8 NEGROES TRIED
IN FEDERAL COURT
FOR STEALING GIN
DeCorum of Court Almost Shat
tered BY the Proceedings.
UNIQUE DEFENSE SET UP
BY THE C0LORED MEN
Intimate That White Men Have
No Warrant to Infringe Upon
Culled Gemmen Rights With
Respect to Gin.

One of the funniest cases that has
ever been heard in the Federal Court
here was tried late yesterday after
noon. when Bob Rippey, George Wash
ington and James Smith, three culled
gemmen from New Martinsville, were
placed on trial charged with stealing
and drinking quantity Qf gin. The
case was Of such nature that 1t kept
the court officials, the jurors and the
spectators in an almost constant au-
dible smile. and even at times fore
ed Judge Dayton TO relax his dignity
somewhat and grin behind his hand.
iRippey stole the gin and gave 1t TO
Washington and Smith, who drank 1t.
There were several colored men in
the audience as this part of the sto-
ry was developed, and they sat with
rapt attention and shining eyes as
Rippey, who turned states evidence,
told how Washington and Smith had
done gone and drunk all the gin up
and left none for him
The defense OF Washington and
Smith was unique. They did not rely
much upon any evidence tending to
show their innocence, but took the
position that no white gemman had
any inherent right to probe into such
4 pussonnal matter as what any cul-
led gemman did with his gin They
assumed that this transaction in gin
was strictly matter between three
culled gemmen, and could not under
stand why the great and powerful
government OF the United States
should interfere in so intimate a
question as this They regarded this
interference as direct infringement
Of their rights under the fifteenth
amendment, and did not hesitate to
tell the jury So
However. the members of the jury
not possessing that instructive insight
into and understanding OF the gin
question that is the inherent BIRTH
right of every culled gemman, brought
in verdict of guilty against all three
men and they were sentenced TO SO
days in the W.etzel county Jail Dazed
and incredulous. they left the court
room, to be led away to commence
their terms.
Belcdo Gets Three Months.
Frank Belcido, the Clarksburg man
