1t certainly makes all the difference

It certainly makes all the difference
in the world whose OK is gored. Will
liam Francis, Of Marion, Ind, went to
his home Sunday, and found two
white men talking to his sister. 5
Francis objected to their presence
and ordered them to leave. They re-
fused to do so, and Francis procured
revolver, which caused them to re-
treat. Francis fired two shots at them,
which did not take effect Richard
Criswell, a neighbor, came running to
the scene and was shot through the
hand by Francis Mrs. Sarah Fran
els, mother of the young man who
was doing the shooting. attempted to
take the weapon from her son and
was shot in the left. thigh. - = So T.,
f. Francis made his escape and was
pursued until late at night by the po-
lice. but he eluded them. He return.
ed home during the night. when he
was met by the three men who had
been at his home, at the head of a
mob. He was seized, bound and a
rope placed about his neck and drag
'ged to a nearby tree and the end of
the, rope thrown over limb. The
mother, who was suffering and bleed
ing from the wound caused by her
son, came to the rescue of her brave
boy, and by prayers and threats stood
the mob at bay and released her son.
He was taken to Jail and when ar
raigned the next morning on the
charge of attempted murder pleaded
guilty and was sent to the peniten-
tiary to prevent further trouble.
This is what happens to an Afro
American who attempts to protect his
sister. Suppose the colors of the par
Elephants in this affair were changed,
there would have been three Afro
American men lyncled and the son
and mother would have been rauded
to the skies for their bravery. It's
a poor rule that won't work both
ways in cases like this. =.

He said that there was nothing fur
ther from his purpose than the de-
sire to precipitate sectional contro.
versy. ,Lynching was not by any
means confined to the South. Several
horrible cases had occurred in the
North; and white men, as well as
black, had been lynched. All over the
land there was intense interest in the
matter. 4 l,:
