SENTENCE Three
negro KILLERS
Crap Leads TO Shooting and
Death in All Three
Cases
DEFENDANTS GET
10 TO 20 YEARS

For killing men IN arguments arts
ing over crap games. three Negroes
were sentenced 10 long terms OF i'm
prisonment upon their pleas OF
guilty to charges OF mansiaushter by
Chief Justice Pennewill and Judges
Richards and Rodney in Court OF
oyer and Terminer this morning.
Edward Redding. alias John Jones,
was sentenced TO ten years tmpris-
onment for stabbing to death James
Smith. Negro; David Bradley was
sentenced 10 fifteen years imprison-
ment for shooting and killing Leroy
Seabrooks, Negro. and Peter Berry
was sentenced TO twenty years i'm
prisonment for shooting and killing
william Smith. Negro. In addition.
each was fined $500 and costs.
Deputy Acknowledgement Souther-
land entered a nolle prosequi in the
csc OF Eulah Calhoun. Negress
charged with murder IN connection
with the shooting and killing Of her
husband following a quarrel at their
home IN Curlett street several
months ago. Mr.. Switzerland told
the court that the State felt satis-
fed that they would be unable TO
obtain a conviction. Philip l.. Gar
rett was attorney for Eulah.
In imposing sentence upon the
three Negroes, the court denounced
the playing OF crap. blaming this
game for many OF the cases that
come before the courts. Judge Rod
ney admonished Bradley; "As a re-
suit OF this game a human life has
been blotted out; the court cannot
shut its eyes TO that fact"
Redding stabbed Smith 10 death
with a knife during a crap game IN
the yard Of school at Twelfth and
Poplar streets, May 80. He was rep
resented In court by J. Paul Green.
Bradley was accused OF shooting
and killing Seabrooks as an after
math OF a crap game at 21s orange
street. May 80. Deputy Attorney
General Switzerland stated that the
Staying was prompted by an argu-
rnent that arose in the crap game
and that apparently no struggle pre-
ceded the murder.
Harry p. Joslyn. counsel for Brad
ley, said that from the facts gath
cred by him, seabrooks came into
the room, hurled a supplemented
Negro into a corner. put out the
lights and then advanced toward
Bradley. Afterwards. on the street
the attorney said. Seabrooks threat
ened to kill Bradley and moved his
hand toward his hip pocket. HIS
client, Mr.. Joslyn related, then drew
his pistol. firing the first shot into
telegraph pole and then, when Sea-
brooks came toward him. he fired
two bullets into his would-be at
tacker. Mr.. Joslyn said that Brad
ley had been teaching his wife 20
use a pistol. which accounted for his
having the gun in his possession.
A crap game during a campmeet-
ing at Green Spring. Biackh.rd hun
bred, was the cause OF the shooting
OF Smith by Berry several months
ago. II was stated by Mr.. Souther-
land that the two had a dispute and
that as Smith turned and started 20 |
walk away. Berry drew a pistol and |
shot him. A pistol was found on |
Smith but the Negro had not at
tempted to use II.

that they were but collection OF

Women"
DO you realize that in those times
the women. and not the men. knew
about the healing properties OF med
icinal plants, roots and herbs? From
the earliest times, women had a
knowledge OF the treatment OF dis
ease and of the healing merit OF
roots and herbs.

B. 6 0. RUSHES
bridge WORK
Lumbrook Job to Be Fin
ished at Once, Official
Says
DELAY BLAMED
ON CONTRACTOR

Aroused by the criticism of The
Evening Journal because OF the de-
lay in completing the bridge AT Lum-
brook across tho new concrete road
between Wilmington and Newark,
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company has sent George 8. Harlan,
assistant general freight agent, here
from Baltimore to investigate the
difficuity.
The criticism was reported TO the
main Offices OF the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad by George w. Bum
pus, local district freight agent OF
the road. and was at once taken up
by the higher officials.
Mr.. Harlan said today hs had In
spected the site and could give as
surancs that the work would be
finished promptly.
81 have learned from II. G. Lane.
in charge OF the engineering depart
ment OF the company" said Mr..
Harlan, that the bridge is being
fabricated and win be put into place
soon. The delay was not due to the
railroad itself. but 20 this fact that
the contractor in charge OF the work
had his paraphernalia IN use on an
other Job. orders have been given
10 him to get busy on the Whining
ton-Newark high bridge imnedi-
ately."
Mr.. Harlan frankly Acknowledged
that the criticism OF The Evening
Journal had brought about action on
the part OF the railroad. which he
said, was as anxious TO get the
bridge finished as users OF the high
way themselves.
The Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road prizes highly not only the
freight traffic which II receives from
the Wilmington district" said Mr..
Harlan, but also the good viii OF
the city and the community at large.
We regret exceedingly the delay but,
as I have said. II was not due 20 the
road but TO the contractor employed
on the work. As soon as we were in
formed OF the conditions our en-
cheering department got busy with
the contractor. 1 repeat, you may
rest assured the work will now be
pushed TO completion as rapidly as
possible"
