Negro Narrowly Escapes Lynching After Stabbing L.A. Police Officer
Bf United Press.
A negro who reportedly stabbed a policeman who attempted to rescue him fro ma mob, narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of a crowd of infuriated citizens tonight.
The negro, Alonzo Goodwin. 32. was held by police while Leonard E. McDonald, 30, policeman who tried to pull the negro from the mob and was stabbed, was in a hospital critically wounded.
The fracas grew out of an accident in which the negro’s automobile was involved.
McDonald, off duty, drove up to the crowd menaing Goodwin and ordered it to disperse. He told
Goodwin to back up against his car to keep him from being struck by rocks.
Goodwin, apparently thinking McDonald was attacking him, whipped out a knife and slashed at the policeman. One of the wounds was driven deep, just above the heart.
