NOW, friends what is justice? Speak

Inns law has v been passed, even
though some of the highest excu-
tives of our country has asked that
t would. Here is plain facts that
hey do not care to extend justice to
MY q select and yet they call it The
land of the Free"
Friends, another reason we do NOT
ct justice in the Courts for the crime
we commit, because we are too back-
ward, too thoughtless. too carefrea 70
go down there and tell the courts
what we really saw and whv II han
pened. BY doing this, It allows Tia
lawyer that the guilty persons that
hlred him to defend him. knowinr
nat ne has committed a crime. That
S the first degree murder and he
mould be dealt grounds to work his de-
ense for him.
FRIENDS, you can't get justice IN :
ess you go there and tell the truth
and stay with the case until Justice
IS issued out. No matter hog smart
a criminal lawyer is, he has a hard
time tearing down the truth. While
IS trying to tear it down. it gives
he prosecuting attorney or the oppos-
ng lawyer ground to strengthen his
case for justice.
Friends, We must value what We
ee and know in the courts of this
ountry and above all, we must not
Re bought by the lawyer of the de-
endant OF be persuaded by his friend.
must tell the truth and stick To "
though it's Jul best friend. IL WEI
expect to get justice, end even at
that it may be hard.
Let's be fair to each other and
when these organizations that are
irving hard to force tn claw makers
4 our country to pass laws that will
protect Us, let Us get one hundred
per cent behind IT in every way Be-
cause we do not know when we are
to defend some one today,
hey may help to defend US tomorrow.
We are not always guilty, half the
ime we are not, of crimes that is
upon us.
But if we 7 guilty let Us fight
hard.
