THE ACQUITTAL OF TIMBRRLAKE.

NEVER in the history of this common
wealth has there been greater travesty
upon justice than that which took place
Wednesday, September 24th, 1909, at
Henrico County Courthouse. which is
located in this city
CHARLES TIMBERLAKE (white) crimi
nally assaulted Mrs. KEzIAH BANKS
(colored). There was no denial of this
fact for white and colored persons were
witnesses to the outrage. TMDHRLAKR
was caught in the act, The prisoner
knew that he was guilty and 50 did eve
~ body in the neighborhood.
White neighbors seemed to be as
much disgusted with him as the eolored
ones. 1t was conceded that he was a
brute that deserved no sympathy. The
crime that he committed is regarded as
the most heinCus known to the law and
the punishment provided is death. And
yet on the day specified, a jury of white
men brought in verdict as follows=
I'VE, the jury find the accused nos
guilty as charged in the indictments, be-
heving he was insane at the time the
act was committed"
This is signed by E. w. CHRISTIAN,
Foreman. Mark you, they do not say
that the fiend was insane before OF after
the crime was committed or that he Is
insane now, but that he was insane at
the time the crime was committed. AIN
other words, no white man who casn-
mits criminal assault upon coloredfe-
male can be sane at the time he COM
mits the crime and therefore sAoald not
be punished.
What do the people of the country
think of this? What becomes Of all the
agitation relative to this specific crime
The Judge seemed to have felt the full
force of this miscarriage OF justice in
his court, for he ordered TnGBBRLAKs 70
the Henrico county Jail until admission
into an insane asylum ends the farce.
How long does any one suppose that
he win remain in such retreat where
he is to be tenderly cared for and fed
upon all the dehcacies Of the season?
These institutions were established for
the benefit Of insane or crazy people and
but a few months will intervene before

fright to live will again be turned out
upon the community.
