Sworn to before me this 12th day of September, 1900.

_City and County of New York, ss._:
Susie White, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
I reside at 444 7th Avenue, New York City. On Sunday morning, August
12th, 1900, about six A. M., two officers in full uniform
came upstairs and, pushing the door of my room open, said, "Did not a
man come up here just now?" I answered, "Yes." The officer then said,
"Where is he? Bring him out." I then started to call the man, but
before I got to the room the officer had preceded me, and he called the
man out (his name is Joe Netherland) and took hold of him, and rubbing
his hand over his head said, "Got a scar?" Netherland said, "No. Who
are you looking for--the man that cut the officer?" The officer said,
"Yes. We're going to make it hot for you niggers!" After making a
further examination they found two more men, and after making a close
examination of them they found that they were not the men they wanted.
After threatening to do up all the "niggers" for killing Officer Thorpe
they left.
