AFRO-AMER|CAN CULL|NCS

Three judges of the United States
circuit court of appeals listened with
profound interest to the plea of Ne
gro attorney a onetime slave, who
appeared before them in the Federal
building at St Louis.
Probably few in the courtroom real
lied until he started his argument that
a gray-haired Negro sitting near the
front was a noted lawyer who has
appeared before every United States
judge in the central district in many
famous trials.
The attorney, Turner w. Bell, rep
resented three men who are confined
in the federal penitentiary at Leav-
enworth, Kan, serving sentences on
convictions of conspiracy in the ia
nous structural iron workers dyna-
hitting cases two years ago.
Bell fingered his brief as he sat
listening to the argument of Assistant
United States District Attorney L. S
Harvey of the eastern district of
Kansas, representing the government
He had spoken but few words,
such Incidents evidently were in the
everyday life of the Negro lawyer.
The men represented by Bell are
white and were given sentences of six
years at indianapolis in December,
1912
They were convicted of being impl-
Gated in more than one hundred dyna-
hitting cases, including the destruc-
ton of the Times building in Los An
geles, in half of the states of the
United States. They were at one time
officers of the organization of which
J. j. Mcnamara was a member and
who is now serving a life sentence
in California
Bell represented the men in the
United States district court in Kansas
last July and was defeated. He ap-
pealed.
Bells chief contention is that the
men could legally have been convict
ed on but one charge under the re-
vised statutes of the United States,
and that the maximum penalty should
have been but two years in the peni-
Tertiary or a fine of $4,000. They
were charged Win having transported
dynamite throughout the country, and
with the blowing up of bridge at In
dianapolis.
Bell has been a practicing attorney
in Leavenworth rs years. His hobby
he said, is appeal cases.
In 1914 he filed 81 appeals in the
United States courts, and was success
full in Al of them. In but two cases
We're his clients Negroes.
Bell was born slave in Tennessee
He was taken with his parents to
Oskaloosa. Ia, when young. and
earned enough money to carry him
through course in law.
The day he was admitted to the
bar, at Leavenworth, United States
Judge Hook was in the courtroom
and Bell considers Judge Hook one OF
his best friends.
Among famous appeals in which Bell
has been successful was the case OF
Charles A. Stevens, wealthy Negro
boy, of Kansas City, who stole mail

tence was reduced from ten to five
years. AS his fee Bell received S13,

Gaskill is a Negro who purchased
lot in the cemetery, but was denied

Justice White on the ground that no

Eli Williamson (colored) ninety
years old, for many years licensed
pilot, died at the home of his daughter
Mrs. w. b. Faire, in Washington, fol-
lowing an illness lasting only five
days.
For half a century Williamson had
followed the sea before he retired and
made his home in Washington. He
served in the navy and in the mer-
chant marine. He became a skillful
pilot and was the first colored man to
obtain first-class license at the
United States custom house at Nor
folk, Va.
Captain Williamson, as he was
known to his friends was born in Muir
freesboro, N. c., December %, 1924,
the son of Trial and Winnie William
son, and the grandson of George Will
hanson, who had been noted shoe
maker and had bought his freedom
from his master by making fine shoes.
Eli Williamson's freedom came to him
from his grandfather.
When he was a youth Williamson
went to live with family of Quakers,
who taught him to read and write, to
tie fishing nets and to rig seines for
large fisheries. This gave him taste
for the sea which never left him. He
enlisted in the United States navy and
served faithfully. After leaving the
navy Williamson entered the mer-
chant service, and when the Civil war
broke out he was chief pilot on the
steamer Curlew. 1t was pressed into
the service of the Confederacy and
later was sunk.
Williamson was highly regarded by
the officers under whom he sailed. He
did much to aid in the uplift of his
race, and was the founder of the Cool
Spring church at Franklin, Va. He
married Miss Emmaline Hunter of Vir-
ginia. Ten children were born to Them
five growing to maturity. One son,
the late w. E. Williamson of Norfolk,
Va, died February 1, 1910. His four
daughters, Mrs. Curlew Weaver, Mrs.
Katherine Reid, Mrs. Sea Bird Faire
and Mrs. Emma Gray, survive him.
For the last five years Captain Will
hanson had made his home in Wash
ington with his daughter, Mrs. Faire.
Burial was in Harmony cemetery be-
side the body of his wife, who died
March IA, 1914.
