Decaturite
Claims Rape
And Beating

A 49-year-old Decatur woman

was forced into an automobile
with three young Negroes who
attacked her and raped her late
Friday night, police said.
The white woman told police
she was walking near a motel on
Carnegie Way when the men drove
up, pointed a pistol and told her
to get in the car or they would
“blow her head off.”

She told police the trio ‘slapped
her around’? then drove to the
area of Techwood Drive and Ba-
ker, Harris, and Williams streets
where they dragged her from the
ear, tore her clothes off, and

Taped her.

THE WOMAN, whom officers
said they found in a “hysterical |
condition,’ told police also that
the men beat her again after they
had raped her.

They told her, “You can't say a
Negro hadn't had something to |
do with you,” police quoted the
woman.

. She was taken to Grady Hospi-
tal for treatment and later dis-
missed, police also said.

The assailants were all said to
