Counter charges loom from Simpson case in local court
Lester Post of Simpson was fined 20 dollars and costs by Mayor C O King for being drunk and dis orderly resisting arrest and causing a disturbance. Captain Earl DeMoss was summoned to Malone's drug store after Post allegedly used abusive language and refused to leave. A confrontation with DeMoss ended with Post escaping, later captured at the Baltimore and Ohio station square after further resistance. Post was examined by Dr Paul Warden for scalp injuries and concussion, claiming he was beaten in jail. Unofficial reports say Post may file charges against the police captain.
