for that: the colored defendant as q
rule is unable to give bail. These 15C
cases were old bail cases, and therefore
it was natural enough that you would
not find colored defendants even in this
large number Of cases. Ny experience
in the Criminal Court is that the eOlored
defendant is usually unable to give bail

case is very quickly disposed Of by the
prosecutor. Defendants locked up are
usually tried frst.) The eolOred man,

While l have had ten or q dozen cases
Of crimes vs.. children, in my twelve
years experience on the bench 1 have
never had but one case of q colored
uIu charged with crimes against chill
drsn.
"The most prevalent crimes or types
Of crimes amongst Negroes according
my observation are gambling, assault
eases caused by drinking or women, and
petty theft.
Susceptibility Of the Negro to Anest7
Negroes are more likely to be ar
rested on suspicion than white persons.
, If you will tell me why race prejudice
EXISTS in this world, 1 will tell you
why this is 80. 1 don't think all the
police are quite As careful in arresting
sOlored men as they are in arresting
white men. 1 think they are apt to
hesitate a little longer when q white
man is involved.
Discrimination in Court
There is another thing concerning
the eolored man on trial in the Criminal
Court that has to be kept in mind. 1t
is a peculiar thing about human nature,
that no man wants to admit that he has
Prejudiees. A man viii say on the out
side that he doesn't like the Negro, or
doesn't like this person or that person,
but you get him under oath in the jury
box and in my twelve years on. the
bench I have never known a juror to
admit that he was prejudiced against
any race or creed. 1t goes without say
ing that under such state of affairs
you win probably get men on the juries
that try eolored men that have q leaning
against them. would say that where
there is a eolored defendant and a white
witness that there would
be a grave danger that the jury might
unconseiously favor the white side Of
the ease. I win say that some juries
will convict a eolored man with less
hesitation than they win convict a white
man on the same kind Of evidence. For
that reason in the cases in which .
eolored man is involved, watch the
evidence like a hawk.
Legal Representation for Negro Dc
PENDANT
The Negro usually hash I the money
to employ proper sttorneys-eomPetent
attorneys. In two out Of three eases
tined before me in which there were
eOlored defendants, I had to appoint at
torneys to defend them I appointed
white attorneys because when asked
them whom they wanted they told me
and appointed the one they asked and
made him serve.
