i t THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON. WEDNESDAY. MAY 14. 1919. PAGF FIVE v). CIIY AITORHEV HADE DfFBMIS $5,030 SKIT RLEDBY SIKES B. W. Hacy, EkerMasgis And Morris W. Welch Sued For Daaages As Result Of Armistice Day Incident "And caused the American flag to be handed to plaintiff and oninirnu the Mid plaintiff to kiss said flag." With this statement included in his Complaint, James Sykes has brought nit for $5000 damages against B. W. Macy, city attorney, timer JUngii and Horris W. .Welch. In his e;'nplaint Mr. Sykes alleges that on November 7, 1918, defendants violently assaulted and beat him ana restrained his liberty and uttered vile language toward him; that they kick ed, beet tnd struck and abused him and used 'language so as to attract a mob of more than 100. That he was marched by defendants long State street two blocks to Com mercial, north on Commercial to Cherne Jteta and thence back to State street and thence west to Front street and thence to the bpaulding Logging Co. 'a office. That he was then placed on a jvont and the American flag was handed to him and that he was commanded to kiss the fluff. Mr. Sykes also alleges that the nob used vile language and angrily threat ened him with death and that calls were made to throw him in the river. That j the defendants pulled ana twisted Bis arms and that liis legs were struck, kicked aAd bruised. Ho alleges that he has suffered great ly in body and mind from which he has not recovered and that he, was injured to the extent of $J000, M. E. Pogue ap pears as attorney for 2dr. Sykes. Tho incident occurred at the time the eity was going wild over tho first an nouncement of the armistice, November 7, 1918. It seems that Mr. Sykes had not joined in the parade of the employes of tho cipaulding Logging company and that Homo one asked him why he had not joined In with the others. His reply was such that it angered a number of men standing near tho I.sdd & Bush. bank. Mr. Sykes was then marched up and down tho streets and taken to the SpauUUng logging mill where tho incident about kissing the flag occurred. Mr. Mncy, one of the men sued for $51100, is inclined to regard the suit as a joke. He says that the part oi the complaint alleging facts showing injury and damage aro untrue. It Is true, Mr. Macy said, that Mr. Sykes was marched nlong the streot and that he kissed the fine and that ho apologized for what he enid and done. The eity attorney is in clined to think the attorney for Mr. Bykes is more to blame for the bringing of tho suit thnn Mr. Sykes himself.
