Man of Murd e r
Charge

Through the efforts of the Hender-

an attempt to convict a colored man of
murder of which he was innocent was
frustrated. The following report is
submitted by Mrs. La Vetta ]. Smith,
secretary of the Henderson Branch,
\. A. A. C. P:
I'm 1909, Joe Crow killed man in
Henderson. He was indicted and held
to the grand jury on bond. When the
time for trial came he could not be APP
pretended. Last January Joe Grow
was arrested in Detroit and returned
to Henderson as the man who commit
ted the murder in 1909. He was not
given an examining trial and when the
grand jury met the state was not ready
hence he was remanded to Jail until
May.
I'm the meantime his sister and he
claimed he was not the same Joe Crow
murdered man claimed it was a case
of mistaken identity also. The lawyers
said there was nothing to be done but
wait till the case came to trial as he
was evidently the guilty party. Even
the one who took the case for 500
took no steps.
"Our legal committee investigated
the case and established evidence of
his residence and marriage in Kansas
City, Kan, at the time of the murder.
We sought a lawyer and only one
would take the case. We paid him 500
and in less than five hours Joe Crow
was n free man without the case be-
ing brought to trial. The prosecuting
attorney therefore did not obtain the
reward offered for Joe Grow, the mur-
derer.
