of the meeting that the colored pee
pie of Richmond ought to exhaust
every resource at their command to
assist the family of James Sharp,
who was killed in his home by a
police officer last night in their eff
forts to see that justice is done in
this case. In order to do this fund
must be created to provide for the
legal and other expenses which will
be necessary to insure vigorous
prosecution.
An appeal is made to all churches,
organizations and persons who wish
to assist in this effort to send their
contributions to c 3. Gilpin, treas
urer Of the Citizens Committee, at
700 North Second Street, or make
them to the cashier of either Of the
three colored banks of the city.

are interested in this matter are in
vited to become member of the
Citizens Committee and are re-
quested to present the appeal to
their friends, churches and organiZa-
tions. The Richmond Planet edited

complete account Of the matter,
which will be useful in presenting
the appeal to all interested persons.

Those Deadly Bullets.

One bullet glanced his head, an
other passed through his lung and
the last one presumably entered his
heart and his life was at an end
in this world. Burroughs had no
warrant for Sharp's arrest and he
could not legally cross the threshold
of Sharp's door without such a
document. He was a trespasser,
and Sharp had the legal right to
resist him, even to the point of
striking him with the glass jar as
alleged, although the charge that
he did so is upon the unsupported
statement of the officer himself.
These are the facts as brought out,
about which there can be no con-
troversy. There is no allegation
that James Sharp had any whiskey
in the house or that he was a
bootlegger, or that he had any
weapon of any kind in his humble
habitation.

Under a severe cross-examination
by Attorney Alferd E. Cohen, he
admitted that he did not know who
he was chasing. No crime had been
committed so far as he knew by
any Of the boys. He had no war
rant for Sharp and was not in
possession of a search warrant.
He shot James Sharp in his own
nome and in his own kitchen, which
was used also as a bedroom. Ser
geant R. B. Sterling repeated his
statement, and Judge John L. In
gram sent Officer Walter B. Bur-

gave him a "clean bill' as re-

without having committed any
