George Austin Says He Will
Get Even With Court When
Sentence Is Served
HIS HATRED is MOST BITTER
Negro Who Cursed Judge caswell In
Court Monday Afternoon. Now
Threatens His Life-some Talk of
Trying Him on Burglary Charge,
For Which He Was Indicted.

The intense hatred that was eNhibitel
by George Austin, the colored prison
err W no was sentenced by Judge Caswell
to ten years at hard labor at FIT. NAL
|ison, on charge OF assault with in
tent to commit murder. Monday after
noon, when he cursed the court for
pronouncing ten-year sentence upon
his wife. Lizzie. for burglary. may re-
suit in the man being tried on th7
burglary charge himself. After Austin
was taken from the court room, in thu
presence of officers. he threatened Judge
Caswell's life, saying he would get even
with him when he had served his SEN
tence.
Austin showed his hand Monday at
ternoon, wnen he placed himself i'll the
eyes of the public as man who has
no regard whatever for law. 1t Is q
very unusual scene for prisoner 10

the officers think that their statement
tuS uGlSHdaAl Nets oiS oh t1t'
worst negro criminals who ever operat-
ed in the city, have been verified by the
prisoners actions. No man who had
any regard for the law would act A.
Austin did.
Austin's indiscretion. it is thought
by many. will result in his being placed
behind penitentiary walls for much
longer period than had he kept his
mouth shut when sentenced. He Was
indicted by the grand jury on the same
charge MS his wife, burglary, and can
be sentenced TO ten years on that
charge, IL proved guilty The case
against Austin is as good as that
against the wife. who WAS sentenced
10 ten years. If he Is going to conf
nit another crime, and one of murder.
when he completes his sentence. the
officers think it, would be we'll for him
to be given another ten-year sentence
on the burglary charge. Perhaps an
additional ten years would subdue
some of the hatred that he Is now
the man on the burglary charge. be-
cause he pleaded guilty to the other
which was punishable by a
sentence that would be sufficient to
tame almost any ordinary criminal.
The expense of securing another jury.
or bringing the man back from penl-
tertiary at the March term. was also
orousli; up, but now that Austin has
shown his true character 1t is likely
expense will not be considered, and
that the prisoner will be made to stand
trial on the burglary charge.
Sheriff Hutson has not decided We:

From Unusual Text.
In and around quiet old Georgetown
there are good many goats, and they
furnished a colored divine a text for
his sermon recently. The expounder
of the gospel told his flock that in
many instances they were even infe-
rior to the brute creation in their
treatment Of each other; that they
were not as thoughtful and consider
ate as the goat. He then told of two
goats he had seen meet on a narrow
bridge, and one lay down and let the
other jump over him. eyes, that Is
what they did," said the colored par
son, "and there was no jawing about
giving the right Of way; no talk of
breaking heads and police courts. II
it had been two of you men who had
met on that bridge, one would have
showed the other off and there would
have been trouble, sure. You can
learn a lesson from the goats. Let us
live like the goats, brethren" Wash
