Razor At Negroes Dance

Frolic Near Savannah Ends With Loss of Life

Savannah, Ga., Jan. 13 – The Negroes at Sunnyside, as the former government 
hospital site south of this city is called, had a hot supper Saturday night.  
At an early hour yesterday morning things began to get rowdy, someone blew out 
the light.

Willie Butler had his eye on Rad Baker and made one swipe at the latter with 
his razor as the light went out.

The blow severed Baker’s jugular vein and he bled to death.  The detectives 
caught Butler without any trouble.
