A. Adkins, a "special agent" for the Missouri Pacific Railroad, and Charles Pratt, deputy sheriff, were said to be on their way to arrest a "white bootlegger" or whisky-smuggler, who had been causing trouble in Elaine. The white men, it was asserted, "had trouble with their car" and stopped just outside the Negro church (Arkansas Gazette, October 4th). There would seem to be a strong element of coincidence in the automobile trouble which would halt a white deputy sheriff' on a countr^^ road jus...t outside a church in which a meeting of Negroes was being held. From that point accounts differ. The white press asserted that the meeting had been maturing its con- spiracy plot, and suspected that their plans had been discovered. The Negroes, it was asserted, "opened fire, killing Adkins, and 15 225 THE XEGEO FACES A:vIERICA severely wounding Pratt. " A aespatch from Helena, of October otli, credited to the Associated Press, spoke of the widespread uprising which had been planned, and asserted that at Hoop Spur "there were one hundred armed Negroes in the church at the scene of the shooting, " of whom some were said to be women "carr^^ing automatic revolvers in their stockings" (Arkansas Gazette, Octo- ber 6, 1919).
