Northwest Enterprise
Reader Describes The
CrucifixiOn of Christ
BY Letha A. Watson

Over 1000 years ago, Jesus re-
surrection won the victory over
sin, death and the grave. His fair
loving face looked down on a dark,
cruel world. There were those who
followed him in disguise but in
haste and anger, they said, Cru
city Him." and they pressed clossr
and closer to him until they nailed
him to the cross. Judas kissed
the feet of his Friend. The hope
on his hands, the threats of the
judges, the blows of the guards,
the cowardice of Plate, the howl
ing demands for His death, the
insults of Legionnaires, and his
weight of the cross carried among
the sneers and scoffing of those
whom he loved, and from the very
depths of his soul like a song of
victory over the worn and weary
flesh, Jesus spoke these words,
Father forgive them, for they
know not what they do" Two SOL
diers approached Jesus and with
rapid rough gestures, removed the
Robe of love. Crucifixion must
be entirely Knocked and as soon as
the robe was removed, they passed
rope under his armpits and hoist
ed, him upon the Rugged Cross to
die while others leaned the ladder
against one of the arms of the
cross. They climbed upon it and
began to hammer away.
They seized the loving hand of
Jesus; first one, then the other,
the hands that had cured lepers,
that had caused the blind to see
and that had caressed little chill
dren's hair, but they still contin-
ued hammering away. They spread
his hands out and drove nails thru
the palms. Great drops of blood

Governor Martin Frees
Former Police Officers

Upon recommendation of SUI
prior Judge Malcof Douglas, and
prosecuting attorney B. Gray War
ner, Governor Martin granted a
pardon to former police officers
w. F. Stevenson and Fred Pas
hall, convicted with former officer
Pat Whalen of the brutal staying
of Berry Lawson, itinerant Negro
waiter, March 1888.
Because of the past brutalities
of Pashall and Whalen, feelings
mounted high and the case was
one of the most celebrated to hap
pen in the Northwest. The Ma.
A.C.P. under the leadership of its
then vice-president, ]. S. Jackson,
former local Urban League secret
airy brought evidence to light that
caused the prosecuting attorney to
issue warrants for the officers.
The trial was marked by the de-
Tense lawyers not putting their
clients on the stand to offer de-
Tense, claiming the state had not
proved that murder had been COM
mitted. At the close of the trial,
deputy prosecutor Henry Clay Ag-
new, who was in charge for the
state asked leniency for w. F.
Stevenson. The judge stated at
the time he could only sentence
them all on the same charge as
they had offered no defense. Since
then Patrick Whalen has confessed
that he alone struck the death
blows, and it was upon this con-
fession the prosecutor and judge
made their recommendation to the
Governor. Paschall recently lost
civil suit against John Follings,
well known citizen, for an alleged
beating he gave Follings on the
premises of the police station.
Chief VIM Sears who was made CO.
defendant will have to pay a por-
ton of the $2750 judgement rem
dered Follings. The Chiefs Surety
Bond of $4,000 is involved, and is
responsible for $2,250, which re-
presents the portion he and Pas
chall are jointly responsible for,
Paschall then has a seperate
Judgement against him for $500.

JUST TO
REMIND YOU.
BY E. /. Robinson

I saw the driver of Ford of
ancient vintage arrested for reck-
less driving because he permitted
high powered modern Pierce
Arrow to butt him. 1 can now see
the virtue of a plea of self defense
by three stalwart policemen for the
wanton murder of stripling
youth. l happened to know that
boy and wrote a letter to the re-
lief officials that he might event
ually secure employment on the w.
p. A. He was not the criminal
depicted in the news items.
A southern governor once re-
marked ITO hell with the consti-
tuition where niggers are concern
ed" Governor Martin seems to
have been inoculated with the
same germ. His wanton disregard
of self confessed perjury and brib-
ing of witnesses Shocks the sensi-
bilities of all lovers of law and
order. He establishes a question
able precedent; A conspiracy of
silence is sufficient cause to set
aside the verdict of a jury. Re-
putations are made by many acts
and destroyed by one. Governor
Martin may not prove the ex-
ception to the rule.
The people of Seattle are rebel
ling against all unnecessary bru-
tality on the part of the police.
The verdict of the jury in the case
of Follings VS.. Paschal, Whalen,
Chief of police Sears and the Bond
ing company is significant. Fol-
lings, a reputable race citizen was
administered most brutal beat
ing in the presence of seven or
eight officers So aggravated was
the beating that the trial judge
stated, if the testimony of the wit
ness (Follings) is true, the police
department needs renovating. Mr..
Langley promised such removal
ton when he campaigned for
Mayor, but since his election he
has forgotten to remember.
The signal work of the Nation
al Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People is highly
commendable. The many white
men and women who are members
of this splendid organization are
actuated in making Democracy not
just mere name. The National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People is still on guard.
