Mr.. Bopnparte Takes Up the Case ON
the Plea That the Contract Which

Washington, April s. = Protesting
against what he terms an attempt In
some southern states to reduce the negro
to captivity, Charles j. Bonaparte, for
merly attorney general of the United
states. filed brief in the supreme court
TODAY in behalf of Pink franklin, as
a colored man, who. on charge of MUIR

The prisoners appeal, which will be
argued orally in about two weeks,

attempting to arrest the negro, went to
the latter's house, entered and was Kill
ed. Franklin was convicted of the muir
der. Mr.. Bonaparte, in a brief. showed
that the negro had reason to resist
arrest and protect himself, family and
domicile, because the statute on which
the warrant was based was held to be
obnoxious to the state legislation, violated
the federal constitution, and that any
attempt to enforce the provisions by the
arrest of any person in the situation of
Franklin constituted crime against the
United States in the laws forbidding
peonage.
THE South Carolina act, under which
1t was attempted to reduce the plaintin
in error to captivity says Mr. Bona
parte. belongs to a class of statutes
passed in several southern states intend
ed to enable land owners TO compel
specific performance of contracts for per-
sonal service on the part Of agricultural
la borers. and to this end making 1t a
crime for such laborers to leave the
service of their employers if they shall
become indebted to the latter
1.-THE poverty and imprudence of such
aborers in these states usually cause
them to need and request advances from
the land owners during the season when
there is little demand for their labor,
and the effect of these statutes is to de-
prive this particular class of citizens of
their freedom of contract with respect to

He claimed that the warrants for FRANK

In speaking of this and other eircum-
stances Mr. Bonaparte says that 1T is
submitted that the plaintiff in error was
fully Justified In using reasonable force
to protect his person, his liberty and his
habitation, and that in his situation as
shown by the evidence of the state the
firing of the fatal shot was not an I'M
reasonable use of force for these pur-
poses."
In closing his brief Mr.. Bontparte says
it seems proper to call the courts at

denial of constitutional rights to the class

11:46 p. m. london time.
!: : King Edwards death came as a
general shock. Associated Press
bulletins yesterday afternoon indicat-
ed that he had developed double pneu-
,monia and that there was little hope
for his recovery. These bulletins
were issued in the early afternoon
and stated that at that time oxygen
was being administered. The King
grew steadily worse from yesterday
morning His physicians yesterday
afternoon refused to let Lords Kit
chener, Denham, and Stratchona enter
the sick room. This was taken as an
unfayorable sign.
The first intimation of Edward 4
illness came !, ON Thursday with
the failure of the king to meet the
queen, who returned from the con-
tinent that evening. 1t has beer
the kings invariable rule to bt
present on the queens arrival from
any out-of town journey, and his alb
sence was made the subject of genera
