You certainly are right for | am a self
conceited chap all right. Doing me a
lot of dirty tricks I do not think will
change my opinion of myself. You
people are peaches, seeking my life
and liberty because you cannot put
your rough stuff (bull) over me. /
seek revenge because all of you have
lied. l give you credit, you have made
it very sensational all right. Every
body as far as l can learn, believe it
will only be a short time now until I
will be fraid to walk down a Negro
residence street and to be caught out
in a white neighborhood will be out
of the question. So far as getting
work is concerned, nothing doing, they
certainly; are doing their contemplate
dirty tricks all right. l know Just
what they need and want, they want
another Henry Miller case, that oc-
CURED at New Orleans, La. Sure they
killed him, but what did they get in
return, twenty more funerals. Sure
they won by the aid of Negroes. 1t is
known that a Negro and a white man
will r~eciprocate in some instances,
that is when a .egro is concerned.
That is my case; you help us and we
will help you. You all have the power,
we furnish the lies. You all turn the
trick, that let's us out. We won't know
anything about it. Say, listen, you are
too sure l am crazy. Did you ever
hear of or see a Negro who contended
for his honor against all foes that
wasn't crazy? / can tell of a dozen
or more of cases where Negroes GER
tainly were crazy when they fought or
killed some II and especially a white
person that was crazy. Any time a
Negro resents a white mans insult he
is called crazy. Certainly, and any
time any respectable Negro or self re-
keep his home intact from the ravish-
ing pups who come in their cunning
ness, you certainly are crazy. Haven't
we broken up others homes? haven't
we had others wives and daughters
for our use; haven't we lied and talked
about others? Why could not we do
the same to you? Because we do not

walking around l see both black and
white men, both so busy doing me
some dirty trick, also read a great
deal in the papers. l can hardly keep
hands off of them. l have roomed
at three or four places since March
and every place yet these ours have
to my knowledge come and filled the
n~eighborhood with their lies, stalling
around. OF course l am afraid to do
anything to their special interest.
They are free, privileged characters,
do anything they want. l am so afraid
it is a wonder hat / would not bury
myself some place to keep me from
being seen and so far as the Negroes
are concerned, if l should take some
thing and beat them over the head
with it they would throw up both
hands and holler, what are you beat
ing me for; l haven't said anything
about you or done anything to you.
Make all kind of VOWS just as all of
them have done.
Fellows, l tell you why they have
not come to my rescue, it is because
they are a set of cheap curs without
one spark of principle or manhood.
| tell you, or have told it at least all
of you have made a mistake, and l
intend to prove it TO all of you when
the time comes, so you can spring all
the stalling game you want to, keep
all your snipers busy. So just remem-
Der in the future anything that is
said about me in any way, either YER
bal or oral goes for me, for all of it
will be true so far as 1 am concerned. |
l want to give all of you a good show
to win. You have been more busy
than a cat, doing me dirt. You have
got everything your way, so go ahead
and win, all of you have bought and
paid for a share in me-. l intend to
either make you all buy me out or l
buy oil of you out. Somebody has
either got to win or lose. No break
ing even in this game. l only wish /
could use phrases in this writing that
| have in mind to use, in fact / wish
that l was in a position to do a great
many things that l want to do. So it
has come to the place where l am the
laughing stock for them. All right,
boys, pray to your God that / lose, |
then you can always laugh. Try and
keep the tide from turning if you can.
Sure am the little Negro that they
are giving such a good time. Sure l
am the one all of you are after. You
all are good Negroes, / am a bad little
Negro. Sure l am the one, and when
they do get rid of me l want all of you
to have a big rejoicing over 1t. IL
haven't got any right to live, to work
or be around with any of the dirty ours
in Kansas City, so let us get rid of
him. You ought as there are enough
of o trying to. Hurrah, hurrah for
the Negro. l want my body to be
burned for the sake of a few under
mining, dirty ours in Kansas City.
Pretty nice notoriety, to walk up and
down the streets and have the birds
cheering: there goes that man that
breaks in peoples houses; pretty nif-
ty, good work; it shows that every
thing is working all right in their ia.
vor. You know that ~notoriety cannot
last very long without some result.
Know that much even as foolish as
am. Well, when they get ready foi
the big event to take place l will be
here and ready for the bunch, in fact
