Attorney J. Gray Lucas, the
Black Millionaire, Has Be
come Bughousey.

For long time we are free to
confess that we had a very high
opinion of ]. Gray Lucas, for we
thought he was honest in his deal
ings with his fellowmen, but
since he has become one of the
black millionaires of Chicago, in
his own mind, we have greatly
changed our mind in this respect.
One of the reasons which has
lead us to change our mind re-
speeding the honest and straight
forward conduct on the part of
this handsome black millionaire
is this. Last Tuesday morning
he invited the writer into the of
fee of Capt. lanes S. Nelson and
|. Reed, II9 La Sale St, and
after requesting us to be seated,
he began the conversation by &C
cusing us of getting pointers from
Attorneys McElwee and Abbott,
who have Offices on the sixth
floor of the same building in re-
lation to his shady conduct in
connection with his ten million
dollar law suit. We very plainly
informed millionaire Lucas that
in making that statement 'he was
a liar"
AT that point in the converse
ton he jumped to his feet, ran
to the door and locked it. Then
he turned to us and declared he
would knock our block off us, and
used a lot of rough bughouse Ian
guage which can only gush forth
from the mouths of that class of
black millionaire lawyers who
are seemingly not above resorting
to one or two dishonest tricks
in order to earn a few dollars.

AS the last words of the sentence
fell from the judges lips the great
crowd that had stood throughout the
dramatic scene, sent up a thunderous
cheer. 'tGood for you'll" shouted a man
in the back of the room. His eiacula.

aral threw their bats into the air,
others scrambled upon chairs to look

the greatest confusion prevailed.
