HIS ENTRY INTO THE LEGAL
ARENA
CHAPTER SEVEN
(COntinued

Tile next case of any Importance
was the extadition case OF Dough-
lass Cooper, who was caught in
Canada on the banks of the
Thames River. He was cooking a
chicken and frying a fish. and on
his clothes were clots of blood.
There had been committed recent
ly a murder in Detroit and the
authorities in Canada had been
warned to pick up all suspicious
characters and question them.
When they came upon Cooper, and
found him living the life OF a vaga-
bond. they concluded that there
must be something wrong. They
notified the authorities in Detroit.
who in turn got out extradition
papers, which were recognized by
the Canadian government. Upon
being locked up in Jail in Detroit.
Cooper secured the legal assis-
lance of Willis and Williams. The
prosecuting attorney in his plea
for conviction of murder upon the
grounds of circumstantial evidence
because OF the blood on Cooper
clothing. called in the county che
mist TO substantiate his statement.
Upon examining the blood on the
defense's garments, the chemist
declared that it was the blood of a
human being.
Robert j. was in a tight corner,
and knew it. but he remembered
that in his study of the science o.
zoology, he had come across this
statement that the red blood cor
puscles of all vertebrate animals
are disk shaped. with thick edges.
and are circular in outline. except
in the camel and the llamas. lie

man, birds, reptiles, fishes. cyclos-
tones and lancelets all had back

the chemist admit that because {
these scientific facts. the corpu
scles In the blood OF a human be
ing. guinea pig, fish. and CHECKER
were all of the same shape.
This admission on the part O
the chemist created legal doubl
in the mind of the court, and
secured the dismissal of Cooper.
II should try to enumerate and
give the details of all the cases

ways recognized true merit. il
would have been impossible for
him TO have reached the heights
which he has attained. So many
Negroes, instead OF being heroes In
ia estrife. are content to remain
inactive. and expect sympathy
from their fellowmen. AS soon as
hey real ize that he who
would have the kernal must first
crack the shell. the more respect
will they receive individually and
collectively from other groups.
One thing 10 remember. above
all things. is, the best friend that
We have had is the American white
man. and the worst enemy, our
selves. Men of our race. who have
accomplished anything noteworthy
have been encouraged and aided at
some psychological moment when
they thought that the entire Aryan
race was against them. AS incident
occurred in the early practice OF
Robert j.. which has left a lasting
impression upon his heart. 1t was
as follows: Judge Robert +. Fras-
Ter was inclined to be little alb
rupt; not that he was unfair In his
dealings. but because he possessed
a nature that was not susceptible
TO humor. Robert j. on the MORN
ing in question was in his court.
and had been patiently awaiting
his turn to obtain an order OF
extension OF time, for ole OF his
clients.
Judge Frasier was the only
Judge in court; hence was pressed
with many case. Finally Willis
obtained the attention OF the Judge.
and asked for an order extending
the time on his case but the judge
abruptly refused and prepared TO
leave the court room Willis APP
peared downhearted because of the
rebuff OF the Judge. and was turn
ing away, when he was stopped by
Colonel Atkinson, at that time one
OF the greatest barristers in Michi-
gan. and very dear friend of
Judge F'rasier. He inquired OF
Willis the cause OF his Respondent
looks. and upon being told the
situation, he chided the Judge with
not being more patient with Willis.
The judge. seeing that the colonel
was really championing the cause
of Willis. finally relented and gave
him the extension. The extension
meant a 5000 fee. which in his ear
~ practice. was much needed TO
feed his eight children He has
often said that Colonel Atkinson
was his guardian angel in that
specific instance of his life.
Humor and traiedy go hand in
hand. In Shakespeare's works this
fact is brought out more than in
those of any other writer. IT'S true
that when we laugh the world
laughs with us. and when we weep
we weep alone. Attorney Will,
has always had the burden OF I'M
race upon his shoulders. 1t has
been asserted and substantiated by
undisputable data that he has gone
further. sacrificed more, and re-
ceived less compensation for his
efforts for his race than any Negro
in the State of Michigan. and per-
haps in the United States.
Judge Theodore T. Richter IN
to request for his opinion
of the manhood and worth of At
torney Willis has this to say.
Dear Mr.. Butler:
