crazed by cocaine and bad whiskey,
running amuck on Eighteenth and

negro when imprisoned by drugs is
ordinarily a peaceable and harmless
citizen. 1t is known and acknowledged,
however, that cocaine can and does
transform harmless negro into a
raving maniac and desperate assassin.

necessity If such outrages are not to

legislation it is the duty of the Police
Court to administer the full measure
OF legal punishment to those convicted

perience demonstrates tile need for
stamping out this infamy, which mem
aces the safety of defenseless and in
