Last evening q number Of colored citizens
met at the residence Of Edward II. johnson,
No. 304 Wilson street in Howardtown, for the
purpose Of discussing the killing OF Charles
Lonax by Policeman Mellen Monday night, as
heretofore printed in The STAR. and to take
some action toward bringing the matter to the
attention Of the courts and the grand jury.
Mr.. Ralph Wormley. who was related to the
dead man, called the meeting to order and Mr..
johnson was selected to perform the duties of
chairman.
In opening the meeting the chairman seated
the objects Of the meeting and he also stated
that the meeting would be held with closed
doors, as nothing would be done that the public
should know just yet. Later in the evening,
upon motion of Mr.. Wormley. reporters were
admitted.
DR.. Cook. who was in attendance, made mo
ton that II committee be appointed to consult
an attorney. ami the motion seemed to meet
with the approva. of the meeting. but the
Chairman thought that the motion was ont of
order and recognized Lawyer Milton Holland,
who had risen from bis seat. In his address
MIR. Holland said he surprised at the find
ing OF the coroners jury i'll the case, as be
thought :he testimony did not warrant any
such verdict From the printed reports of the
testimony he thought that the polio eman's act
was not only not justifable. but was criminal
He spoke at length upon the shooting and the
circumstances attending it and referred to the
officer s record being TAR from good one.
He said that the negroes in Washington were
not nearly 90 bad as they were often painted.
and he SAID that many of them were arrested
because of the number of over-zealous police
men on the force. which. he said. dis
grace to the city. The only relief he knew of
was the repeal Of the army and navy clause
governing police appointments.
Mr. Wormley also made . few remarks de-
daring that the people OF Howardiown were
law abiding people aud that the violence used
ON persons arrested WAS only inflicted because
the police could do it without fear of the pris-
oner resenting it. He said that the worst
policemen were usually sent to Howardtown
when they would not be tolerated i'll other
sections.
Several short speeches were made by others
and II was decided that Tor the present the

the grand jury should he LETT in the hands of

pointment OF a committee to arrange Cor mass
