ing for certain. But there was no
way now. It was too late.
He lifted his hands to his face
and touched his trembling lips.
Nav. Nav. He ran to the door
and caught the cold steel bars in
his hot hands and gripped them
tightly. holding himself erect His
face rested against the bars and
he felt tears roll down his cheeks
His wet lips tasted salt. He sank to
his knees and sobbed u don't want
to die, I don't want to die. "
Having been bound over to the
Grand Jury and indicted by it, hay-
ing been arraigned and having pied
not guilty to the charge Of murder
and been ordered to trial all in less
than a week, Bigger lay enc sunless
grey morning on his cot, staring
vacantly at the black steel bars OF
the Cook County jail.
Within an hour he would be TAX
en- to court where they would tell
him if he was to live or die, and
when. And. with but a few minutes
between him and the beginning Of
Judgment. the obscure longing TO
possess the thing which Max had
din1lv evoked in him was still mo
tive He felt he had to have it now.
How could he face that court Of
white men without something to sus-
tain him7 Since that night when
Re had stood alone in his cell, feel
ing the high magic which Max's
talk had given him, he was more
than ever naked to the hot blasts Of
hate.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1943-11-06

There were moments when he
wished bitterly that he had not felt
those possibilities, when he wished
that he could go again behind his
! curtain. But that was impossible.
He had been lured into the open,
and trapped, twice trapped trapp-
ed by being in jail for murder, and
again trapped by being stripped of
emotional resources to 60 TO his
death.
In an effort TO recapture that
high moment, he had tried to talk
with Max. but Max was preoccupi-
ed. busy preparing his plea to the
court to save his life. But Bigger
wanted to save his own life. Yet he
knew that the moment Ie tried TO
/ put his feelings into words, his tom
que would not move Many times,
when alone after Max had left him,
ne wondered wiStfully # there was
nor a set Of words which he had
in common with others. words which
would evoke in others a sense of the
same fire that snoldered in him.
| He looked out upon the world and
/ the people about him with q double
/ vision: one vision pictured death,
an image Of him, alone, sitting
strapped in the electric chair and
waiting for the hot current to leap
through his body; ana tae other
vision pictured life, an image Of
/ himself standing amid ttlrongs of
men, lost in the weller of their lives
with the hope Of emerging again,
different, unafarid. But SO far only
| the uncertainty of death was his;
only the unabating hate Of the
white faces could be seen; only the
same dark cell, the long lonely hours
only the cold bars remained.
Had his will to beliVe IN new
picture of the world made him act
ia fool and thoughtlessly pile horror

Just about as much a one as his wife.

finally Mr.. Thorne was reconciled.

to try something else.
The Gillespes moved 20 Phoenix and George
became a retail liquor dealer. Things moved
swimmingly for many years and then, like
a dam, burst Katie's allegations
George, she complained, had caused her
great embarrassment" - which had been
wholly without justification or excuse"
George denied this although he did not
contest the divorce suit He added, rather
nostalgically, that Katie had been a true
and faithful wife.
Katie also charged that prior TO the COM
mencement of this action, the defendant has
been guilty of cruel treatment, excuses and
outrages toward the plaintiff by means other
than physical violence" She also charged
that he had been extremely critical of the
plaintiff and has continually found fault with
her without any reason Whatsoever
The property settlement was interesting.
Katie received, among other things, Pack
ard sedan landscape, seasCape a portrait,
an antique chest which belonged to her grand
mother, two tennis racquets "A pair of hip
boots shotgun. a deep sea rod and reel,
and any cooking equipment She might need.
