Father and Son, Because the Latter

Let Us All Help Financially.
Colorado State Penitentiary.


Hon. N. G. Crews, Dear Sir: l am
enclosing herewith a copy of a decis-
ion handed down by the supreme court
OF Colorado in regard to my case,
which was hastily tried in district
court of Otero county at La Junta,
Colo, in July, 1911, where I was in
stantly convicted and sentenced to
death and my aged father, a man of
near SO years, was also convicted as
an accomplice and sentenced from 80
to SO years at hard labor in state pen
i%tontiary. 1 was sentenced to death
f&- protecting my aged father and
mother, in their own home, and my
life at the cost of the lives of the two
brutal, inhuman, prejudiced, Negro
hating, lawless policemen who were
assaulting my mother and father, and
seeking to murder me.
But after being denied a new trial
by the judge trying my case, my at
torney, Ex-Judge Lyman 1. Henry OF
Pueblo, Colo, assisted by W. B. Town
send, att~orney-at-law of Denver, Colo,
aided at great expense by good citi-
zens of both races and members OF
my lodge, the R. T. Coles lodge, No.
SO, A. F. and A. NJ, Kansas City, Mo-,
and my fathers, Prudent lodge, No. 6,
A. f. and A. NJ, Kansas City, Kas.,
I succeeded in getting our case to the
supreme court, which readily reversed
the judgment of the lower court, and
granted me a new trial which will
soon come.
Now, dear sir, the fight has just
commenced as the prejudiced class in
that community are determined that
the sentence imposed on my father
and myself be carried out, and they
villa use every mean in their power
to gain their hellish ends, and to
thwart all in their desire to see me
get justice. 1 appeal to you for finan
cial aid, if you can assist me in any
way through the columns of your pa
per, or otherwise, to meet the finan
cial demands involved, it will be great
ly appreciated. My reason for sending
you a copy of the supreme courts de
cision and comments, is for you to see
clearly it was not an act trying or at
tempting to defy the law in any way
but one Of protecting my parents ant
my life. 1 again beg to state that
am a worthy member of R. T. Cole
lodge, No. sc, Kansas City, Mo-, ant
my father, Joseph Harris, of Pruden
