AL the TECeUJ scSSIOli VI the
superior court in Hertford coun-
" a 15-year-old white boy, tried
for manslaughter for driving
his truck into a filling station
and killing the proprietor, was
acquitted by the jury. AT the
same session a Negro truck
driver. tried for nanslaughter
for like offense, was convicted
and sentenced to a three-to-fve-
year term in prison.
Judge f. Hunt Parker. after
the jury found the white boy
not guilty. delivered what a des-
patch 10 the NewS and Observer
says was perhaps the most
scathing denunciation Of a Jury
ever heard in Hertford county.
Gentlemen. ! am sorely dis
appointed at your verdict, he
said. This is the most flag
rant miscarriage of justice ]
have ever seen in my court. The
evidence in the case was plain,
unmistakable and uncontradict-
ed. that the boy was driving his
truck contrary to law, that he
left the highway, struck this
man, and caused his death. And
yet you have said the boy is not
guilty. Gentlemen, you are dis
charged"
The Negro had been convicted
but had not yet been sentenced
when this rebuke was addressed
10 the jury. The Judge calling
MIN to the bar, said u have had
before me this week two cases of
manslaughter growing out of
killings by trucks; one of the
accused being Negro, the other
white boy. Of the two, the
boy is perhaps the guiltier, The
boy is free at the hands of the
jury, and it now becomes my
duty to sentence the Negro" !"
The sentence was then pronounc-
ed.
In the trial of the Negro the
evidence was sharply conflicting
as to the speed of the truck and
the position on the highway Of
the man who was killed. In the
trial of the white boy, the de-
fendant offered no evidence, and
four eye-witnesses testified that
the boy was breaking the high
way laws.
1t is an old story: discrimin-
alton in court of so-called JUS
tice against the poor and friend
less. But what we have in mind
at the moment is another as
pect of the episode, the fact
that the driver of one of the
death-dealing trucks was only
IS years old.
The law of the state forbids
anybody less than 16 years old
to drive an automobile. Yet, &C
cording to the newspaper report
of the trial, nothing was said
about this. 1t seems to us that
a charge of violating the age
limit law should have been
brought against the father Of
the boy. or the owner of the
truck or both.
The extent to which this law
is violated is a scandal. Every
day, on the streets and highways
in North Carolina, one sees au-
tomobiles driven by boys under
16, and the authorities do moth
ing about it. We should like to
see the highway patrol, sheriffs,
and police make a roundup of
parents who allow their cars to
be driven by children, and
when the roundup is made we
should like to see stiff penalties
meted out. A few sizeable fines,
accompanied by the proper pub
licity. would do much to dis

President and Mrs. Roosevelt
yesterday led Washington and
the nation in observance Of
Easter, anniversary of Christ's
Resurrection.
1t was a rain-soaked throng
which flocked into the city's
churches, a light mist of early
morning changing to a steady,
driving rain. Those who ven
tured forth in their new Easter
clothes arrived in church soak
ing wet, having been forced to
stand in long lines beyond the

Freeman, bishop of Washington,
preached the sermon, in which
he said power in one form or
another is the logical and legiti-
mate quest of life"
Hundreds we're turned away
from the Cathedral where throngs
crowded the entrance to the great
choir. The aisles were kept clear
while the President worshiped,
and police and Secret Service men
said it was one of the largest
crowds to surround Mr.. Roosevelt
since he had taken office.
