OVER THE SILL — City Det. M. M. (Buster) Dillard clambers through a window at
the Gulf Oil Co. warehouse at 542 Plum St. to join in a search for a Negro man
lurking inside. Jerry Wigfall, 24, of 517 N. 6th St., who was caught hiding inside
the building, had not been captured at the time this picture was taken. Officer Ed
Freeman standes at the base of a ladder near the window, holding a riot gun and a
flashlight. At Freeman’s feet are tires which had been thrown through a window of
the warehouse. (Staff Photo by Joel Kirkpatrick)
