The case came up several days a

Andrew Patterson, the coiored man
who has been in Jail awaiting a dis
position of the case. IL was argued
BY Wetmore and Purcell, the coiored
attorneys representing Patterson,
and by County Solicitor Bryan for
Sheriff Pickett. There were sever
al grounds cited by the attorneys Tor
the plaintiff. most Of which were
claims that It was a violation OF the
fourteenth amendment to the con-
stitution. The objection upon which
Judge Call ruled the bill unconstitu-

guments. In rendering his decision
Judge Call stated il briefly.
There were a few whites and a
great many colored people in the
courtroom when the decision was rem
dered. The coiored people rushed
from the court 10 board the first
street car in order that they might
spread the news among the members
of their race. Acting on the decision

It is needless to remark that il
pays some colored folks TO remain

testimony of those white witnesses

innocence.
Southern white folks are either
one way or the other-they are
nightly against you or nightly
for you and in this case, they stood
by the colored boy and the fair
minded justice gave the colored
youth the benefit of the doubt, even
when there was no doubt. There
is much meaning in the once popu-
lar tune. "All Coons Look Alike to
Me" and there are thousands OF
white people who can. with deep
feeling. join in the chorus and re
