COL. AUsTIN's TRIAL.

THE trial Of CO.. AUSTIN (white) At
Hampton, Va, recently upon the
charge Of having criminally assaulted
BERTHA TAPPIN, white girl attracted
much attention at the time.
The jury disagreed in two OF the
trials and at the third trial he was Civ
en- eight years in the penitentiary. His
counsel made motion for q new trial.
When it was argued, an affidavit was
produced in which BERTHA TAPPIN ad-
united having sworn falsely.
The judge promptly set aside the
verdict and granted Col. AUSTIN a new
trial. The girl went on the witness
stand and swore that she had previous
ly told fslsehood. Col. Austin was
acquitted.
The state had been put to the ex-
pense OF three trials, and a warrant
was issued for the arrest OF BERTHA
TAPPlN, Mrs. LILLE FINLEY and her
father, w. E. TAPPIN.
Her father was subsequently dis
charged by the magistrate and the
girl committed TO Jail to await the ac-
tion OF the grand jury. Mrs FINLEY
was also sent on to the grand jury, be-
ing allowed bail in the sum of 500.
BERTHA claimed that she induced heI
to swear falsely.
The remarkable part about the affair
is that BERTHA now says that her faith
er and Mrs. FINLEY ind ced her to say
that AUSTIN was not guilty. Shs now
declares that he was guilty.

CONVINCING COMMENT.


The Pittsburg, Pa, PREss says:
''There will be no lack OF feeling in
Georgia against the supreme court OF
that state, which has just rendered q
decision that, it is feared, to quote an
Atlanta telegram, will encourage
lynchiugs In the case against Ne
gre named Dorsey from Carroll county,
charged with criminal assault, the su-
preme court decided that: First, in or
der to secure conviction for criminal
assault the evidence must show beyond
all reasonable doubt an assault: seconS
the intent; third, . purpose TO carry
into effect this intent, with force. II
either of these elements is lacking the
offense is not made cut. Justice Lump
kins and one other member dissented
from this dsSision."
It remarks:
1T is singular in certain sense to
hear it said that this decision will in
| crease the number of lynchings, for
stripped of verbiage, it means sim
ply that in Georgia court a Negro
cannot be convicted without some evil
dence. IL this has not always been
the law there, it always ought TO have
been. 1t is simply common sense and
elementary justice, aud to say that it
means more lynehiDgs is tantamount
to saying that the lynchers in Georgia
do not want to besput TO the pains of
proving that q criminal assault is q
criminal assault. or course. in the
case OF q Negro the average Georgia
jury would not be unteasonably hard
| 60 convince.
1t is our impression that the decision
Of the Georgia court will do far less to
! encourage lynchers than the interview
| given out by Gov, Gambler, who, probR-
bly, without intending it, is more or
less incendiarY. When the governor
brings Negro acknowledgements forward
as cure Of the lynchiDg evil he is not
strikingly impressive, for it seems to
be facs that in Louisiana and other
states where practical distrsnchise-
ment has been accomplished lynching
is Sc prevalent as elsewhere"
The above comment covers the whole
field OF discussion and will convince
any fair minded person Of the wisdom
OF the decision OF the Supreme Court
as well as the truth contained in our
contemporary comment.
