INTiMIDATING THE JURY.

AS we go to press the jury in the
Harris case in La Junta wherein the
defendant is on trial for murder OF
two officers who broke their way into
his house, is still deliberating. Last
night after the case had been placed
in their hands and up until midnight
the Jail was surrounded by crowd
which was unfriendly to Harris, and
which made threats against him if he
was not found guilty of first degree
murder.
The refusal of Judge Essex, who
presided over the trial, to permit a
change of venue has given to Rocky
Ford and La Junta people this oppor-
tunity to impress the jury while still
deliberating, with the feelings which
they entertain toward the prisoner,
and they will be far above the average
if their judgment is not affected by
such a demonstration. This case has
gotten far beyond the life or the lib
erty of single prisoner. Colorado is
really on trial. If it will permit trials
to be like the old-time sessions of
Judge Lynch when those conducting
the trial had to do SO with the mobs
cries in it's ears, our civilization will
be held in contempt. 1t is useless for
correspondents to the daily press
from La Junta to report that no feel
ing exists against the prisoner which
would prevent fair trial.
Slould Harris be convicted, we be-
lieve it to be the Indispensable duty
of the defense to seek justice in a
higher court. If it has not the means
to do SO, the Negroes of the state
should raise the money
The hospital for the care of con-
sumptive patients has passed the
stage wherein it is only hope. 1t
now is realized fact. The need of
such place needs no emphasizing at
our hands. Hardly home but has
been importuned at some time to take
care of persons afflicted with the
white plague. Since for hygienic rea-
sons this is seldom done, place
should be provided. Now that such
a place has been found through the
enterprise of the doctors and public
spirited helpers, it deserves public
support-not mere praise, but hard
cash given to a worthy cause. Just
as the Jews have attained an enviable
reputation for philanthrophy by their
national sanitorium, so can we.
Then, too, the hope is well founded
that this beginning can be built upon
until Negroes will have a general hos
pital. 1t is no secret that we are only
tolerated now in Denver hospitals. 1t
is generally known that long since
colored physicians have been barred
from the operating rooms of all the
hospitals, operating being confined to
the staff surgeons. Both for the good
it will accomplish at once and for the
future it will lead to, the new hospital
is most welcome addition to our
public endeavor and should be sup
