Last Saturday night brace of three
negro roughs, named Alex Williams, Lee
Grant, and Yves Hardin, brutally beat
another negro named James Daniels, in
one of the ware houses down town. They
all pleaded guilty in the police courts and
we're fined; but il turns out now that their
offense is of nature that seems to re.
| ouire the notice Of the grand jury, for their
victim is in a deplorablc state, having been
helplessly abed and under medical treat
ment ever since. What the cause of the row
was is mystery and it doesn't make much
difference. The fact that three jumped on
to one and beat him and stamped him in
an outrageous manner can not be mitigate d
even by any provocatiou, much less JUST
fed. Besides, this is not the first time this
brace of roughs have come beforethe pub
lie in this manner.
