"The average negro,n says Chief of Police speers Of
Kansas City, makes a far better witness than the
average white person. except in cases where fellow
man of color is on trial for stealing from white man.
The negro believes that crime Of this kind Is no crime
at ALL The white man he considers his lawful prey:
But let serious crime be eomntted--s murder,
daring robbery or an outrageand the negro who learns
ANYTHING Of them imparts his knowledge to the au
thorties with aacrty. And in an event of this Kind,
even though the criminal be his dearest friend or even
a relative he will not be spared. In fact, negro
will testify against one OF his race. II he be guilty
Of murder or outrage with more freedom than he
would a white man under similar circumstances. SO
true Is this that frequently get most OF our knowl-
edge about the serious crimes that are committed
through negroes calling at the station and telling us
what they know about Them"

ployed to put choir stalls in Lincoln Cathedral
England and told in the early English vernacular
of the day to hurry the job up as several Dig
functions were soon to off. But lots OF things
happened money got TO be exceedingly scarce ana te
men weren't paid very promptly. Although there
were no Knights of Labor then, human nature was
pretty much the same as it is now, and the men
knocked off, remarking No pay. no work." The
clergy were SO busy running the county political
| machine that they didn't have time to arrange the
matter and the finishing of the stalls was postponed
from time to time until the present day. ~ ast' nov"
