_City and County of New York, ss._:
Miss Alice Lee, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
I reside at 433 West 36th Street (in the rear of the 37th Street
station house). On the night of Wednesday, August 15th, 1900, also
Thursday, the 16th, I heard people screaming and groaning, and shouts
of people pleading not to be clubbed any more. I saw one man lying on
the station house floor, apparently almost helpless. One man who was
pleading seemed to be between the main building and the out building
where the cells are located. An officer who was on one of the upper
floors leaned out of the window and threw a bottle down at the said
man, saying, "Kill the black son of a b----!" Deponent further declared
that it was impossible to sleep during both of the aforesaid nights on
account of the heartrending shrieks and groans coming from the station
house; and further, that she saw a number of colored men lying up in a
corner of the station house.
