in her name. He said that he had not believed the stories which had been brought to him of his wife's infidelity, but that they were coming to him so often that he decided to investigate the truth of them. Accordingly he got extused from his work Monday afternoon and came home. When he reached his door, he found that the Fox Police lock—a burglar proof lock bar which the Kings used when they went out— was not in use Then he knew that his wife was home. When he stepped into the house, he called and got no answer, so he went to each o f the rooms look ing for her. Then, when he came to the bed room he found the door closed and when he opened it he saw his wife, Francis, in bed with Bagley. He slam med the door, went to another room, returned with his 32-caliber Iver- Johnson revolver and fired two shots into Bagley’s body. Both bullets took effect and Bagley still struggling for his life, ran into the street where he fell down dead. King's arrest followed immediately, when he was taken into custody by Detective« Bauerscbmidt and Bums o f the 16th Precinct. That was the story King told the Grand Jury and when he had finished the eyes o f the attendants were filled with tears.lt was the story o f a trust- inghusband and the faithless wife. The Grand Jury, equally touched by the story, refused to return an indict ment. As K ing was leaving the District Attorney’s office with his lawyer, A. Sidney Rosenthal, 1540 Broadway, he was rearrested by Detective Bauer- schmidt on a charge of having violat ed the Sutivan Law. Bail was fixed at $500 and he was freed when Junius Green put up. Iti s the general opinion that since King possessed the revolver before the Sullivan Law was passed, and since he had tried to ge^ a permit for its possession, he will receive a sus pended sentence. A t the post office where King is employed, it is said that his fellow workers are taking up a testimonial collection as a token of the high es teem in which he is held. He has been in the service for 26 years and has never had a charge of any kind a- gainst him. The P. O. Department has granted him a thirty-day leave so that he can get his affairs straight ened out. — Reprint from the New Y ork Age. --------- o--------- N. A. A. C. P. G E T S R E P O R T O N S M IT H C A SE New York, N. Y., August 2, 1926— The W ar Department, through Brigadier General Lutz Wahl whois Acting Adjuntant General of the Un ited States Army, has informed the National Association for the Advance ment of Colored People .it was an nounced today, that the killing of private Phillip Smith of Company K, 24th Infantry, on September 1, 1925 at Americus, Ga., is now receiving at tention. General Wahl informs the Advancement Association that he will "be pleased to inform you further at the earliest practicable date” of the results of the inquiry. The letter from the W ar Depart ment came as a result of the refur ring of the Association’s protest to President Coolidge. In its letter to the President the N. A. A. C. P. gave the facts of the murder of Private Smith by E. J. Fulbright, a white watchman. Fulbright was given a farcical trial which resulted in his acquittal. The N. A. A. C. P. de manded not only action towards pun ishment of the murderer but the re moval of the 24th Infantry from Ga., to a more civilized section o f the country. H OTEL* NOTES Joe Crane, former private waiter at the Portland, was a caller at that popular hostelry last Saturday. Toms is the name o f the new cap tain at the Portland. He was put oh the job Monday to succeed J. Rogers who quit of his own accord to take a job as room waiter in the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, at $165.00 per month (S o he says, he may be tell ing the truth, and he may not) Any way, good-bye Rogers, we hop* you make good with the “ Bull." Later— Mr. Rogers has changed his plans and has taken the job of head waiter at the Seaside Hotel, at Sea side. Ore. Bully for you old boy! The report that all the Colored waiters in Gitnbles department store in Philadelphia had been discharged is untrue. Some were laid o ff until certain repairs could be made in the basement lunch room, after which alt will be put back to work.
