MEN AND WOMEN.
Doing the Square Thins-Are You
One?

The Ministerial Alliance OF Denver,
together with the Denver Peoples Al
lance. after a thorough investigation
of the case of ]. w. Jones, have de-
cided that his is a worthy cause for
the charity and assistance of all col
ored men and women. 1t appears
that in self defense he killed another
man. He was tried and sentenced to
hang Dec. Is, 1914. Ex-Gov. Ammons
reprieved him until May, 1915. We
must raise 5000 to get his case to
the Supreme court before that time.
Jones is without friends, has no mon
ey and faces death. We believe the
Supreme court will rule in his favor.
We must raise 5000. We appeal to
you. Act at once. Send your dona-
tions to Titus 8. Rector, 2716 Welton
