and generosity carried home to the

by Deputy Susie J. Williams. The

Woman Cuts Harvey
Brown to Death.
RUBY WieIds Butcher Knife to
Deadly Effect. 1l
Ohar6ed with MurderszEdrly morning 1Tdge0y.
(snecial bv John Mitchell, Jr.)

Especial by John Mitchell, Jr.)
A short, plethoric, sandy-haired,
bright-skin woman was in the Police
Court Friday, June l, 1928. She
spoke to me through the iron graf
ing, asking if I could secure some
one to go her bond and secure her
release. An officer remarked that
she was charged with cutting her
husband and the wounds were so
serious that it was doubtful that he
could survive. / told her that this
being the case she could not expect
to be bailed until the extent OF the
wounds could be determined and his
chances to live definitely settled.
A look at the record disclosed this
information: Ruby. Brown, c. "a
DOM, 4O8 E. Duval Street. On war
rant did unlawfully and feloniously
assault and wound with a butcher
knife, Harvey Brown, her husband.
Witnesses: Harvey Brown, T. H.
Wilcox, I. G. Cousins, c. c. Eddie
ton, C. G. Edwards, w. B. Bur-
roughs. On June 4th, another war
rant appeared on the records, charg
ing Ruby Brown with unlawfully
and feloniously and Of malice afore-
thought "did kill and murder Har-
vey Brown.
Coroner James M. Whitfield
stated that one wound was in the
middle of the outside of the left
arm and the other one was in the
abdomen to the left of the navel.
He had been stabbed with a long
bladed knife, which went through
large intestine and cut the gall
bladder. Another visit to the city
Jail last Wednesday morning found
Ruby Brown sitting beside the iron
grating. She said she was feeling
fine and later she declined to talk,
saying that she was nervous.
AS she would not talk, ! proceed
ed to read to her the record from
the court saying that anything she
wished &c s~y r~G;I .e s.,sA .a
the public in her favor. When I
read that her age was placed at
"a years, she became embarrassed
and found out that she could talk.
She wanted to know if / thought
she looked as though she was "a
years of age. I declined to express
an opinion, contenting myself with
saying that few women ever got to
be more than 18 years of age.
She declined to say whether or
not she had any children. She did
not know the exact number OF her
residence as she had not been iv-
ing there very long. I was later
informed that her home is in Farm
vile, Va, where she has two chill
dren. 1t is reported that between
3 and A o'clock in the morning,
other tenants heard loud voices
down there and shortly afterwards
Brown had been cut. When first
approached in the Police Court, she
stated that her husband was drunk
and this caused the truble.
1t is becoming apparent why Ruby
Brown would not talk. The warrant
specifies Harvey Brown as her hus-
band. 1t is being stated that Brown
was not her husband. She is said to
hail from Farmville, Va, where she
has living husband and two chill
dren.
Ruby Browns maiden name was
Ruby Wesley. She was born IN
Farmville, where her relatives now
live. She was not married to Harvey
Brown.

LYNCHED
LATER RETURNED
ALIVE AND WELL
Taken From Georgia Jail BY Mob
on May 18th, But Released Prac-
tically Unhurt-Mystery Cleared
Up.

Atlanta, Ca, May 30.-Georgia's
record for 1928 is still clear OF
lynching, according to statement
from the Commission on Interracial
Co-operation, after looking thor
oughly into the abduction from Jail
and supposed lynching of Henry
Hood at Gainesville, Ca, on the
night of May 14th. A careful in
vestigation of the case just made
by representative of the Commits
sion revealed the fact that Hood
was not lynched nor even severely
handled, but was released by the
mob, later returned unhurt to his
home in Gainesville for a brief visit,
and then left for a distant city.
One element of the mob, Hood
reported, desired to handle him
roughly, but another insisted upon
his release and finally prevailed.
This information, picked up in frag-
mentary form from various sources,
was fully confirmed by the fugitive's
mother.
Hood, who was confined in the
city Jail after an alteration with
a white man, was taken from the
lookup at 2 o'clock in the morn
ing while all members of the night
police force were absent on their
beats. AS a result, the night chief
of police, who was held responsible
for his safe keeping, has been dis
missed by the city manager on the
charge of inefficiency. Members of
the city government and leading
citizens deplore the incident deeply
and expressed great relief when it
became definitely known that Hood
was alive,

Because it carries more power than
any other commission issued is able
to carry. Our blessed Saviour al
ways prepared the way for anything
being done by any of his disciples.
Rules Laid Down.
He had a meeting and in this
meeting, He laid down the rules.
1t is necessary to talk with the cap
tains and 60 over matters. Many
times people fail to perform their
duties because they do not under
stand what is required of them.

strate his love for his disciples.
This was the greatest meeting ever
held. This conference was neces-
sary to strengthen their faith and to
encourage them to worship. In
order to strengthen them, he had to
have a meeting. 1t was necessary
to have this conference to convince
the doubters of his reality. Thomas
was one of the doubters. He doubt
ed the fact that Christ had risen
from the dead.
The Band of Doubters.
Now, Just as there are doubters
in a little band of twelve, there
will be doubters in a big band of
1900 like you've got. 1t will be
necessary to have meetings to con-
vince doubters. I don't want to
make any fuss here, but if preach
ing the truth will make fuss, let's
have it. Having made the state
ment and held the conference, He
gave to them the great commission,
"Go We therefore and teach all ma
tions, baptizing them in the name
of the Father, Son and of the Holy
Ghost" This commission is divided
in two parts, the missionary and
the pastoral. Our brother here has
been carrying the missionary end of
it. He has been going.
The Necessary Result.
The necessary result of going is
to make disciples. When we read
of the results of his disciples work
we are pleased. When we notice
the result of this servant of Gods
work here, we find that he has been
building the world and securing con-
verts. Now, the pastoral end of it:
what was that? Teach them all
things that which I have command
ed. Keep your eyes open, where
even you can give a word of warn
ing, drop it in. Wherever you can
teach them caution, drop that in.
He must advise you in your method
of living. This is the pastoral end
of the great commission.
Must Have Weight.
Such commission must have
great weight. When Christ gave
the commission to his disciples, it
awakened great feeling in their
hearts. Why should the Lord put
such a tremendous responsibility
upon them? The disciples wanted
