THE BLAaBURN CASE.

Last week the trial of e. Tracy
Blagburn, who had an opera house man
arrested, charging him with assault,
came up for trial last Thursday, the
10Th, after having been postponed or
continued for so long. It was tried be.
fore Justice Of Peace Fred Cope. "A
jury was impaneled and after the jury
had been treated to beer during re-
cess Of the trial and the judge was in
formed of their action, yet he did not
dismiss them but continued the trial
and the jury brought in a verdict Of
not guilty, after five white witnesses
swore positively that they saw the
opera house man assault Blagburn. It
was certainly a surprise to those who
heard the case, sad misuse Of justice.
If such is the sentiment of American
sense of justice, then deliver US from
it. Mr.. Blagburn will appeal it to the
district court and he should. We are
glad that he has the true manhood to
be vindicated and defeat jimcrowism
in our opera houses. Every colored
person should be in full accord with
Blagburn in this fight.
