ANOTHER ANTI-NEGRO DECISION.

George W. Grimm, a colo-ed Pull
man Car Porter, brought suit against
Daniel NJ. Brady. white for false ar
rest. Brady charged Grim with
stealing twenty dollars which he
missed on a sleeping car. A white
jury brought in a verdict of ($2,1OO)
two thousand. one hundred dollars
for the colored porter and Trial JUS
tice Dagro set aside the verdict be-
cause Griffin would not accept three
hundred dollars in lieu of the amount
given him by the jury.
He did this, he said for the reason
that a Negro would not suffer as
much as a white man from injury
of this kind. Such a decision rem
dered in New York was in the nature
of a surprise and something OF a
wonder. Now the appellate division
of the Supreme Court has sustained
the decision Of Trial Justice Dagro
in setting aside the verdict and has
remanded the case back to the court
for a new trial, but in it's ruling has
stated that it is not to be taken as
an approval Of the declaration of the
trial Judge.
This is a distinction without a diff
ference. Trial Justice Dagro stated
his reasons for setting aside the YER
dict and attempted to force a COM
promise. The appellate division of
the Supreme Court sustains him and
then virtually announces that IL does
not approve OF the main ground on
which the verdict was set aside. II
