2398 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES Mr. Robinson. No. One of them, we saw them trailing us and trying to stop us. We shot down Beacon Street. I jumped out of the car and dashed up the stairs to my office and got away. He went on down the street, got out of the car and left the car parked there and walked down the street to a little restaurant where some of our other boys were. His name, incidentally, was John Riley, a big Irishman, who really could fight. He went down to this little restaurant and got these other boys, four more, to come out and they were looking for these fellows. He found them, all right, and instead of being just one carload there were 30 of them. They came at him from both ways. They knocked John down. He was sitting on the sidewalk dazed. They hit him with a club, or something, and knocked him down. I was up at the window upstairs. Of course, I got out ot the picture with them. I could not fight anyway because of my physical condition. So John was sitting on the sidewalk dazed and they put a crowbar right down through the top of his head. :Mr. Owens. They what ^ Mr. Robinson. A crowbar, a steel bar. Mr. Fisher. Regardless of wdiether the card that has been shown to you is the identical one that you saw at the time, he did tell you at that time definitely that he was then a member in good standing? Mr. Robinson. Yes, sir. Mr. Fisher. Or at least he was a member of the Communist Party? Mr. Robinson. Definitely yes, and the card he showed me was to prove or substantiate his statements. Mr. Kearns. Mr. Robinson, I will ask you to report back in the morning. We will be in recess until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. (Whereupon, at 5 : 15 p. m., the subcommittee recessed until 10 a. m. of the following day, Wednesday, March IT, 1948.)
