the warning in the letter.
Accordingly, he gave up his posi-

FACTS WORTH KNOWING ABOUT CH!CAG0'S BLACK Bell.
SOLDIER
TO HANG AFTER
EIGHT MONTHS
(By the Associated Negro Press.)

(By the Associated Negro Press.l
Admission, Ala. -Sergt. Edgar Cald-
well. the negro soldier convicted at a
special term of the circuit court Of
Calhoun County for the murder OF
Conductor Cecil Linton on the after
noon Of December Is, will be hanged
in the Calhoun County jail on Friday,
August Is, exactly eight months after
the commission of the crime.
The supreme court Of Alabama, on
Monday handed decision down sus-
tanning the verdict of the Calhoun
County court and jury which inflicted
the death penalty on the slayer Of the
street car man. The only thing which
can save the Negro from the hang
mans moose is the committing power
Of Gov. Thomas E. Kilby, or some un-
forseen and unexpected situation, and
the chances are that the Negro sold
ier will pay the penalty for his crime
on the gallows.
! The case of Caldwell has become one
of the few celebrated criminal cases
arising in this county. While riding
Ias a passenger on the street car of
felie Uga 4 conflunt % 8sE De cinbeF, the
soldier and the conductor became in
volved in a difficulty. After being
elected from the car by Conductor
! Linton. and his motorman, Kelsie
Morrison, Caldwell drew small cali
Der pistol from his blouse, shot Con-
ductor Linton squarely thru the head
killing him instantly. Turning the
smoking pistol on the motorman, the
Negro soldier fired a second time, the
bullet striking Motorman Morrison IN
!. the neck and iniiicting serious wound
The motorman fingered between life
and death at Sellers Hospital for sew
eral days but finally recovered. He
is now engaged in the same capacity
with the Alabama Power Company's
i street car service and but for the
slight lameness of his right shoulder
and arm, has entirely recovered from
the effect Of the pistol shot in his
neck.
A feature of the case which created
profound sensation was the actor
of President Wilson in wiring tn
governor Of Alabama asking a post
ponement of Caldwell's sentence S,
chat the Attorney General of tn
United States could investigate tn
matter. Hundreds of citizens and of
ficials in the north have taken ham
in the letter writing and telegrapnine
! and the Caldwell case has become on
!, of the most widely known is the his
tory of the country.
,, Caldwell was a member of the 157t
J Deport Brigade and had been to Hoh
: son City on the afternoon on whic
Linton was shot and killed. A pecu
liar feature developed at the trial Q
the accused Negro before the Ca
i houn's County jury. 1t was understoo
that Caldwell had always denied tn
! shooting. His attorney, however, de
sired 10 urge in mitigation of the Of
. fense that he shot on great provoca
!. tion. The upshotwas that they mad
4 this argun ant for him, but he did nt
take the stand to testify in his ow
behalf.
