On December 26th, 1936, Joseph A. Lively, undertaker and embalmer of the Colored Funeral Director's Association, called Mr. Johnson and told him that Mr. Williams, who is connected with the Harlem Funeral Home, had called at the home of Milbert Hurley, Sr., 1704 Mosher Street, and notified them of the death of their baby, Milbert Hurley, Jr.., at the City Hospital, and asked them if they would let him take charge of the funeral. Johnson, accompanied by Mr. Lively, then called at the Mosher Street address and interviewed Milbert Hurley, Benjamin Roane, Lottie Roand, and they made the following statement- to Johnson.

About 12:30 on Christmas day, December 25, 1936, Williams called at their.home and told them that their baby had died at the City Hospital; that he was an undertaker and , if they so desired, he could bury the child cheaper than any other funeral director because he bought ."his supplies in carload lots, and therefore was in a position to sell caskets to them cheaper than any other undertaker. They told him that they had an undertaker who had had funerals before for them, and that they did not desire his services. Mr. Williams gave them a card of the Harlem Funeral Home and left.

After" hearing these statements, Mr. Johnson asked them if they would make affidavit to these statements and they agreed. Their affidavit was filed with the complaint.

He stated that, he .was an undertaker and that he bought his caskets in carload lots, and could do the funeral for us cheaper than any one else. I asked him how he found out that the child was dead, and he said he was at the hospital getting a body when the child died, and he stopped by to notify us. I told him that Mr. Lively was our undertaker and so he left a card with us and when Mr. Lively came to our home we gave .him the card." Mrr-Bevin
