Veterans and police chase end in fatal post at Fort McPherson
In a detailed account from old Atlanta days, Capt Frank Couch and Whit Anderson chase a armed negro from Kyle’s grey shop to the military post grounds. A confrontation near the flag pole ends with Couch and Bowen firing as the negro dies from a head wound.
