ntended to club me. I ran down to that
depot where the electric car goes thru to Seattle and then I turned to
look around because the car was at Hewitt and Colby, and as I went down
the walk two men stopped me and asked me if I hadn't had enough. They
told me to beat it, and as I turned around the same policeman, Ryan, I
think his name is, hit me on the forehead and then pulled his gun and
said, 'Beat it!' He was drunk and they were all swearing at me.

"After I got a block or so, there were two or three shots. I walked two
