The case of Nathan Brown, colored, charged

Brown was having difficulty with another

and, waving it. said, an kill niger before
II O'clock" Upon this Parker left. The case
was sent to the grand jury, with bonds fixed
at 81, 900.
The defendants counsel claimed that this
was excessive bail. The judge said: II think
every man who puts pistol in his pocket
with the intention of shooting somebody
ought to have rope put around his neck
and kept there until he dies Such people as
these should never have pistols. What use
do they have for them? They never have
any money and there is no danger of their
being robbed, but they must have pistols so
they can shoot anyone who steps on their
