RICHMOND DIMES DISPATCH: THURSDAY NOVEMBER 22

cuse offered by Mccall for his action. thai
he feared the accused would be convicted
without being guilty, Is a pitiful subtcrfugc
to conceal his real motive. which Is the de-
feat of justice because OF unwarrantcd
prejudice in favor Of any negro accused Of
crime committed south Of Mason and Dixons
line. The conclusion is unavoidable that
Governor Mccall is willing to debase his Office
by turning loose upon society tho worst type
OF criminal rather than have him undergo
the test of establishing in court. under con-
stitutional guarantees safeguarding his rights.
the question OF his guilt or innocence. The
thwarting of justice by such indefcnsible
means should be as strongly resented by the
people CT Massachusetts as those OF West
Virginia. for in the case of the former II
imposes the menace of having turned loose in
their midst dangerous criminal who under
tho protection extended him. will feel free
TO continue his crimes.

I'd i.ike to NNrIte.


I'd like to write just what I think
About the IIun--thc hated hound
Tho beast with heart az black as Ink
Who 40 dcspoil3 Gods favored ground.
I'd like to pen a few short words
About that sceptcred Son of Sin
Who th:ot;lcs heavens singing birds
Rut I've no words TO pen them In:
Id like to write. FREQ from the heart.
The curse that In my heart is Gagged;
ia like TO tear his soul apart,
SO is my weeping soul enrascd!
Upon that lichenzollcrR
Would like TO pour my bit of hate
But under freedoms smiling sky
There arc no curses adequate!
No words 10 curse. no form OF speech,
NO lifting phial OF wrath 10 ling:
No rcnec ance deep enough to reach
The hell TO which I'd hurl that Thing
That guides the arson of tho age.
Secure for Now behind his might.
So in my burning heart must rage
