NEGRO SAVED FROM FATAL BEATING BY 4 FRESHMEN

Heroism of four Freshmen saved a negro from death at the hands of attackers last Saturday night. Passing by the alley connecting Winter and Summer Streets at about five minutes after twelve on their way from the theatre to the subway station, George C. Cunningham '42, George M. Flanagan '42, Owen W. Kite '42, and Montgomery M. Smith '42 heard sounds of a scuffle and decided to investigate.

Three men were beating a negro mercilessly, one pinioning his arms behind his back while the other two macerated his body with straight razors; the attackers retreated, however, before the advance of the Freshmen who remained with the injured men until the arrival of a policeman.
