DOG AND MASTER SLAIN
BY D0G-CATCHER

Port Gibson, Miss, July 20.-One
Of the most brutal murders ever
witnessed in. this section occurred at
Pattison, eight miles from here yester-
day when Walter Roam. white. a
deputy sheriff, shot and killed Alex
Scott, colored, aged so, and then
turned his gun on the colored mans
dog.
Roam, who is a dog catcher, went
to Scott's home for the purpose of
killing Scott's dog, which he claimed
wore no license tag. When Scott be-
gan to demonstrate with the dog
catcher, Roam shot him dead without
a word. The dog then suffered death.
Examination of the dog showed
that he did wear license tag.
The white slayer has not been ar
rested.
Negroes are claimed to be leaving
the section in great numbers as re-
suit of the murder.

S0UTHERNERS SAY "LINC' JOHNSON HAS
RUINED G. 0. P. CHANCE IN SOUTH

The Macon News, of Macon Ga,
seems TO think that the Republican par
ty was hopeful of breaking the solid
ivory" South and spoiled its chances
by naming Henry Lincoln johnson. Of
Atlanta National Committeeman. We
know. and everybody else knows that
The only way to break the solid ivory
e0uth is TO re-enslavc all the Negroes
Gown there. Says the Macon News:
The governors and the national COM
mitteemen in the different states are
the men who will naturally take the
lead in welcoming the candidates and
this raises a unmber of important topics.
For instance when Senator Harding
goes to Georgia hoping to make
that state get on the Republican side of
the ledger. he is expected to get a cold
reception, especially as it will be in
cumhant upon him TO fraternize, neces-
sarilv. with Henry l.. Johnson, the
colored committeeman from that state
and others of his kind
johnson is the man who recently said
The Chicago whip. (Chicago, Ill.) 1919-19??, 1920-07-24

that thousands Of negroes who tried
to vote in the South just disappeared
from the polls and were never heard of
again and that many were lynched also
because of their desire to vote. OF
course there was not a word of truth in
this statement but it has served one
purpose-it has served to prepare a
very cold reception for candidate
Harding when he invades Dixie on
his vote-getting crusade.
Johnson is doing more good than he
knows in the interest of Democracy, and
when Senator Harding goes to Atlanta
and possibly Savannah, Augusta, and
Macon, it is safe bet that he will get
n frosty reception unless he changes
state committeeman before that time
which will no be done.
There is nothing to indicate that the
Republican candidate will fare any bet
ter in Florida, South Carolina, Alabama
or elsewhere in the South, in his efforts
TO convert the people to a Republican
way of thinking.

RICHMOND, VA, July 16th.-At

Turner, colored, today for the muir
der of Thomas Moore, government
torpedo expert, counsel for the de-
fense brought forward startling ev-
idence, which experts declare will free
the colored man.
Moore was shot and killed early an
the morning of May 23rd while out
autoing with Pearl Clark, white, of
Chicago. Feeling ran so high at the
time of the killing that it was feare d
that Turner would be lynched, and
extraordinary precautions were taken
to prevent his lynching in sight of
the National Capitol
The Clark woman was the prin-
cipal witness for the state, and ac-
cording to her testimony, Turner
approached the car demanding a dol
lar, whereupon Moore began shoot
ing.
Defense Denies Robbery
Coroner H. B. Swain, of Arlington
County testified that in his opinion
Moore must have fired the first shot,
as the wounds through his chest
would have prevented his firing after
he was wounded.
The defense offered testimony
which is declared will prove that
Turner had no intention of robbing
the occupants of the car. 1t is con-
tended that instead of being robbed
of her rings and watch, the Clark
woman practically thrust them upon
Turner when she saw him approach
ing,
Turner's counsel are endeavoring
to prove that Moore and the Clark
woman had stopped their automobile
in a dark spot on the road and were
engaged in ove-making when Turner
passed; becoming frightened at his
approach, Moore at once began to
fire, and it is claimed that evidence
will prove that Turner did not return
fire until after he had been fired
upon from the rear.

leaked out, Lewenthal fled to New

is revived, aLewenthal is ostracized
wherever he happens to be.
Johnson has led a checkered
career since leaving the United
States. In France he took the
Champs d'Elysees by storm and was
we'll known in every cafe in Paris
Going to Spain and Portugal he in
terested himself in the manufacture
of wines and champagnes, and be-
came proprietor of one of the largest
and most popular cabarets in Bar
eelona. Finding no more excitement
in Europe, johnson then toured South
America and his next fad was bull
fighting in Mexico, where he won as
much distinction as a toreador as he
had in the squared ring in America.
He also owned saloon in the race
track town of Tia Juana.
All of Johnson's enterprises proved
remumerative, contrary to current
rumor, and it is claimed that Jack will
return to the United States a mil
lionaire.
With johnson comes his white wife,
who has gone around the world with
him, and his seventeen trunks of per-
sonal effects. Mrs. Johnson is pro-
ceeding directly to Chicago.
When asked why he had suuend-
cred, johnson laughingly said: well,
I'm tired of globe-trotting. I Just
want to see State St. again"
