_City and County of New York, ss._:
Mrs. Betty Green, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
I reside at No. 353 West 37th Street, Manhattan Borough, New York City.
On Wednesday, August 15th, 1900, about eleven P. M., I saw
John Newman coming out of the restaurant next door, No. 351, and spoke
a few words to him, and saw him go into the hall door of the house
in the rear of which he lived. Almost immediately I saw two officers
in uniform, and about three others in citizens' clothes. The two in
uniform ran into the hallway after the said John Newman, some of the
officers saying, "Get the black son of a b----, and kill him!" Shortly
afterward I saw the two men in uniform drag Newman out onto the stoop,
clubbing him meanwhile. He sank to the stoop and lay there for some
time. While he lay there a patrol wagon went by, and the officers tried
to get it to stop; but it went on. They then took Newman and led him on
down towards the station house. All the way to 9th Avenue every officer
they met took a crack at him. Deponent states that Newman was perfectly
sober, and had done nothing from the time that he left the restaurant
till the officers ran after him into the hallway. She saw him make no
resistance after the officers got him and clubbed him.
