slaves.

it, and some Of these gangs had com
mitted any number Of hold-ups, and
one member Of one Of the gangs en-
planned that his gang had killed as many
as 20 victims. The evidence in these
cases showed that they killed reeklessly
and wantonly. In none Of the cases Of
the character I have referred TO, were
there any eolored defendants; an white
men; and the cases were Of the most
vicious type I have known in my "a
years of experience in the Criminal
Court.
"I just want to make that one point
to this commission; that never in the
history Of this community has there
been 30 many vicious crimes committed
by white men as at the present time.
Young white men banded together in
gangs 60 out and hold up people night
and left and shoot them down. I notice
that there are q few eOlOred imitators
of the white men, but the real bad gun
men Of the City Of Chicago at the pres
emit time are mostly young white men.
Sex Crimes7
SCI do not think Negroes are more
liable to commit sex crimes than whites;
I tried a colored man about six or eight
years ago for rape. He founded an
alleged eolored orphan asylum The
evidence showed that he had raped 3
number Of young children in that place.
He was prosecuted by eoloTed people
and he got life in the penitentiary. He
was the only eolored man that was ever
tried before me charged with any Of
tense Of that character. The children
in that case were oolored. have tired
a number Of white men for rape, and
while have had ten or 3 dozen cases
Of crimes Va children, in my twelve
years experience on the bench I have
never had but one case Of a eolored
man charged with crimes against chill
dren.
"The most prevalent crimes or types
of crimes amongst Negroes according
to my observation are gambling, assault
