<br />
<br />The colored boy said the white boy made him stop and went back and took a swing at him. I
<br />advised the colored boy to move his car out of the street and park it properly. I moved my
<br />car around on Godwin Street headed North. AS I got out of the car, the white boy came over
<br />and started to talk to me. A few minutes later, the colored boy came over and they started
<br />arguing a little hit. I advised both of them to Come to Headquarters and secure warrants for
<br />each other. They both stated they did not know where Police Headquarters was so I told them
<br />to follow me and I would lead them to Headquarters. 'A%en I got to Headquarters, the white boy
<br />came in first and I showed him where the Justice of the Peace Office was. I explained to the
<br />Justice of the Peace what the situation was anal what I had found. The Justice of the Peace
<br />told me that he could not issue warrants for one of them but that he w~uld have to issue one
<br />for both of them. As I was leaving Headquarters, the colored boy was coming in and I showed
<br />him the way go the Justice of the Peace Office. Then I left and resumed patrol duty and do
<br />not know what took place at Headquarters.'"
