Description
Brockwell was a large white man six feet, three inches tall and weighing 200 pounds. Bailey was a small Negro, five feet, four inches tall and weighing 108 pounds. On the afternoon of the difficulty Bailey came to the garage to get a car belonging to his father-in-law which had been left there for repairs. He was drinking but not drunk. He entered the garage and went to Brockwells desk, saying he had come to get the car and "he was going to ride tonight." Brockwell called his son, B. G. Brockwell, and told him to add up the bill and let Bailey know what it was. When that was done Bailey questioned the amount. Young Brockwell told him he would have to pay the bill or wait until the insurance man came the following Tuesday. Baileys reply was, "You all are nothing but a bunch of white crooks." Brockwell reported this conversation to his father. While he was doing so Bailey came up and threw a check down, stating that was all he was going to pay. L. G. Brockwell told him to come back Tuesday, whereupon Bailey put the check in his pocket and was "mumbling and mouthing" about white crooks. There was a boy with him who tried to get Bailey to go on out.
