...bottles. Not Satisfied. Next morning the Fire Department suspended the fire-truck driver and the company's captain-and shifted a predominantly Negro company to the firehouse. But the disorders flared even higher that day, possibly fanned by a leaflet distributed by ACT that proclaimed: "DRUNKEN WHITE FIREMAN KILLS BLACK WOMAN"-prefaced in minute type: "Allegedly." The second-day riot lasted for nine hours; 18 policemen and 42 civilians were hospitalized, 105 persons jailed.
