He Is very poor and could not seek redress him. self. They will help any other individual. black or white. who has been treated in the same manner. The gentlemen are withholding their names at present be- cause they don't want the public to att tach any political significance to their action. can state positively for them that politics has nothing whatever to do with It. Their action is animated by something higher than that"
