ucted last summer OF poisoning his

der when it was found that his nephew

Men SnatChed
From Mob Get
Is Years

BARNSTABLE, Mass. Dec. "a
Orderly process Of legal machinery
has set Is years imprisonment as the
penalty that must be paid by John
Dies. Benjamin Gomez and Joseph
Andrews, convicted of assaulting Ger
trude Butler, white girl, between
Buzzard's Bay and Bourne last Au-
gust
Sentence was imposed last week by
Judge Henry T. Lummus.
The country was shocked last sum
mer when it was learned that a seeth-
ing mob of New Englandcrs had sur
rounded the Jail at Barnstable, where
the men were confined, and attempted
to lynch them.
Sheriff Rosenthal set an example
for the South by marshalling all avail
able policemen. and sending in a re-
quest for militia and state artillery
units He then mounted machine
guns in the roads leading to the jail
and ordered his men to fire when the
mob crossed a certain deadlinc. The
mob took him at his word and no
blood was shed
The convicted men will be held in
the county Jail thirty days during
which time their counsel will be per-
mited to file exceptions. A motion
for a new trial on the allegation that
one of the jurors was drunk the day
before the trial was begun, was denied.
When Assistant District-Attorney
Charles Ryan asked for life sentence,
Judge Lumuns declared that the pris-
oners' youth was all that deferred him
from complying with the request.
The testimony on which the youths
were convicted was to the effect that
they had forced Miss Butler and her
escort, William Eidridge, INTO an au-
tonob:le and took them to a lonely
spot where they committed crimir al
assault OF tae q:rl whle Eidridge was
covered with a revolver.

Suspect "Bum
Steer'' In
Tulsa Whipping

TULSA, Okla, Dee. 24.-Who
whipped George Watson? That is the
question being asked in Tulsa. Wat
son himself cannot be expected to
ask, because he has lett for parts un-
known.
A reporter for a daily newspaper
tells a story of being kidnapped and
taken blindfoded to secluded spot
to watch the whipping OF Watson by
a band OF Negro Nigilantes,' who
claimed that Watson was an undesir-
able character, and a lawbreaker.
After being whipped he is said to
have been ordered out OF town. The
victim is said to have been strung to
a tree SO that his toes barely touched
the ground and foggcd into insensi-
bility.
The belief is strong here that Wat
son was whipped by band OF whites
who had blackcned their faces to es-
cape identity.

Suit Settles
Question of
"SCandaI''

The Chicago Whip" was given
Judgment by Judge Frank Johnston,
ir.. against Mrs. Devotion Middleton.
3l44 Calumet Ave, in the case OF
Devotion Middleton vs.. Mrs !. T.
Carter and The Chicago Whip. A
demurrer was interposed by their at
torneys. Ellis & Westbrooks to the
second amended declaration filed on
behalf OF Mrs Middleton.
The suit grew out OF an article pub
llshed in the Whip in 1920, concerning
a pending SUIT for divorce filed by
Mrs. Doctor Lucretia A. Carter
against her husband John Carter, in
the Superior Court OF Cook County,
and in which certain Love Letters"
were introduced in evidence by Mrs
Doctor Carter, who claimed and testi-
fed in court on the hearing that her
husband had received from a Mrs.
Middleton. No mention was made OF
which Mrs Middleton as to the iden-
tty at that time was unknown.
Attorney Westbrooks contended
that the press had the absolute right
to publish the proceedings in court
and so long, as the same were full
and fair report OF such proceedings an
action OF libel could not be based on
the publication The suit was for
$4,000, which the plaintiff, Mrs, Mid
dieton claimed she had been damaged
in the amount in her good name,
credit ard reputation" After hearing
arguments by the attorneys for all of
the parties the judge rendered judg-
ment in favor OF all the defendants
and against Mrs. Middleton for the
costs.

Cops FoNow
Lovers Home,
Raid Flats

Concurrent with the city-wide drive
against booze and moonshine whis-
key, police authorities in the Second
Ward are said to be concentrating
their efforts to stamp out illicit asso-
Citations between black men and white
women.
Watch Black and Tan Resorts
1t is said that every rendezvous in
the district where men and women of
the opposite races are accustomed to
meet is under police surveillance, and
close watch is being made Several
houses have already been raided and
thair occupants placed under arrest.
Special police have been detailed TO
watch black and white couples min
CLING in cabarets and public places.
They are then followed and arrests
are made if they are seen to enter
flats or apartment houses together.
Sunday night six couples were ar
rested in a radius of two blocks. Three
were released after marriage licenses
were produced. The others were
booked on statutory charges.
Several men who are known TO be
living openly with white women have
been warned by the police to leave
them, it is said.
Aim at Panderers
The police drive against. = Black and
Tan" love affairs is said to be in the
nature of determined effort to rid
the Second Ward of the pandering
evil.
Investigators have unearthed a
"pandering syndicate" composed of a
clique of Black men who control the
operations of all white prostitutes
operating in the district. These men,
in conjunction with the owners of
houses of prostitution, levy a toll from
each girl who works in the house.
If she refuses to pay, she is barred
from the place. These men are said
| to control the situation as thoroughly
as the now defunct gambling syndi-
cate" formerly controlled gambling.
The drive against pandering comes
as a result of several weeks of inves-
tigation, and authorities claim they
are in possession of the names of all
panderers and houses of prostitution
cooperating with them.
