A portion of the posse then went into one of Callahans rooms, in his block which was rented to a black man. The room was occupied by a colored woman  One of the policemen placed a pistol at her head and compelled her to strike a light and then searched the room for her husband, not finding him they fired into a bed where Rhody Jacobs and her child were sleeping the ball passing through the womans arm, took off one of her fingers and lodged in her breast.
