Greater part of the child's' fall was witnessed by hLs horrified father, whose attention was attracted to the win/low by the rustling of curtains. He sow the baby roll off the window lodge, and rushed to the opening. There he said he underwent an agonizing conflict of emotions. The accident was a matter of seconds, hut Wolfe said he saw his boy's body, turning slowly in o horizontal position drop toward the sidewalk. Subconsciously he was aware of a man approaching the apparent spot of contact. Hope that the child's fall would he broken flashed into his mind, Wolfe said. h seemed that the pc.de stnaa ((jafriettff) stepped just a little faal.er at^ the last moment and then I saw Rowland strike his shoulders. Both fell and the two rolled apart. I felt that the impact had not killed my boy, but 1 do not know how 1 managed to reach the ground." The baby's left arm and right leg were broken, but doctors said it would live, (j&rnptts suffered a se- ( ver cut across the forehead. The child's mother entered the hotel shortly after the. accident, unaware that it had occurred. But she was [calm when advised that he had not been seriously injured. As for Garnetta, he told atten- ( dants he "never knew what struck him." An x-ray examination disclosed no fractures, and the New Yorker, whose side visit to a school friend here made him an apt instrument of fate, returned this afternoon to Chattanooga, where he has been spending his Vacation. i .Doctors said that not only had Garnetts savtfd the child's life but m ?? that both would probably have been killed by the impact had not the ^other's body fallen acrow his back and shoulders in a certain way.

Mutilation I ; ii, .. Raleigh Times, 27th. Starting suit in the federal courts for $100,000 as the result of his mutilation at the hands of a Martin county mob, Joseph H. Needleman, of Philadelphia, has again focused the spotlight of public attention on the grisly affair which resulted in the conviction of 28 mob members?convictions which in the opinion of many marked the breaking of the backbone of the "Lynch law" in North Carolina. Papers in Needleman'* suit were received Wednesday at the office of United States Marshall R. W. Ward here. They were filed Tuesday in the U. S. District Court at Washington, N, C. Thirty-two persons are named as defendants in the suit. Defendant* include in addition to the convicted mob members, several of whom are now serving terms in the ^State's Prison, Sheriff 11. T. Robertson, ofj Martin County, whom Needleman al-j leges aided and abetted in the muti- . lation by "counseling, advising und witnessing" the unspeakable opera-1 tion. Defendants in Ncedleman's $100,000 suit are: A. W. Griffin, Hubert Griffin, H. P. Griffin, J. G. Corey, L. A. Croom, I>ester Kdmondson, J. T. Harrell lister Crofton, Edgar Johnson, Sherwood Roberson, James Henry Gray, Johnnie Guirkin, Albert Guirkin, Roy Gray, E. C. Stone, Alfred Griffin Clarence Gurkin, Joseph H.' Collraine, Wilson Qriffin, Ben Lilly, Allen Griffin, JohnrA Griffin, Grady Smith, Julian Bullock, Dehnis Griffin, A. T. Lilly, John T. Smithwick, F. W. Sparrow, $r., F. W. Sparrow, Jr., Claro Heath, Luther Peele and H. T. Robertson. Of these, three are now serving, terms in the State's Prison. They are Dennis Griffin, and two Sparrows. Suit was started in the Federal Courts on account of Needletnan's non-resident status and on account of the varied residence of the numerous defendants. He is suing as a pauper and asking $75,000 as compensatory damages and $25,000 as punitive damages. Renewal of interest in the Needleman case brought to light the fact that the victim has married since his recovery from his misfortune, according to reliable sources of information here. Needleman's mutilation took place a few days after his arrest on a charge of criminally assaulting Ethel Griffin, a Williamston girl. This charge was later dropped. W hen Needleman was arrested in Eden ton, March 26, 1925, Sheriff H.j | T. Robertson of Martin county, took , him to Williamston, N. C. the next! day Needleman sets forth in his peti- i I tion.
