HOW Jim WAS SAVED.
a Court Incident In Which General
Robert Toombs Figured.

Robert Toombs Figured.
The love that many of the former
slaves felt for their old masters and
mistresses has been illustrated in
countless stories. An incident which
happened in Georgia some years aft
er the civil war is related by the
Columbia State.
A negro man, strong and healthy,
but getting gray from years, was on
trial for murder. He had killed an
other negro and had been lying in
Jail for some time, awaiting his
trial. The testimony against him
was given by other negroes who wit
messed. the killing. When the case
was called for trial by the presiding
Judge, an old man rose and in a
voice deep and low, but full Of mark
ed gentleness, said, ''Will your hon
or please mark me for the defense ?"
1t was General Robert Toombs.
His face was wrinkled with age, but
it was large and strong, and tho
lines of intellect made deeper wrin-
kles than those of age. His white
hair rolled back in curls from a
splendid brow. His form was large
and tall and straight, although his
movements were slow with the
years. His eyes still flashed as when
he stood in the senate chamber at
Washington.
The witnesses all seemed unfriend-
ly toward the prisoner. In his own
statement he claimed that the kill
ing was in self defense.
General Toombs analysed the tes-
timony of the eyewitnesses and then
concluded thus:
"Your honor, please, and gentle
men of the jury, a few years ago my
only brother fell wounded on the
battlefield of Gettysburg. He lay
there bleeding to death, with no
friendly hand to help him. Shot
and shell were sweeping the earth
all about him. No friend could go
to him. No surgeon dared approach
him.
"Aly brother had body servant,
a negro man, who waited on him III
camp. The negro saw bis masters
danger, and straight out into that
sheet of battle and flame and death
he went. A piece of shell tore the
flesh from his breast, but on he
went, and, gathering my brother in
his arms, the blood of the man min
Cling with the blood of the master,
be bore him to safety and life. Jim,
open your collar"
The prisoner rose and opened his
shirt in the front. On his breast
the jury saw the long, Jagged scars
where the shell had torn its way.
Sims skin may be black" the
general continued, che may be ne
gro, but the man who would do
what he did has a soul too white
ever to have killed man except in
defense Of his own life"
The jury agreed with him, and
jim was cleared.

According to the Attorney General,
the Constitution did not follow the flag
an the case of the establishment of the
United States government in the
Island of Guam. When the naval COL
ony was originally established in Guam
with Admiral (then Captain) Leary as
the supreme power, one of his assist
ants, Lieutenant W. E. Stafford, pur-
chased one of the very few good dwell
ing houses on the island and made it
the best residence there. Governor
Leary concluded that Lieutenant Saff-
ord's house was needed as an executive
mansion, and sought to buy it. The
Governor thought Safford's price ex-
cessive, and finally condemned the
premises for government purposes and
took possession. Lieutenant Stafford
made vigorous protest and appealed
to Washington for redress, financially
and otherwise. The case became go
complicated that it was referred to the
Attorney General. The Attorney Gen
has now sustained the action of Gov
srnor Leary. In his opinion the At
torney General holds that the Consti-
tuition has not been extended to Guam
by congressional enactment, and that
the sole powers of government of the
island had been necessarily and prop
erly committed by the president to the
Naval Governor, and that in appropri-
ating the property he was entirely
within his authority in the exercise of
the right of eminent domain.
