murder of Mrs. Fryer on Monday,
May 8, came just at the right time.
Jesse Washington, colored boy Of
seventeen, confessed to both murder

The District Judge of the Criminal
Court, R. l. Munroe, elbowed his way
to his desk, and the boy was brought
from his chambers, where he had been
secreted since the sheriff brought him
from Dallas in the middle of the night.

yelled, 1--WE don't need any jury!'

(From the Washington Bee)
The Bee, at the time Major Motion
was named by a committee of apolo-
glsts, said then that he was a "Hand
Picked Leader
The condition of the colored race
IN this country is due to these hand
picked leaders," Now, in the first
place, Major Motion represents a class
OF white. men and not the Colored
Americans
He is not only "hand-picked
leader" but an apologist who fails to
resent an insult. Would any Amer-
can white man of any nationality at
tempt to make excuses for an insult

HAS this not been the policy of all
hand picked leaders? This hand
picked representative apologies for
the insult offered his wife while en-
route to her home. Will Major Mo-
ton, the newly installed principal of
iusKegee, enter suit for damages Z?
No, he would offer an apology to those
VINO had insulted his good wife. The
Bee has always been an admirer of
MAJOR Motion, and thought that he
possessed manly traits, that would
commend him to the thoughtful con-
s1deration of the American black
race, but The Bee must confess that

seDgers, both were forced to ride in
the jimcrOw car.
The wires tell us that when Major
Motion was informed of the matter, he
condoned it saying that he "resnected
Tue traditions of the South and had no
resentment against the people who
committed the outrage
THE APPEAL has no hesitancy in
saying that if Major Motion is quoted
correctly and feels that way that he
IS untitled for the presidency of an
institution which is designed to fit col
ored youth for life. Manhood should
be the basis of all training.
What more is needed to make a. man
resentful than an attack on his wife?
A being who would not defend his wife
against every foe is unworthy to be
called "a man. Even among the lower

there will be no raise for porters who

THE APPEAL agrees with the Cleve-

fully able to speak for himself.
THE APPEAL believes that if he is

Fifty thousand copies of the story
of "The Waco Horror have just been
distributed by the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Colored
People through it's official organ, the
Crisis, and as a result a campaign for
an anti-lynching fund of $4,000 has
been launched. Immediately upon
hearing the details of this American
atrocity, which for barbarity surpass-
es anything charged against the Ger
mans in Belgium, Judge Moorfield
Storey, National President of the AS
ISOLATION, and formerly President of
the American Bar Association, and
Mr.. Philip G. Peabody, both of Boston,
each offered to contribute $1,000 to-
ward such fund on condition that

THE WACO HORROR.

that the boy should die too soon.
Many had come long way to attend
this party and they didn't want it to
end in a minute. Everybody was
happy; they shouted and sang like a
bunch OF fans at ball game, accord
ing to a Waco paper.
When the boys clothes had been
cut up and distributed as souvenirs
there were not enough pieces to go
around, so somebody cut off an ear for
his Keepsake. The Waco Times-Her-
aid, published the same afternoon,
said: "On the way to the scene of
the burning, people on every side took
hand in showing their feelings in
the matter by striking the Negro with
anything obtainable; some struck him
with shovels, bricks, clubs, and others
stabbed him and cut him until when
ne was strung up his body was a
solid color of red, the blood of the
many wounds inflicted covered him
from head to foot"
They took Washington to tree or
the City Hall lawn just outside the
window Of His Honor, the Mayor
which he generously shared with Mr.

A chain was thrown over the limb O.
