J|M-CROW RULE HELD
INVALID IN D. c.
G. M. Hendricks
Tho Washington Post,
Washington, ID. G.

The so called segregation law, com
pelling white and colored passengers
TO make seats in common carriers run
ming into or out of the District or
Columbia suffered severe jolt here
today when Chief Justice Mccoy sit
ting in Cicuit Court No. l directed
Jury to return verdict in favor OF
Frederick V. Brooks and William A.
Waller, both colored who were put of
a train Of the Washington Baltimore
and Annapolis Railway Company,
August 9th, 1917.
Both men held tickets from Annapo
list to the District and when board
ing the train at the Maryland Junct.
ion point took seats in the front OF the
car and refused to comply with the
order Of the conductor when he told
thnm to move to the section of the
car devoted to colored people. Reach
ing an out OF the way point OH the
line both men were thrown from the
trnin and were delayed several hours
In reaching their destination.
"A verdict OF $500 damages was re
turned in favor of both men, the
court holding that the company was
lOI "ltullll IL ll6llS putting Iuc
passengers from tho train when they
had purchased tickets to Washington.
Justice Mccoy said that the men were
entitled to finish their journey in any
pant Of the car they cared to as they
had paid for their transportation,
The court ruled that the "Jim Grow
:. Law" Is unconstitutional III as far rs
Interstate traffic is concerned
and Is only applicable to state traffic,
namely If q person boards train IN
tho District of Columbia for Now
Orleans and Is compelled to change
several times before completing his
Journey he is entitled TO sea. in
any part of tho car he cares to sit.
Attorney ]. J. OLeary representing
che plaintiffs brought facts into the
case showing that the ruling scgregat
Ing white and colored passengers was
not an act OF the Corporation but a
regulation ferMulated by the traiR
master OF tho company. In order to
segrcgnte white and colored -passcn-
gers, under The law it is nccessasy to
file a petition with the Interstate
Commerce Commission, setting forth
the fact that such regulation Is op
proposed.
It was shown that the company had
taken no such action ana tl,t court
held hat their act was illegal and
the plaintiffs entitled to judgment
One phase of the case tnat would
probably create interest is the fact
that the jury returning the verdict IN
favor of the two colorot men were
all white and oppressed Indignation
over the fact that such arbitrary act
ion should be taken by company OH
cial acting OH his own delegated"
authority.
The ruling OF The court will affect
all railway companies running into or
out Of the District of Columbia as it
has been shown that no Jim Grow
Law" pertaining to Interstate oon-
merce has ever been sustained by
the Supreme Court OF tho United
States.
The defense Of the railway COM
pany was that they were compelled
under the laws of Maryland to sesre
gate white and colored passengers and
that considerable feeling had been
aroused over the "Jim Crow Law"
and it was necessary to the peace OF
the community to comply with the
state regulations

FOUND NERVOUS.

Dr.. Reams said that no was called
to the home several hours after tho
crime had been committed. He found
Mrs Hesler so nervous and wrought
UP so unatrung, that Mt first she did
not know him. Finally he Gained her
and then she told of tho experience
sho had undergone.
She made clear and convincing
statement. Tho physician made n
thorough physical examination of his
patient. Subsequently Dr.. Reams
called twice and talked with MrB.
Ieisler at great lenth and in detail.
Her statement did not vary III the
slightest degree, the physician said to
LAY. He was convinced absolutely Of
the truth Of the story Of tho crime is
tho blacklist In the whole history of
Richmond-and said that any other
theory Yves absurd.
Mrs. Hcisler Is a moral, honest wo
man, though in very humble circum.
eances," was the physicians opinion
of the character of the victim.
MRS. IIEISIiER MISTAKEN -
On one point he thinks Mrs. Heisler
"a mistaken in her account. He is in
clinad to believe that the criminals
were white mon and not Negroes.
That mistake. If it he mistake is
easily accounted for" he said. The
room was in darkness the light had
boen put out and Uhe men used blind
Ing flashlights.
1t was said by the doctor that Mrs
Heieler had complained bitterly Of
the APTITUDE OF the police. whose cross
questioning, she said, was seeiningly
designed to trip her into contradiction
of hes story. The physician himself
feels very keenly that the matter has
not been sandled in the spirits that
marks tho impartial search for truth
Or. Rean1S when asked the question
said The authorities had not made any
call upon him for formal complete
statement OF the examination he made
Of the victim.
The extent of his interview with
the police was chance meeting be
tween him and Chief of Police Sherry
who k@Bpsns to be citizen Of Fulton.
Fhe matter wats briefly referred t6
in that street encounter.
1t is learned today that the police
definitely established the day of the
ERNIE that shoe prints made by a
mans shoe on the bed covering but
they were not sufficiently distinct to
asrys Cor Identification purposes, &c
waS said.

DEATH OF Mr.. S. J. LINK.
A. R. Presbyterian.

A. R. Presbyterian.
The death of Mr.. S. J. Link of Alb
beville came as shock to his many
friends. Mr.. Link shot himself last
week in the right temple, using 38
caliber pistol. Death was instantane-
Gus. He was found in the second
story Of his store by one of the
clerks. Mr.. Link was a large supply
merchant and had furnished supplies
to the farmers of the county, extern
lively. The great slump in business
had hit him hard. But being a wise
and conservative business man his
stock of goods and his real estate
were not involved. Yet it is thought
that his large losses weighed heavily
on his mind and he became mentally
unbalanced.
The assistant editor of the Pres
byterian feels especially grieved at
the death of Mr.. Link. In the eighties,
the present assistant editor made a
visit to the home of DR.. W. E. Link,
of Wilmington and spent the night. In
that home was a pleasant, manly
young man, of fine gentle manners.
This visit was made on recommenda-
ton of DR.. J. w. Wideman. The re-
suit. was that ,"Jenner Link" as he
was affectionately called, came to
Due West to clerk and for several
years lived in the home of the one
penning these lines. A more affable,
courteous, correct, lovable young man
would be hard to find. After staying
in Due West several years, he went
to Abbeville, with the cordial good
wishes of his Due West friends fol-
lowing him. He began his business
career and made fine success of it.
He was honorable and upright in his
dealings and attracted friends. He
held them as with hooks of steel. We
