McIntire, Fred W. Scott, William A. Stuart, C. Harding Walker, Lewis C. Williams and
R. Gray Williams, and Acting President Newcomb. On the 20th of February, 1932, Miss Mary Glover, a trained nurse
attached to the staff of the University Hospital, in the discharge of some
of her duties about the Hospital, came out of the building and started across
the parking space at the rear of the Hospital. Tanner Slaughter, a colored man,
employed as janitor at the Biological Laboratory, had been sent to the Hospital
to get some distilled water for use at the Laboratory. He had driven his own
car, an old T-Model Ford, to the Hospital, had parked it in the parking space,
had gotten the water, and just as Miss Glover approached the spot where the
automobile was parked, Slaughter undertook to crank his machine, preparatory to
returning to the Biological Laboratory. |
