tones attracted much attention.
Their questions also indicated par

Sure enough down the lane that

there cam the hoOf beats of many
mounts. And Johnson saw the posse,
saw the rifle barrels rejecting the
strong rays of the sun, saw the rays
glinting off the silver mountings on

A bullet whanged past his ear. This
was followed by hundred shots that
seemed to explode all at once. The
ground was torn UP in front and be-

finally bested johnson in a gun fight:
"That MAJ bears charmed life. No

Joseph johnson leaped into his

gained a comfortable position in the

that time. Moreover. it is recorded
that he saved his masters life more

Johnson until he could not sleep at
night. He swore that he would find
the killers of his mother, and he spent
his life looking for them in vain.
His mothers home was seized by
hard-hearted landlord. and nothing
was left to Johnson-not even a job.
1t was thought that she had received
money from the white fugitive there
in the swamps to save him from the
posse. The people in the community
held this against Johnson. And he
found himself facing a situation that
held no two avenues of choice. He
could travel but one path. And he

This should be of interest to
those who sincerely believe that
an anti gun law is needed in the
United States. Such a measure,
by making it unlawful for a law
abiding citizen to own gun,
acts directly as an aid to crime.
Experience in various of our
states. as we'll as in foreign
