The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1907-03-30

OF JuStlCe. Gray Lucas, the
black millionaire, got wind of the
warrant being out for the arrest of
his ten million dollar client, and
early Saturday morning he
rushed into Judge Fakes court,
and wanted to know if his Hon.
would accept straw bond for
two hundred dollars. Judge
Fake simply shook his head, and
replied that mo one could sign
the bond unless they could
schedule that amount of clear
property, and notwithstanding
the fact that Col. Lucas is the
only black millionaire lawyer in
Chicago, he was not permitted to
sign a bond for the small sum
of two hundred dollars.
Monday morning Doctor Rob-
inson was arraigned in the Har-
rison street police court before
Judge Fake. He was represent
ed by ]. Gray Lucas, who struts
like a black millionaire and who
can out cuss the devil himself.
While Attorneys Farmer and
Mitchell looked after Our in
terests. After relating to the
court how Doctor Robinson had
cowardly assaulted US, Col. Lucas
endeavored to make us admit
that on the morning in question
we alighted from a state street
car, right in front of Doctor
Robinson's Office, 2o35 State
street, and on doing so we ran
our hand in our outside overcoat
pocket, assumed a defiant atti-
tude and started towards the
door of his Office before entering
the store of Sandy w. Trice and
Company, and that he had every
reason te believe that 1--WE were
armed to the teeth with big re-
volver. and that we intended to
shoot Doctor Robinson"
Judge Fake wanted to know
if we had a cannon on US at that
time, and we very emphatically
informed him that we were not
armed and never carried revolt
yer nor any other kind of weapon.
Then after Col. Lucas had failed
to shake our testimony in the
slightest respect, he pulled four
copies of The Broad AK out Of
his pocket, and wanted to know
if the writer was its editor, and
after admitting that such was
in the paper; that we had told
the case, he laid the papers aside
until later on, and Sandy w.
Trice, our only witness, stepped
to the front and in a very clear
manner related how Doctor Rob-
inson rushed upon us from the
rear, and without giving US a
moments warning buried his
hands in our throat, how he had
struck us while on the floor and
had endeavored to kick us in the
face, how he tried to induce
CIeves and Smith to compel Doc
tor Robinson to desist in his muir
dereus assault upon US, how he
finally succeeded in separating
him from US, how Doctor ROBIN
SON had caught him by the throat
and declared he would whip him
if he said he had the article put
in the paper" At the conclusion
of Mr.. Trice's testimony Bud
Ceyes testified that he and Duke
Smith came into the store ahead
Of Doctor Robinson that he
walked to the end of the show
case where we were standing,
and that che was the first to en-
page in conversation with us IN
reference to publishing an article
in the paper; that we had in
him to have what he wanted pub
lished typewriter, and that we
would see what we could do with
II that while he was talking to
ms Doctor Robinson came IN the
store, stepped UP to him flrst,
and wanted to know if we had
1000 81 -n,.hf;sh the article. He
said yes. That then Doctor Roo-
inson walked UP in front of US.
and as we Strengthened up we
ran our hand IN our overeoat
