Harold Thomas, all LU students and
prospective Omega Psi Phi pledges, >
and himself were told by David L.
Smith, who is not a student and an
inactive member of the fraternity, to
meet at the track at 3 p.m.
Perry, Bryant, and Jones all sign- 1
ed the notarized statement. Perry
and Bryant were not at the news con-
ference. Smith was not at the press
conference.
“We were late and David was
mad,” Jones said. “He (Smith) said
he was going to have us run six
miles.”
Smith, when interviewed Tuesday
morning at his job at Wicke’s
Lumber following the news con- >
ference, said he did mention that
they would run six miles but that he
did not force Jones, Perry, Bryant
and Thomas to run.
According to both Jones and '
Smith, Thomas collapsed on the
final lap.
Smith said he told Harold “Come i
on, get up Harold. You can get up.”
Jones, during the news con-
ference, said, “He passed out. We
took him off to the side. We (Jones
and Bryant) thought someone was
going to get a car. None of us really
knew the condition of Harold.”
Smith said he and Perry left the ’
track about 5 p.m. to pick up a car at >
Golden Imports and returned to the
track “about 5:25 p.m.” |
Smith said he met Wilridge, who „
said he was informed of the incident
by Bryant, on his way back to the (
track after picking up the car at the t
dealership. Wilridge said he argued
with Smith over the incident. Smith j
did not say whether he argued with
Wilridge at the track.
According to the Brenda Thomas’ .
notarized statement, Perry told a
girl in the gym to call an ambulance. '
Smith said he and Perry laid
Harold Thomas in a car, but then
took him out and proceeded to give -
him CPR until the ambulance arriv-
ed. Brenda Thomas’ statement con-
curred with Smith’s account of j
Harold Thomas receiving CPR. The
ambulance arrived shortly after J
Thomas received CPR. ,
