VERDICT PLEASED CROWD.
Acquittal of Negro Meets With Gen
eral Approval. ~

Sidney, Iowa, March 31.-Special:
When the jury acquitted Henry john
son, the aged Negro and former slave
who was on trial here in the district
court for the killing of Henry Porter,
the crowd which filled the court room
greeted the verdict with a storm Of
hand clapping. This was Johnson's
second trial. In January, 1918, he
was found guilty of second degree
murder and sentenced by Judge
Arthur to twenty-five years in states
prisons The supreme court reversed
the verdict and granted new trial.
On the night Of December 19, 1912,
at Hamburg, johnson shot and killed
another Negro named Henry Porter.
Porter had a wife and family in st.
Joseph, Mo. He had been paying at
tentions to Johnson's divorced wife
and to his young daughters. Johnson
claimed he was trying to protect his
16-year-old daughter, Pearl, from the
evil designs Of Porter and claimed he
fired in sef-defense when they met
on a lonely road. Johnson was slight
ly wounded in an exchange of shots.
He was born a slave in Kentucky in
1916 and was sold three times.-Reg-
ister and Leader.

Claud Wheeler has returned from
a weeks visit with friends in Daven.
port and Rock Island.
Word reached this city telling of
the death of Rev. Hiram Lewis at the
home of his daughters in Belle Plaine
on Wednesday, March 11th. We did
not learn the particulars regarding
his death, but his advanced age was
suffisient to leave little doubt as to
the cause. Father Lewis, as most of
us were won't to call him, lived life
Of industry, uprightness and devotion
to the principles of Christianity that
he taught and preached as minister
of the A. M. E. church from the age
Of 27 until his death.
