pCcted to reflect the views Of Mr.. Bry-

Grace said; 81 do not suppose there
is anything | could say that would be
Of any effect on you, for the crime you
have committed shows that you are
lost TO all sense Of honor and decency.
Il wish IL were possible TO reach all
OF the members OF your race and teach
them the lesson that has been taught
you that such crimes are to be pun
ished by swift, sure death. There is
no nation under the sun, be 1t civil.
lied or savage, that does not punish
such crimes with death There never
has been a nation so base and savage
that II did not so punish such crimes.
II is looked upon with horror any
where. 1t is you, and brutes like you,
who do more damage in the United
States than any others. You keep
down your people for, while the
crime cannot be charged TO your race,
the feeling against the race must ex-
ist In the breasts OF all white men
until the crimes cease The charac-
ter OF few negroes like you causes
the feeling between the races in the
south and causes the sectional feeling
that exists between north and south.
am glad to say that there are only
few Of your race who would do such
a thing, but this few affects the whole
material prosperity of the negro race.
Il think the people OF Jefferson coun-
ty have given an exhibition of
strength Of character in dealing with
your case which is truly commendable,
1t is not always that rapist is al
lowed to go to trial, and your living
to be tried is because you have been
in the care OF men OF the highest type
OF manhood and Christian character"

tiCed law in Manila and was charged
with embezzlament The court Of the
first instance acquitted him, but the

him. The case was then appealed 10
the supreme court of the United States
by Kepner, On the grouEd that by the
process Of appeal he ~as put twice "a
jeopardy, contrary to the constitution
Of the United States.
The opinion by Justice Day sustained
this view, reversing the decision OF the
Philippine supreme court. justices
Holmes, White ana McKenna united in

opinion

enactment Dorr g. O'Brien are the
