office and into the waiting room, the
person in the pantry fired-directly and
without obstacle-toward the fright

DIR. Carman or for Mrs. Bailey Is not
determined. but the detectives declare
that II Mrs. Carman fired the shot she

Freeport. L l., July 15-The new
theory upon which District Attorney
Smith depends to bring Mrs. Carman
to trial for the murder of Mrs. Louise
Bailey involves another woman. Here
is his theory which has been devel-
oped by detectives:
If Mrs. Carman killed Mrs. Bailey
she did not shoot through the window;
she must have fired the shot while
standing in the door leading from the
pantry into the office of her husband,
Dr. Edwin Carman. and the window
was broken by woman who was Mrs.
Carman's accomplice.
Detectives argue that IL would be an
impossibility for any woman or man to
have broken the window. thrust in a

1t all tho negro's nerve has never been
shaken. From the day OF his arrest
he has maintained his innocence of
the crime charged against him and has
expressed confidence in his ultimate
acquittal
The murder OF McClurlSin occurred on
the night OF April 10. 1909. About mid

noise of someone robbing his cotton

Surrendered Rights Never Reclaimed.

Your contention that a few teachers

Our early life was spent in the Schools

about ten years later we returned to
Chicago and going to the Appellate

A VAST DIFFERENCE, BROTHER
MOORE.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
New York Age, asks: what is the
difference between segregating col
ored people in offices at Washington
and segregating them every day in
the year right at our own doors in the
ordinary vocations of life?"
THE APPEAL believes that there
is vast difference. Refusal of white
people to employe Afro-American me-
chanics, clerks, stenographers and
others is in every case the action of
individuals and however unfair it may
seem, the individuals have the right
to employ whom they please.
The case of the government is en-
tirely different. The Afro-Americans
are citizens and as citizens they have
the right to demand identical treat
ment other citizens receive. They do
not, however, always get it. Afro
Americans who have won their PLACES
by civil service tests, have been de-
NOTED or discharged without cause ex-
cept the color of their skins and in
several of the departments Afro-Amer-
lean clerks have been segregated from
their fellows as if they were lepers.
That is a stigma which the Govern
ment has no right to place upon hon.
est, intelligent, efficient, industrious
and patriotic citizens.
There is vast difference between
the acts of individuals and those OF
the Government of which the Afro
American is, a part, which he is taxed
to support and which he defends with
his life in time OF war. ...
