COneluQeQ IrOm rage l.
swung up from a lamp post and his
body riddled with bullets it would be
light punishment for his sins"
This Holy man of God would IN
doubtedly be perfectly willing to for
give Jack johnson of all his great sins
aside from his monkeying with lewd
white ladies, at the same time, no
doubt he thinks it is eminently right
and Just for white gentlemen to spend
much Of their time in raping innocent
young Colored girls.
The Afro-Americans in this city
should raise from $1,000 to $4,000, with
out delay and make a united effort to
prosecute and punish, this so-called,
Holy man Of God, under the Federal
law, for advocating mob and lynch law
murder and bloodshed, and he should
be sent to jail for six months or one
year, in order to give him ample time
to cool off and to cease from railing
and shooting off his mouth, in favor of
mob and lynch law, and against the
orderly administration of justice, by
the constituted authorities.
4 For our part, we have no more faith
in his brand of the religion Of the
Cross, than the head devil has for
Holy Water.
Judge Z. NJ. lands; United States
District Attorney, James b. Wilkerson,
and his assistant Harry A. Parkin, all
claim; that they are not controlled by
race prejudice in the johnson case;
that he will receive a square deal when
no attempt is made, to put over on
them a fake or bogus bond.
The Afro-Americans of Cleveland,
Ohio, are willing to put up a real es-
tate bond, for 100000, to aid Jack
johnson, for they feel that he is IN
duly being prosecuted, instead of being
fairly prosecuted by the government
officials.
In all parts Of the country, the Col.
ored people are wrought up, to a high
pitch of excitement, over the cruel
treatment, he is receiving at the hands
of the government. On Wednesday
morning, the following pitched legal
battle, occurred between judges, Ian,
dis and Carpenter, the attorneys rep.
resenting the government and Lawyers
William G. Anderson and Edward a.
Wright, who are waging . strong and
fierce legal battle in behalf of Jack
johnson.
The wrangle came up in court, in
an effort to have his bond reduced
which was as follows in this manner.
CATER Judge Carpenter had refused
a reduction of bail and had refused to
state what bond would be required on
the four new indictments, in the event
of the acceptance of a bond on the
first charge, W. G. Anderson of eoun-
sci for johnson appealed to Judge
lands.
"This matter is now in the hands
of Judge Carpenter and I have not
jurisdiction" said Judge lands.
The Judge paused 8 moment. Then
hs leVeled finger at the gathering of
johnson 3 lawyers.
"You gentlemen, not you Mr.. Ander-
son, in. particular, but you gentlemen
have for some reason circulated the
statement that this court has made
the bond In JohAson's case excessive
because he is Negro.
"There has been effort to raise the
race issue, to make this case a race
question.
''I want to say here and now that
any such statement is q lie"
Judge lands then addressed himself
to Anderson.
''Do you think I made the bond in
.JOhnSOn's case $4,000 because he il
= black mani"
"No," replied Anderson, "but ]
now believe the bond to be excessive
in the light Of. the four subsequent in
dietments."
