ing to this man to them, an entire
stranger, for the cause he stated,
was right, but what we suggest is
that tue money raised by public
collection at churches for refugees
or others now North soliciting
money to send to and for their
families in the South, should be
held by the treasurer OF the church
until credentials can be produced
in order that it might be absolutely
certain that this money is to be
sent South to this family for the
purpose stated. The Rev. Geo. w.
Johnson, the man in question, may
be all right, but let US do things
where money ls in question, in d
systematic business way. If MI.
johnson is raising money at each
meeting he attempts to address, at
the rate he did Tuesday, he will
not have long to wait ere he sees
his loved ones. Be kind to the
stranger within thy gates. Also

Thousands have shared this sad
fate, but heart.broken sorrow COM
pels me TO address this letter TO
the public, that the world may
know of the cruel wrong done me,
in the loss of an OuIy brother who
was thrown into Jail for trying to
defend the People s. Grocery Com
pany of which he was clerk. NY
brother neither killed nor injured
any one, yet he was dragged from
prison and brutallJ murdered. As
some of the white people tell it,
he was killed because in the trOu-
BILE some of the officials were hurt.
But eye witnesses saw the officers
when stai ding without, fire upon
the other officers flee ing from the
building, evidently taking them to
be cOlOred men. Mv brother
should have been protected tul
justi plead not his cause, so he
was left to die. He had been
warned for several days that a
rival grocery keeper was coming
with a crowd of men to mob the
store. But brother could not for.
sake his post of duty, he could not
betray his trust for he was the ser
want of the people.
Minnie mOurns this sad loss, for
she little dreamed that in so short
a space of time, her sky Of life
would be darkened.
Brother was my only help and il
was my purpose BY his aid to edu>
cate myself.
