COURT COMPLIMENTS
LAWYERS HANDLING
OF CLIENTS CASE

Thomas Humphrey, 3206 Rhodes
Avenue, was acquitted Thursday of the
charge of numbering Dan Overstreet
June 18th, last. Overstreet resided on
the third floor of the same house in
which Humphrey lived. Humphrey
was defended by Atty Richard E,
Westbro ks, and the prosecution was
assisted by Atty. Vim. L. Dawson.
The trial was bitterly fought inch
by inch, both sides introducing num-
ferrous witnesses.
Atty. Westbrooks was especially
severe in his grilling OF the States
witnesses. and finally succeeded in
mpcaching most of their testimony.
The state prosecutor pleaded for con-
viction for an hour and half, after
which Westbrooks asked for an acquit-
tai on the grounds of self defense. The
jury returned a verdict Of mot guilty
after two and half hours OF delibera-
ton.
At the end of the trial Judge Jacob
Hopkins complimented Atty. West
brooks for the thoroughness with
which he had prepared the case.

Johnson Speaks

At a mass meeting held in Whining
ton, Delaware, on Sunday, October Is.
James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of
the N. A A. c. p. said:
"Delaware's representation in Con-
grcss voted one hundred per cent
against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill
when it was in the Lower House. and
therefore, the colored voters of Della
ware ought to vote one hundred per
cent against that representation. You
have the political power, the vote, and
YOU ought to use it for your highest
and best good. If there ever was an
opportunity for colored voters to show
that they fully appreciate the power
which they have in their hands, it is
the opportunity which the colored citi-
zcns Of Delaware now have. You
should do your utmost to defeat Con-
gresham Layton. The issue upon
which you stand is not one of petty
politics, but a fundamental issue in
volving life, common safety and the
good name OF America. If you defeat
Layton you will show that you deserve
the ballot and that you have manhood
and common sense enought to use it.
Furthermore, you will achieve your
political emancipation in the State of
Delaware"

MINISTERS BOOST
Y" CAMPA|G

Hailing the Young Mems Christian
Association as an aid and ally of the
churches, several of the city's leading
pastors on last Sunday called atten-
ton to the membership campaign in
which the Chicago association is now
engaged and urged the men and boys
of their congregations to take tull ad-
vantage of the services and privileges
the "Y" offers. These expressions from
the pulpit mark the beginning of a
new era OF usefulness for the Y. M.
c. A. in the community The ex-
pressions were occasioned by the fact
that the campaign is being vigorously
pushed by the boards of the Unit Ush-
crs' League representing the church
in special competition with the frater-
nal division.
A very interesting feature of the
campaign is the great interest the pro-
fessional men are taking in the drive.
Several of the city's leading druggists,
physicians and dentists are giving a
deal of valuable time in pushing the
drive among their colleagues. These
men and scores of others are showing
special interest in the full program of
the association and seem determine to
play the game for all its worth during
the indoor season.
The campaign closes Friday eve
ming with a big dinner in the loop to
which the high point workers will be
invited from all the city. 1t is ex-
pected that Wabash Avenue Depart
ment will be we'll represented in this
gathering.

MURDER FARMER IS
Chef At PRISON

First hand news from the bad
lands" of the South concerning Muir
der Farmer" John Williams was
brought to Chicago early this week
by one who travelled through the
South and was thought to be white.
At Milledgeville. Ga, he found John
Williams posing as chef cook, without
any duties to perform, lolling around
in the sun watching the cooks peel
potatoes.
A conversation with prison attaches
revealed the news that in the very
near future Williams is to be taken to
a county farm at Monroe, Ga. The
farm is located less than twenty miles
from his home, where the murders
were committed. 1t is said that this
arrangement has been made SO that
Williams may direct his farm activ-
tiles from the prison.

BOOZE In VIOLIN
CASE FIDDLED A
MERRY tune

NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 28.-For
several months New Workers have been
looking forward to the ball given by the
Hotel Tattler at the New Star Casino.
The Tattler is a snappy new weekly that
has taken Harlem by storm.
Everybody expected plenty of fun at
the ball, which occurred last Wednesday
night. No doubt Alexander Evans. one
of the musicians, planned to fiddle an
unusually merry tune, il his intentions
may be judged from the contents OF his
violin case. The way Evans listed to
one side as he walked with the case,
Policeman Agard was amazed at the
weight OF the violin. 1t must be iron,
he thought. Becoming curious to see
what such heavy violin looked like, he
investigated, and found that it was not a
case OF violin, but a case Of whskey
Evans had squeezed % pints into thc
case.

trict, is a product of Chicago, having
received his primary education in our
public schools and later graduating with
honors from the Illinois College of Law
For the ten years he represented the
Fourteenth Ward in the City Council
with marked ability, serving as chairman
of the Finance Committee and acting as
an influential member of other important
council committees.
Always advocating honesty and eff
cheney in the administration of municipal
affairs, he is credited with the introduce
ton of modern business methods in the
preparation OF the annual budget. This
and other reforms, among which was a
modern system OF bookkeeping and &C
counting, won the commentator of civic
bodies as well as of the press.
His business knowledge and his ability
to do big things won for him the nomi-
nation and election as Trustee of the
Sanitary District in 1916, where his in
telligent handling of the duties OF that
office resulted in his election to the very
important office of chairman of the FL
nance Committee of the Sanitary Dis
trict. Jim" Lawley, as he is called
combines with an analytical mind a
courteous bearing, which combination
makes for an ideal official.
Voters are urged to cast their ballot
for him on election day, November z
